Top 2025 LEGO Sets for Kids

LEGO's appeal transcends age, but its evolution from a purely children's toy to a hobby enjoyed by all ages has created some confusion for parents shopping for their kids. Previously, the age range on a LEGO box clearly indicated building complexity. Now, the 18+ designation can mean a simple build, a set themed for adult interests, or a display piece rather than a toy. Many adult-oriented sets aren't built to withstand the robust play of a young child, while many children's sets prioritize playability and accessibility over perfect realism.

To help navigate this, here's our selection of the best LEGO sets for kids in 2025—sets designed for imaginative play:
