The Best LEGO Sets for Kids in 2025

LEGO's appeal transcends age, a far cry from its earlier days as a strictly children's toy. While Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs) have always existed, sets specifically designed for adults are a relatively new phenomenon. This broadened audience can be confusing for parents shopping for their children. Previously, the age range on the box directly correlated with building complexity; higher age meant a more challenging build. Now, the 18+ designation can mean anything from a simple build to a set themed for adult interests, or even a display piece rather than a toy. Many adult sets aren't durable enough for rough play, while many children's sets prioritize playability and accessibility over perfect realism.
