Description

Learning through animals

This set comes from the educational side of the brand and is aimed at the youngest builders. Instead of houses or vehicles, animals take centre stage, ready to be assembled and used in play. Children can name the species, sort them into groups and build small enclosures or landscapes around them. Thanks to the large pieces it suits small hands, and for nurseries, playgroups or a child's room it makes a simple and sturdy basic kit that survives a lot of enthusiastic handling.

Colours borrowed from nature

The four main colours are white, dark bluish grey, blue and dark orange. That suits a mixed group of wild animals, where some look grey and white while others are warm orange or strikingly blue. With only 28 different part types the choice is small, and that is a good thing for younger children: fewer shapes mean quicker understanding and more time to play. The strong colours also help with recognising animals and sorting by colour.

No minifigures here

There are no minifigures, which is normal for this range. Duplo pieces are much larger than regular bricks and are combined with their own bigger figures and animals. The Wild Animals Set is therefore best for free play, storytelling and exploring together with parents or carers. Collectors of early educational sets from 2007 will find a typical example of the Explore line, one that is now rarely offered complete, so a full parts list is a useful reference.

Parts list and next builds

The parts list on this page covers all 120 pieces and makes it easier to reorder or to check a second-hand set. With the “What can I build?” tool you can see which models are possible from these pieces together with the rest of your Duplo stock. The wild animals quickly turn into a zoo, a safari park or a landscape with a watering hole. Mixing in blocks from other sets gives the animals a bigger home each time you rebuild.
