7 New LEGO® Sets That’ll Make Staying Home Way More Fun This Winter

7 New LEGO® Sets That’ll Make Staying Home Way More Fun This Winter

 

Whilst the idea of bunkering down at home during the cold weather may sound lovely at first, the reality is that when you have children (of any age) being confined to the same four walls, for any period of time, can start to get tiresome, really quickly! There’s only so many hours you can snuggle up on the sofa watching movie’s together, especially when it usually takes almost an hour to find something that everyone agrees on watching! And whilst devices can be a great distraction from boredom, they can also be huge time-suckers and most of us would like to see our children spend less time on them rather than more. In my experience, there is always one activity that I can suggest that is met with resounding enthusiasm by everyone(and I’m talking about the adults too), and that’s all sitting around on the floor around the bucket of LEGO® bricks for a ‘build-off’ challenge!

If you and your family are looking to expand your current collection of LEGO® sets, we’ve discovered some new ones that will make staying home this winter much more fun, for the whole family.

Cargo Train $179.99

Age group: 2-5 years

The LEGO® DUPLO® Cargo Train is now even easier for your toddler to control and interact with in multiple ways. Young children can become the train driver with the Push & Go motor — a gentle push either forwards or backwards sends the train on its way and a firm hold or lift off the tracks will make it stop. Help them place the 5 coloured action bricks along the track to sound the horn, turn the lights on and off, pause and refuel, change direction and stop the train wherever they like. With a harbour, boat, café, loading station, 2 cranes, 3 DUPLO figures plus an animal figure and lots of cool track pieces included in this LEGO DUPLO set, preschoolers can enjoy classic, fun train play. Download the optional app to unlock even more play possibilities, including remote-control function and fun activities to complete with your toddler!

Happy Childhood Moments $169.99

Age group: 2+ years

LEGO® DUPLO® Town Happy Childhood Moments (10943) introduces preschoolers to 2 exciting events – Chinese New Year celebrations and the first day at kindergarten. With 2 alternative building designs, this educational toy provides toddlers with endless playful learning opportunities.

Play that prepares children and reassures parents
Parents and children can share precious developmental moments as they explore the set’s 2 alternative arrangements. Kids play out Chinese New Year family traditions – including exchanging their red envelopes and eating dumplings – and practice and prepare for the daily routines of kindergarten. As they role-play these real-life events, kids acquire essential knowledge, build fine motor abilities, improve social skills and develop emotional intelligence – which will benefit them when they experience these events in real life.

Jolene

Jolene enjoys writing, sharing and connecting with other like-minded women online – it also gives her the perfect excuse to ignore Mount-Washmore until it threatens to bury her family in an avalanche of Skylander T-shirts and Frozen Pyjama pants. (No one ever knows where the matching top is!) Likes: Reading, cooking, sketching, dancing (preferably with a Sav Blanc in one hand), social media, and sitting down on a toilet seat that one of her children hasn’t dripped, splashed or sprayed on. Dislikes: Writing pretentious crap about herself in online bio’s and refereeing arguments amongst her offspring.
