My family are definitely Lego enthusiasts! I would go so far as to say that I’m a bit of a Lego widow!

I don’t really mind as I think Lego is such an incredible toy for children. It builds fine motor skills, develops their imaginations.

It teaches perseverance and sets from the Lego City range create awareness and respect of role models such as the Fire Service, Police Force and other rescue servicemen.

If you want to recommend a toy to relatives that you know will last, will be adored and is really an investment. This is it!

So where can you find the best deals and a great range of Lego sets if you can’t get to a store?

I’ve gathered together a selection I think both your children and the adults will love to build together!

1. Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Train

The fact that Lego have created a Harry Potter set is just amazing for me. My children are too little for Harry Potter but I’m already showing them this to try and get them interested! I really enjoyed the books so it would be great if they loved it too.

This set also includes Minifigures such as: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Remus Lupin. The Trolley Witch, plus Dementor and Scabbers figures.

2. Lego Duplo: My First Puzzle Pets

If your children are under 3 Duplo is a great starting place. You can also buy small sets and build up as they increase their ability. We bought a Lego base as well that they could press the block onto which helped them keep everything together.

These sweet first pieces of Lego will really fire up their interest in creating something with their own hands.

3. Lego City Arctic Exploration Team

Perfect for Winter, Lego Arctic is a relatively new series with fantastic snowy scenes.

The pieces are a mix of snow mobiles, Husky Dogs, diggers, Ice blocks complete with saws! And of course snowshoes! They’ve thought of everything! Can you tell I’m a fan of this one!
