Description
A basic set for nurseries and schools
The Educational and Dacta range was aimed at institutions that wanted to teach children through building. The Large Basic Set sits in the Duplo and Explore group and offers a solid choice of basic bricks with its 198 pieces. Rather than a single model, the focus is on recognising, sorting and combining shapes. Along the way children pick up a feeling for size, quantity and order without even noticing, which later helps with reading, counting and tidying up.
Four primary colours
Yellow, red, blue and green are the main colours, which turns the set into a classic colour game. Children can sort by colour, build patterns or stack towers in fixed sequences. With only 40 different part types the range is easy to take in, while the shapes are easy to grasp and tell apart. That helps with learning, since not too many variants appear at once and differences are simple to remember. After play the bricks can also be sorted back by colour in no time.
Play without rules
Minifigures and fixed instructions are not part of it, because the set is supposed to encourage free experimenting. Younger children in particular benefit when they can put their own ideas into practice without pressure. Parents and carers can set small tasks, such as building a tower in one colour or constructing a bridge that can carry a small car. Collectors value the Dacta sets above all as a record of how toys and teaching were brought together.
Exploring the parts
The complete parts list is on this page. With “What can I build?” you can see which other models your own collection allows when you add the bricks of this set. This helps if you already own many loose bricks and are looking for an idea of how to put them to good use. The strong colours also make the pieces easy to find later when you are searching for something specific, and they are as easy to spot in the parts list as in the box.
