Description

Learning with bricks

The Educational and Dacta line was aimed at schools and other educational settings. Community Workers belongs to its Town branch and supplies material for scenes from everyday community life. It is meant for storytelling and role play: who works in a town, and what do they need to get the job done? With 246 pieces the scale suits small groups taking part together. For collectors it is a piece from a lesser-known corner of the catalogue, which makes it an interesting find.

Light colours with contrast

White, black, yellow and dark bluish grey shape the picture. With white as the main colour the material looks friendly and clean, black and dark grey add contrast, and yellow supplies the accents. The palette suits buildings, vehicles and fittings in a town setting. If you are building your own city from bricks, the parts blend in easily, because the tones mix well with other Town sets and nothing jars in the overall design.

111 shapes from 246 pieces

The most striking thing about this set is the variety: 111 different part shapes are spread across only 246 pieces. That means many elements appear just once or twice. For tinkerers this is an advantage, since it creates a small stock of unusual bricks that normally sit inside much larger sets. The parts list on this page shows exactly which elements are in the box. According to the catalogue, no minifigure is included.

Reuse and rebuild

Because the selection is so broad, the set works as a supplement for collections that lack individual specialist parts. With the “What can I build?” tool you can see which models become possible when your existing bricks are added. It can also serve for small scenes in a classroom or playroom, since the range of parts is varied enough to suggest different buildings and vehicles without prescribing one fixed model.
