Great Set for Younger Children*
I ordered the Lego Friends Farm Animal Sanctuary for my Lego obsessed daughter. The set comes in a medium sized box with the lego separated in numbered bags with the usual detailed instructions manual.
This Lego set is designed for kids aged 6+, however my youngest daughter is 5 and was able to enjoy building and playing with this set alongside my help and supervision.
This is a very detailed Lego set with lots of little accessories and comes with 3 x figures as well as little animals for the animal sanctuary.
I found this set to have a lot more to play with compared to some other lego sets, it’s great for younger children. Using their imagination kids can look after the animals, play on the tractor, and much more. This set gives plenty for the imagination and can give hours of fun & playtime.
Overall I found this Lego set more simpler to build than others we have built together however younger children will still need lots of help from their parents in building as there are a few parts that were a little tricky for kids. My daughter loves this Lego set especially since she loves animals. I also love that they designed it as an animal sanctuary to teach kids about caring and looking after animals. Fab set and it’s currently on sale!
fantastic Lego farm playse
I am always on the lookout for activities to do with my toddler as I’m trying to reduce her screen time. It’s always nostalgic for me when playing with Lego, as this was all I used to do as a child too.
The detail on each figure was incredible. My toddler loves all things animals and is very much into role playing so this Lego set was a must! It was fun and educational teaching her how to take care of the small animals (brushing and cleaning up plastic poo)
I did build most of the set myself, but watching her play and getting involved in role play was definitely an activity we both love.
This set is definitely worth the current price 49.99
Brillia
My 5 year old loved this, admittedly I did most of it but she was so happy and loved building it together, it had all the pieces and a very easy to read instruction book, each part was in labelled bags and came securely in a box.
Lovely set for construction and play
The world of Lego is vast and varied – from Superhero sets and toys that seem to encourage rather boisterous or even violent play, to sets like this, which as the “Lego Friends” branding suggests, are more about cooperation and social harmony. In this set, three (varied gender, varied ethnicity) friends are running a sanctuary that also, it seems, grows vegetables. What could be more peaceful? Playing with the set has sparked conversations already about why animals end up needing shelter and the differences between wild, farm, and pet animals.
The set itself is very comprehensive with nearly a thousand (mostly quite small) pieces. There are several sessions’ worth of play just in putting the main elements together, before you start to act out scenarios and stories with the little dolls. The sense of scale is not quite accurate in the real world but this leads to interesting conversations about why the carrots are too big or how old the littlest of the dolls is in relation to the taller ones – all useful for developing thinking about how the world works and why it is ok that sometimes simulation or art doesn’t follow the literal reality.
The smaller pieces in this set are great for little fingers and, as you would expect with Lego, everything fits together and works as intended. Wheels on the tractor are a little stiff to start but I think they are easing up with use. Given that this set very much makes a specific thing, you will want to keep these pieces bagged up separately from a general Lego collection.
One criticism of these types of set is that they really only make one thing – you can’t really change the shape of the main building, for example, and the dolls are who they are (though apparently some of the features such as wigs may be interchangeable with other Friends figures). That is certainly true of this set, but I think there is enough richness and variety to say that it does inspire creative and imaginative play. The price is quite high, which I recognise is on par for Lego now but given that this is an ideal gift for a younger child – 6 to 9 years old in my view — it is a lot of money for one toy.
Playset with Tracto
I bought the LEGO Friends Farm Animal Sanctuary for my daughter, and she’s over the moon with it! She loves the new characters, especially the little Ben Minifig. The instructions were easy to follow, and she built it all by herself. The set is packed with fun details, like a poop function for the animals, a jam factory, and even a retail booth. It’s great for imaginative play, and she’s been adding more animals from other sets. Overall, a fantastic addition to the LEGO Friends range!
Brilliant Lego, as always
Another brilliant set from Lego. My 8-year-old spent a couple of very happy after-school hours building this set (he does Lego a lot, so is well used to the way it works, even if we did have the usual “Mum, I can’t findoh there it is!” a few times!).
It’s all easy to put together, the instructions are nice and clear and the end result is great – you can either play with it or dismantle it and put it together again!
I know Lego seems expensive, but it keeps him busy for ages and it’s such great quality stuff. Highly recommended!
Amazing and plenty of fun for children.
Got this for my child and they love this Lego Friends Farm Sanctuary set! It’s great fun to build and play with. With 489 pieces, it’s a good size for a fun project without being overwhelming. The set comes with plenty of adorable figurines, adding to the interactive experience.
Sure, the price might seem a bit steep at 49.99 for what you get in terms of pieces, but for a play set it’s worth the enjoyment it brings. Plus, it fits seamlessly with other Lego Friends sets, making it a great addition to any collection.
