How many animal figures are included in this set?

What are the primary educational benefits of playing with this set?

Can my child build all three 3in1 models (savannah, beach, forest) at the same time?

How should I clean the LEGO DUPLO bricks?
LEGO DUPLO bricks can be hand washed using lukewarm water (up to 104°F or 40°C) and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid dishwashers or washing machines.
Are there instructions included for the different build options?
Yes, the set comes with building instructions that provide guidance for creating the three distinct 3in1 models (savannah, beach, and forest), along with ideas to inspire open-ended play.
Troubleshooting
A specific piece or animal figure appears to be missing from the set.
First, carefully check all packaging materials, including the box and any plastic bags, as small pieces can sometimes be overlooked. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact LEGO Customer Service directly. They can assist with replacement parts.
Toddler is struggling to connect or disconnect the DUPLO bricks.
Ensure the bricks are aligned correctly before applying pressure. Encourage the toddler to use both hands to push or pull firmly and evenly. Sometimes, a gentle twist can help disconnect stubborn bricks. Adult supervision and demonstration can also assist younger children in mastering the technique.
Child seems to be losing interest in the set or only plays with the animals.
Introduce new play scenarios or challenges. Suggest building a 'home' for each animal, or create a simple story together that requires building different environments. Combine the set with other LEGO DUPLO sets to offer more possibilities and variety, sparking renewed interest in construction and imaginative play.

Care
Keeping your LEGO DUPLO bricks clean ensures a hygienic and enjoyable play experience. Follow these simple steps:
- Hand Wash: Use lukewarm water (not exceeding 104°F or 40°C) and a mild detergent or baby shampoo. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents.
- Gentle Scrub: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the bricks, especially if they have dirt or grime.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the bricks well under clean water to remove all soap residue.
- Air Dry: Place the bricks on a towel or a drying rack in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat. Ensure they are completely dry before storing them to prevent mold or mildew.
- Avoid Dishwashers/Washing Machines: Do not wash DUPLO bricks in a dishwasher or washing machine, as the high temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the plastic.
