LEGO is delighted to announce the launch of LEGO Juniors, its brand new property designed to bridge the gap between DUPLO and LEGO. Tailor made for young builders between the ages of 4 and 7, LEGO Juniors provides the perfect introduction to the world of LEGO building.
The simple to build models use the LEGO System bricks alongside larger elements and numbered pre-packed bags containing bricks for the various model parts so your child can keep track of and find the bricks when building, but can also create stages of play – e.g, let your child build one bag before lunch and one after.
The easy to follow and colourful instructions will not only help children build the different model elements, they also provide inspiration for play scenarios that you can develop together.
There are currently 13 playsets in the range that draw on everyday scenes, with models including diggers, police stations and a pony farm as well as imaginary ones such as superheroes and princesses and we were sent the Digger set to try.
Isaac loved being able to build the set himself. Normally Kian takes over he has help from his big brother, but he was able to build this all by himself – something he was immensely proud of. Plus it goes in a rather cool box!
Digger (RRP: £9.99) – When the water pipe bursts, it’s a job for the Digger and its busy driver. Use the bucket to dig down and the crane to lower the pipe into position. Packed with cool details like water pipes, valves, a moving bucket and crane, shovel and of course the digger and the driver.
The set can be built, taken apart and re-built just like other LEGO models. Isaac is now earning stickers on his sticker chart for the Spider-Car Pursuit model!
