Introduce toddlers to a fun building set that packs in double the fun! Bluey’s Family House with Memory Game (10459) interactive toy delivers 2 fun activities in one colorful construction set. This interactive toy is filled with lots of ways to play. Preschoolers aged 3 and up can simply use this adventure toy for pretend play, recreating family activities from the show with the 3 figures – Bluey, Bingo and Bluey’s mum, Chilli – and recognizable role-play toy accessories from the Bluey TV show. Or they can play fun memory games with their families. Parents hide bricks and Bluey figures behind the windows of the house, then toddlers spin the wheel to discover which pieces they need to find. They use their fine motor skills to open the toy windows and deploy their comparing, matching and communication skills to work out if they’ve found a match. Then they use their memory skills to remember where other items are hiding so they can return to them to make a match.
The packaging captures the cheerful, family-play theme of Bluey’s house and its memory game. The front of the box shows the assembled Bluey’s Family House in a bright, playful scene, with the large family home in the center. The house has bright light yellow walls, blue window sections, a white front door, and a warm reddish orange roof, with the windows opened to show the memory game hiding places. Bluey, Bingo, and Chilli are positioned around the house with familiar accessories, including the table, chairs, and the spinner used for the memory game. The background is a soft purple-blue Bluey-themed design that keeps the focus on the colorful model and gives the box a friendly preschool look. On the top left corner, we have the classic LEGO and LEGO DUPLO logos. On the bottom left corner, we have the age recommendation and number of pieces. The Bluey logo is also shown on the top right corner. The left of the box shows additional Bluey-themed artwork and product information, continuing the same colorful branding from the front. The back of the box shows 2 children and 1 adult playing with the completed house, emphasizing that the set can be used both for pretend family play and for the memory game. The house is shown with its opening windows, where figures and bricks can be hidden, while the spinner points to the item that the child needs to find. The back also highlights the learning and play features of the set, including matching, remembering, comparing, opening the windows, and playing together with Bluey, Bingo, and Chilli. On the top left corner, we have the LEGO and LEGO DUPLO logos again, while the rest of the back uses a bright layout. The right side of the box contains additional product and safety information. The top of the box shows a picture of the included characters, with a 1:1 scale image of one the Bingo figure. The bottom of the box contains the usual multilingual warning, barcode, licensing, and manufacturing information.
