LEGO 41398 Friends 4+ Stephanie's House Dollhouse Play Set with Family Figures, Toys for Preschool Kids, LEGO Friends

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to rebel against pink and purple legos, but not anymore. This set is so sweet. I built it with my 4 year old daughter and it was a great way to get her to follow instructions, be creative, and use her building skills. She did require help, as some of the pieces are very small. I actually ended up building the whole thing with her finding pieces for me and then helping to push them into place when I got them aligned. It came with three numbered bags, and each numbered bag had a smaller piece bag inside. The instructions were really nice because it built the entire house and swing in three separate sections. The first bag builds the bottom level of the house, the second builds the swing, and the third bag builds the top level. All have fun little details like eggs in a frying pan, letter in the mailbox, hockey stick, etc. I won't ruin all the surprises, because that's part of the fun. While I did get this for my daughter, my 7 year old son likes it too. They ran downstairs after building it the night before and grabbed it first thing to play together. I think I'll definitely give the Lego Friends sets as gifts more often now, because this was so cute and really fun to do.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very cute house. The swing on the front porch is a nice touch as is the swing-around staircase. It has a swivel chair in the office. How cute. The rooms are small, especially the kitchen for adult hands but a small child would most likely have an easier time playing. The colors are bright and cheery. It was easy to assemble and the Lego instruction books are the best instruction booklets I have ever seen for a product. I am an adult senior enjoying putting these sets together. My one thought is, if one is going to purchase multiple Lego theme sets, invest in a table or shelf to put the sets on so children won't have to take them apart and then have to rebuild every time they play With them.
