Description
A set from the educational range
This airport was released in 1989 within the programme for schools and nurseries, filed under Educational and Dacta. More precisely it sits in Duplo and Explore, the line made for the youngest builders. The emphasis there is less on fine detail than on exploring: pushing vehicles about, rearranging buildings and inventing role play. With 85 pieces there is enough material for a group or a single child to put up a whole airfield and then rebuild it in a new layout.
Bright colours for small hands
Yellow, red, blue and white shape the set. These primary colours are typical of Duplo and help younger children tell shapes apart and sort pieces. There are no minifigures, so buildings and vehicles take centre stage. With 45 different parts among only 85, nearly every piece has its own job: a functional brick, a roof, a vehicle part. That makes following a model easier, but it also keeps discovering ideas of your own interesting.
Playing and learning
An airport offers plenty of play without children having to know one: where do the planes park, who waits for whom, and what happens at take-off? Parents and teachers can use the set to talk about jobs, travel and transport. While building, children practise fine motor skills and pick up ideas such as above and below, left and right. The larger bricks snap together without frustration and can be taken apart again at any moment during play.
Sorting and adding to your parts
If you bought the set second-hand or own it among a big box of bricks, the parts list on this page lets you check your stock. It shows which shapes and colours belong to the set. With the “What can I build?” tool you can also see which other models your parts allow if you own several sets from this line. That way the airport keeps turning into something new, and the parts stay useful even when the children have moved on to another favourite theme.
