It's been a really long year indeed but it is finally the festive season. For parents, this also means it's time to start buying Christmas presents for the kids.
This magical holiday is made even more special when you can spend time as a family bonding. One of our favourite ways of bonding as a family is to play with LEGO® sets!
So here's a roundup of LEGO® sets to get this Christmas that can be fun for the whole family:
1. LEGO® Elf Club House
The LEGO Elf Club House includes all the trappings of a wonderful Christmas, including a waffle machine to re-fuel the elves after a long day of toy making! There is even a brick-built repositionable chimney and even a ‘sleighport’ to park the elf’s sleigh in, ready to load up with presents for adults and children.
Don't forget to put up the LEGO® Elf Clubhouse Christmas Tree, which is brimming with colourful baubles. Building this set with the family won't just be for fun, it will also make a beautiful centrepiece for your home decorations.
Measuring 22cm high and 13cm deep, this set even comes with a light brick to illuminate the festive scene!
2. LEGO® Harry Potter™ Advent Calendar
Advent calendars are always fun, counting down the days to Christmas! It's made even more magical when it's Harry Potter themed! There are 24 doors in this set, to mark each day in December counting down to Christmas.
The calendar also contains minifigures – including Harry Potter, Hermione Granger™, Ron Weasley™, Padma Patil, Parvati Patil and Cho Chang – as well as buildable models such as a miniature Beauxbaton’s carriage and a dining table with ice-castle centerpiece.
3. LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar
This features 6 LEGO minifigures and 6 LEGO figures such as Darth Vader with Christmas sweater decoration and Tauntaun with a red nose. 12 mini build toys, including Anakin’s Podracer, a Republic Cruiser and Darth Vader’s Castle
3. LEGO® Adventures with Mario Starter Course
During this festive season, Adventures with Mario Starter Course will be available at a 20% discount at all retailers. The Starter Course is key to unlocking the entire gameplay, being the only set to feature the interactive LEGO Mario figure that collects coins in game levels created with LEGO bricks. LEGO Super Mario brings new interactivity and gameplay to the traditional LEGO brick experience, while reinventing the way people interact with Super Mario in the physical world.
4. LEGO® DUPLO Modular Playhouse
Toddlers will love the LEGO® DUPLO Modular Playhouse which teaches them about everyday life such as cooking, mealtime and bedtime routines. The 3-in-1 dollhouse playset can also be rebuilt and transformed into a tower house or a residential house.
5. LEGO® Disney Belle’s Castle Winter Celebration
Send your kids on a magical journey as they join Belle and the Beast in the colourful castle with multiple rooms and buildable accessories.
6. LEGO® City Police Station
If your kids love real-life superheroes (thank you, frontliners!), then they will love playing with this set LEGO light-brick searchlights and cool police vehicles with roof lights and siren for realistic car chases (or in our case, police blocks!).
7. LEGO® Friends Summer Fun Water Park
We may not be able to go out to the water parks right now, but there is no reason why we cannot bring the water parks home to our kids. Comprising cool water slides and a cute Unicorn float as well as an ice-cream truck, this set will keep the kids entertained for hours as we patiently wait for the day we can hit those water parks again.
8. LEGO® Ninjago Empire Temple of Madness
Arm your kids with the tools to fight alongside their ninja heroes against forces of evil, a sure favourite among older boys who love the Ninjago series.
9. LEGO® Monkie Kid Monkey King Warrior Mech
Finally, complete your Monkie Kid collection this set, with a Golden Staff, and character minifigures atop the Cloud and Flower Fruit Mountain builds to defeat Bull Clones at Pigsy’s noodle shop.
It's a really fun time of the year because these toys that we buy for our children also prove to have a lot of entertainment value to us adults!
He is itching to open his Christmas present already. Perhaps next year we will have to wrap it up a little more discreetly. Happy holidays and happy shopping, parents!
