LEGO® Farm Animals

Description

For learning and play

This set comes from the educational range and is meant for small children who play with large bricks. Farm animals are a classic subject for this age group, because animals are familiar and children can learn sounds, names and colours as they play. The 52 pieces are large and easy to grip, and there are no minifigures, only animals and bricks that snap together easily. Parents and nursery staff often use sets like this in a group, since they keep several children busy at once.

Bright colours for small hands

White, bright green, blue and dark orange are the main colours. They are strong and easy to tell apart, which matters for toddlers who are only just learning to match colours. The green recalls a meadow, the blue can stand for water or fence parts, and the orange gives the animals some warmth. Because the shades are clearly separated, sorting games are easy to invent during play: all the green pieces in one pile, all the white ones in another, and so on.

A farm from 18 types

The 52 pieces are divided into 18 different types, a good mix for a Duplo set. There is enough variety that the farm does not look the same every time, but not so many shapes that small children lose track. The set was released in 2007 and also works as an addition to other Duplo stock. If you already own bricks in similar colours, you can easily enlarge the farm with more animals, fences or a stable of your own, and the pieces stay compatible with later sets.

Parts list and ideas

The parts list on this page names all 18 types with quantity and colour, so you can check whether everything is still there after years of play. If the parts are in your stock, the “What can I build?” tool shows other models you could make from them. With large bricks that is well worth doing, as children often enjoy inventing their own stables, vehicles or towers and weaving the animals into ever new stories along the way.
