Here’s a sweet gift idea that lets kids create their own friendship stories. The LEGO Friends Heartlake City Café toy for 6-plus-year-old girls and boys (42618) features a patisserie-style café toy and comes with 3 LEGO Friends mini-dolls and a dog figure. There’s also a host of café-themed accessories in the building set to fuel imaginative play for kids.

This learning toy is great for imaginative play. It tells the story of LEGO Friends characters Paisley and Olly as they visit their favourite café in Heartlake City. Beatriz sorts macarons and bakes cakes in the kitchen, where there’s a toy oven and coffee machine. Then she helps the friends choose treats to enjoy outside before packing macarons into the box, ready to make deliveries on her scooter. This set comes with the LEGO Builder app for intuitive building. Here kids can zoom in and rotate models in 3D, save sets and track progress.
