LEGOHeart Ornament Toy - Kids' Arts & Crafts Kit incl. a Display Model with Flowers, Leaves & Smaller Hearts - Birthday Gift for 9+ Year Old Girls & Boys - 40638

I am excited to write this review of my first Lego project as an adult.I haven’t played with Lego since I was at school. Now I’m in my 40s I thought it would be fun to have a go at building one of kits with the intention of giving the final project as a gift.I would say that this is entirely suitable for children, age 10+ to create independently.Younger children may require assistance.This project took me 4 hours to complete over 2 separate days.The basic structure comprise of red and white bricks, and the instructions were easy and fun to follow.Decorating the heart was the most time-consuming, having spent 3/4 of the entire, make simply by decorating the heart.There is a wide variety of pieces and colours to choose from. There are several suggested designs on the heart and of course because it’s Lego and it’s your creation you can add your own take on things. I was unable to follow all the instructions as some of the arrows were missing towards the end, I would say that the instructions are approximately 90% easy to follow.If you would like to give this as a gift that is long-lasting, I would suggest that you may wish to glue the pieces together.This would, of course add to your production time by a considerable amount, but would give a complete and everlasting structure.Unfortunately, the finished item is far too big for the original box, which is disappointing if you wish to use it as a gift or store it in its completed form.Advice: I would suggest to anyone who has children to use something like muffin, tins or an ice cube tray to separate the pieces before you start.This is a fun activity in itself and makes starting the project so much easier.Left overs: there is a considerable amount left over after completing this. I bought two sets, so just mixed the remainder with the other set.Completing this a second time was a lot quicker and easier.Adults may struggle to pick up the tiny flowers which seem to be made for smaller fingers.Although this is a wall hanging, you would almost certainly require an adult to hang it as it is a very delicate structure and flowers can break off too easily.Manufactures improvements: I would recommend that the size of the box is increased to accommodate the finished structure. The box could be narrower and taller. Some revision of the instructions to include additional arrows, especially towards the end of the project where it can be difficult to see where remaining flowers need to be placed amongst a very busy picture.I’d also add a well done motivational message, and what would your next project be? Question With some examples of further Lego items.Value for money: I would say this item represents fair value for money at around £10 - £15.Recommendation: I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this product. It’s a fun activity to do with very pleasing results. Children aged 10+ could complete with little to no adult support. Adults of any age would enjoy this.Many thanks for reading. I do hope that was helpful.

Lovely clear instructions as always and enough fiddly bits to keep one occupied for a while. Lovely outcome and looks the part. Worth the cost definitely. A lovely Valentine gift and a nice change from overpriced forced roses!!!

Purchased this item for my friend's daughters birthday. This was the first time I had seen lego this way where it can be used as a decoration which I think is a fab idea! My daughter friend loves it as she has now hung it in her new room. The lego set was easy to create with the instructions and the string is sturdy when hung. Perfect gift especially with Xmas round the corner. Age appropriate also.

Absolutely gorgeous. Really good size and great idea. Got it as part of my Neices birthday present.

Bought for daughter for Xmas from the animals in the house, ha ha. She loved it, easy to follow instructions good quality pieces, nice Suze and worth the money, now takes pride of place hanging on her bedroom wall.

I picked up the LEGO Heart Ornament Set as a fun holiday project, and I’ve got to say, it’s a really cute and satisfying build. It's a perfect addition to my holiday decorations, but there are a couple of things to consider before buying. Here’s my breakdown after building it:Pros:Fun Build: This set is a joy to put together, especially if you love LEGO and enjoy small, detailed builds. It’s not too difficult, so it’s perfect for both kids and adults, and the process is relaxing and rewarding.Great for Holiday Decor: The heart shape is super festive, making it a great ornament for the Christmas tree or as a holiday gift. It really adds a personal touch to your decorations, and the vibrant red and white colors make it stand out.Good Quality Pieces: As with all LEGO sets, the pieces are high quality, fit together well, and stay sturdy once assembled. You can feel the durability in each brick, which is one of the things I love about LEGO products.Nice Size for Display: Once built, it’s a good size to hang on the tree or use as part of a decoration display. It doesn’t take up too much space, so it fits well with other ornaments, but it still makes a noticeable statement.Cons:Small Pieces and Easy to Lose: Some of the pieces are quite small, and if you're not careful, they could easily get lost, especially if you're building with kids. It’s not a dealbreaker, but definitely something to keep in mind if you have little ones around.Not the Most Challenging Build: For seasoned LEGO builders, this set might feel a little too easy or quick to put together. It’s a fun build, but it may not offer the level of challenge that some LEGO fans are looking for in a set.Limited Versatility: While it’s perfect as a holiday ornament, it doesn’t have much versatility beyond that. You can’t really use it for other decorations or projects once the holidays are over, so it might feel like a one-time use for some people.Overall: The LEGO Heart Ornament Set is a delightful, festive build that’s perfect for holiday decorations or a fun project with kids. The quality of the pieces is great, and the final product looks beautiful as an ornament. If you’re looking for a challenging LEGO set, this might not be it, but if you’re in it for a quick and enjoyable build with a nice result, it’s definitely worth it.

Great gift; they loved it, and it was super easy to build and looks great.

Purchased for 12 year old Granddaughter. She love it and completed it very quickly. Lovely Lego!
