The LEGO Dacta Duplo theme is a subset of the broader LEGO Dacta (later known as LEGO Education) line, designed specifically for educational settings using Duplo bricks. These sets are tailored for younger children and aim to promote hands-on learning and development of foundational skills. Combining the larger, child-friendly Duplo bricks with the educational focus of Dacta, the theme offers sets that facilitate teaching concepts like basic math, storytelling, and understanding of the physical world in classrooms or other learning environments.
1988 LEGO Sets
In 1988, LEGO continued to expand and solidify its position as a leading toy manufacturer. The year witnessed the continuation of popular themes and the introduction of new ones. One of the notable introductions was the LEGO Pirates theme, which brought a fresh adventure concept to the LEGO world, complete with pirates, soldiers, island settings, and unique elements like the iconic LEGO pirate ship. This theme was groundbreaking as it included new minifigure facial expressions, departing from the classic smiley face to showcase more character-specific emotions. Meanwhile, the company maintained its commitment to educational products, with the DUPLO line catering to younger children and Technic sets offering more intricate building challenges for older fans.
