Description
About this set
Growing Carrot is an 11-piece LEGO DUPLO set that shows little ones how plants grow. Toddlers stack carrot slice bricks, finished off with a leafy top, to make the carrot taller in its plant pot. Sun and rain cloud pieces let them pick the weather, and a watering can gives the carrot a drink. The carrot even has a surprised face.
It’s designed for toddlers from 18 months up and is a gentle first set for practicing stacking. It also opens up easy conversations about food and gardening. The set is retired, so sealed copies are getting harder to find as time passes.
Highlights
- Four stackable carrot slice bricks with a leafy top
- Plant pot and watering can
- Sun and rain cloud pieces for weather play