Overall, I highly recommend this set for anyone who enjoys Lego and imaginative play. Personally, I prefer more complex Lego sets, but this is a brilliant set for children and adults alike.
Fun build with plenty to play with once complete
Item: LEGO Friends Farm Animal Sanctuary
Current price: 49.99
This Lego Friends set contains all new characters which my 9 year old was very excited about, particularly the teeny Ben Minifig.
My 9 year old was able to follow the clear instructions to complete the build independently, and once finished, there are plenty of details and features which make this more than just a building set, but a play set as well.
There is a cow, a goat and some chickens and chicks to take care of, each housed in their own stable, and the chickens have a coop inside theirs. The cow and goat can ‘poop’ with the Lego Dot poop, and the characters can clean it up with the shovel and broom. The animals can be groomed with the brush, and fed with the bottle, and there is a windmill ‘powered’ jam factory where empty jars opn one side can be pushed through a slot revealing full jars on the other side.
A retail booth allows customers to come and buy farm produce, and a sleeping area above the stables gives the characters a place to sleep.
My kid has had great fun playing with this farm set, and has enjoyed adding to the farm setup with animals and parts from other sets.
A really well thought out, fun addition to the Lego Friends range.
Lovely Friends farm se
This Friends farm Animal Sanctuary Set has the usual lego quality and long lasting durable pieces. As expected with Lego brand, quality was amazing.
It comes with 3 characters to play with, especially for children with experience/interest in horses. My 7 year old was able to follow the instructions and build it completely independently so that kept her occupied for a quite while.
This set includes some amazing accessories to play with, It’s great for both building and playing. Very interesting and most importantly modern.
Overall this is a fantastic lego set with easy to follow instruction manual. Well labelled assembly bags and very sturdy product. Definitely recommend.
Lovely se
This has got to be one of my favourite Lego sets for children. Is this mixture between Duplo and real Lego made of real Lego but designed for children and is easy to put together. Looks good. Many parts. Instruction manual is easy to read. There’s not much more you can ask for.
Great Farm Set addition to the Friends Lego sets
Got this for my granddaughter and she loves it. Very easy for them to use, and has full instructions. Keeps her occupied for hours playing.
The pieces are all well made – well it’s Lego, so no worries there – with plenty attention to detail in this farm set. If you have young children or grandkids then this will aid their creativity and keep them absorbed for hours.
A great toy that is easy to build and play with
PACKAGING
Arrives in an official Lego branded box, that is colourful and depicts the contents of the box.
USING
There are several instructions to build the set, all illustrated and easy to follow. Some of the pieces are mixed in the various bags, so finding the relevant pieces can be a little tricky but it’s definitely manageable. There are stickers to complete some of the pieces and it all comes together beautifully to make a very enjoyable toy with characters, animals and a tractor, it is a very fun and interactive to play with.
PRICE
49.99 at time of review
Lego is known for it’s quality and creativeness when it comes to Lego scenes to play with and this is no exception. It is a sociable toy to play and helps with hand-eye coordination and following instructions. I highly recommend.
Lego Friends – Blooming Meadows Animal Sanctuary
The Lego Friends Farm Animal Sanctuary Playset Tractor Toy is absolutely adored by my daughter. Bright colors and cute farm animals attracted her attention at once. The set supports STEM learning and provides an engaging play experience with the tractor. The instructions were clear, but some of the smaller pieces needed an adult to assist during assembly. There is a remarkable level of detail in the farm animals and accessories. At the end of it all, a great Lego set that is fun both to play and build with. My only issue with this toy is the minor construction issues, but it’s still an excellent gift for girls who love to build and tell stories ages 6+

Overall, another brilliant addition to the LEGO Friends series, making it a worthwhile investment for parents seeking quality toys for their children.
New release for January 2024 which includes 3 unique figures
I ordered this in advance for my Niece’s next birthday as she is a massive fan of LEGO Friends.
She has quite a large collection of kits so I’m always keeping my eye out for new ones that I know she hasn’t got, especially when I can bag a bargain.
This is kit number 42617 Farm Animal Sanctuary which is a new release for January 2024 so has the revamped 2023 logo & predominantly teal & purple box colours rather than the previous pink. It is essentially a barn with animals & farming equipment including a windmill & tractor, & has 3 unique figures included – Ben, Aliya & Kaya.
There are 489 pieces & a 92 page instruction booklet included & the set retails at around the 50 mark which is typical for this size of set from LEGO.
This is another excellent role play set from LEGO to with a nod towards animal care, growing your own food & sustainability. There are plenty of little accessories to play with, animals to care for, vegetables to harvest, jam to sell & a tractor to drive round in.
