LEGO Friends magazine is a new monthly title that hit the shops last week aimed for girls around the 7-11 age range. Each magazine features a free LEGO gift, the first one being Charlie the puppy dog set.

The first issue has introductions to some of the LEGO Friends girls such as Olivia, Emma and Mia, giving you little bios about each of them. There are also several comic strip stories, posters, quizs, puzzles and some fabulous LEGO sets to be won in competitions. There is a also a nice craft activity included to make tissue flowers.

My daughter Miss M is 6 and became a fan of LEGO friends at Christmas when she received a few sets and then some more on her birthday. I’d say this is the perfect magazine for her, lots of fun things to do and is totally aimed for someone of her age.

She is a competent reader for her age and happily sat reading through the comic strip stories. She couldn’t wait to get the LEGO pieces off of the front and put them to together, which she did completely unaided. These are cute pieces that easily go alongside any other LEGO that you have. In fact she is incredibly excited about the free gift on the next issue, a cute beach set with a LEGO bucket and flippers for the LEGO friends to wear on their feet!

For me, this is the perfect magazine for my daughter, the content is just right for her and I don’t have to worry about what she might be reading. She’s enjoys sitting reading it in bed before sleeping, played with the LEGO during the day and doing the puzzles during the day.

When I asked what she thought about the magazine, her reply was “I love it!”, and I have to agree, this is just the sort of magazine I’d buy for her with a lovely quality toy attached.

The first issue is in the shops now, so why not grab a copy?

All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and the magazine was sent to us in order to write the review.

Lego Friends Olivia’s Rainbow activity book from The Works is excellent value at £2.99 and comes with a small Lego kit to make to add to your collection. My daughter Miss M who is 6yrs old has become interested in Lego over the last year and already has a collection of Lego Friends sets. She was thrilled to see this book and couldn’t wait to get the little cat out and build it’s bed and milk bowl.

The book is a lovely quality for an activity style book with 32 full colour pages with a multitude of activities inside. The contents have really been thought about and I’m really impressed at all the things there are to do. There is quite a long story called Olivia’s Rainbow which is great for slighter older children to read along with facts about characters in Heartlake City. There’s many puzzles such as spot the difference, sudoku and quizs along with some more unusual activities such as a simple experiment with water and a mirror to make a rainbow, mixing paints to make different colours and a song to add words to and make into a tune.

Miss M has really enjoyed this book, it has given her plenty to do and a story she can read again and again. The little Lego cat fits perfectly in with her other Lego Friend’s sets and has added to her creativity in playing with Lego. I think this is a lovely book for a young Lego fan and the activities are fun and a bit different from others you usually see.
