Description

A set from the education range

The Educational and Dacta range was developed for schools, nurseries and learning settings rather than for the ordinary toy shelf. This set follows that approach: it is filed under Duplo and Explore, which means extra-large bricks made for small hands. An airport gives children plenty to talk about, from travelling and vehicles to watching how work gets done on the ground and in the air. The set dates from 1999 and is a good example of the range.

Few parts, strong colours

With 97 pieces the airport counts as a small set, yet with bricks of this kind that is a good amount of material. The main colours are black, red, blue and yellow, exactly the clear primaries that toddlers learn to tell apart and name early on. The variety is kept low, with 37 different parts, which also helps at tidy-up time. It is less a collector's item than practical building and learning material, and it fits well into a larger box that already holds other bricks.

No figures, lots of imagination

No minifigures are included, and that is not a drawback. Children of this age bring their own figures, animals or vehicles and invent the stories themselves. The airport only provides the stage: a layout that can be changed, extended and rearranged as often as you like. For adults looking for a Duplo set that sparks conversations about journeys and jobs, the theme is a good starting point. It is less suited to display, but all the better for playing together on the floor.

Parts list and combinations

The parts list, with all 37 different parts, is on this page. It lets you check a second-hand set for completeness, which matters particularly with large bricks, because every single piece gets used in play. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other models you could make from the parts you own. Because the bricks are simple and sturdy, they mix easily with other Duplo sets and can be combined into a larger play world over time.
