Description

Animals for the youngest builders

This set comes from the educational side and belongs to the Duplo range from LEGO®, which is made for small children. The large bricks are easy to grip and press together. Animals are a good theme because children can tell stories and name what they build at the same time. In a nursery or primary school a set like this can therefore serve as material for conversations about habitats and wildlife, without any complicated instructions. Parents will find it easy to build together with a child.

Bright green and orange

Bright green, dark orange, white and reddish brown are the main colours, and they look just as you would expect from the natural world: green for grass and leaves, orange and brown for fur and ground, white as a contrast. The 98 pieces cover 34 different shapes, which is a solid choice for this age group. That gives enough variety without overwhelming children with too many different parts to sort through. That makes starting out easy.

No figures, lots of imagination

There are no minifigures, which fits the concept: the animals themselves are the stars. Children can assemble them following the guide, spread them around the room and use them in stories of their own, perhaps in a zoo or on the savannah. Because the bricks are large, success comes quickly, and the animals survive a lot of play without falling apart at the first touch, which keeps younger children happy and motivated. That matters a great deal for small hands.

Mixing with other bricks

The parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity. The What can I build? tool checks whether the 98 pieces and the rest of your Duplo collection can make further models. Green, orange and brown bricks work well for landscapes, houses and vehicles, so the set remains a sensible addition to an existing collection even once the animals themselves are no longer on display. The colours also match other Duplo sets well.
