The Best LEGO Sets for Kids in 2025

LEGO's appeal transcends age, but choosing the right set for a child can be tricky. While age recommendations exist, they don't always indicate complexity. An "18+" set might be simple, thematically adult, or purely for display, unlike kid-focused sets prioritizing playability and accessibility over realism.
