Description
Words made of bricks
The name gives away the theme: this one is about language. With 140 pieces you can lay out or build letters, names and short words, using material that children enjoy handling anyway. The set therefore links construction play with early reading and writing. Anyone who knows their letters can form their own name, while those still practising get a playful reason to compare and recognise characters. That link between play and learning was the whole aim of the education range.
One colour, many shapes
The main colour is white, which is obvious straight away. With 75 different parts the variety of shapes is unusually high for a set of this size, as almost every second piece is different. This follows from the theme, since each letter needs its own form. The uniform colour does not distract, so shape takes centre stage. For the parts list it means many separate entries with small quantities, which makes the set especially interesting for collectors.
Learning without figures
No minifigures are part of the set; it is all about the material. That fits Dacta, the education brand from LEGO® for schools and nurseries. Teachers or parents can set tasks such as “build the first word of your name” or “which letters can you find twice?” The result is a calm, focused kind of play in which language can be felt with the hands. It also works with several children, because each builds a word of their own and then everyone compares.
For collectors and tinkerers
A set with 75 different parts is demanding when you check for completeness. On this page you will find the full parts list, so you can compare piece by piece what is missing. If you want to use the white parts for projects of your own, the “What can I build?” tool shows which other models they could become. The unusual shapes in particular make a nice touch for labels, signs and decoration on other models.
