Being a super-fan of Lego and Christmas, there was never any doubt this new Christmas Tree set would become part of my collection. That said, I bought it with the assumption that it probably wouldn't be the most fun build, but the final design would take centre stage on my mantel piece for years to come. This is mostly down to me favouring modular builds, but also that it was clear the design was very repetitive (think lots of green two-by-fours).
What I hadn’t accounted for was how well this build would lend itself to being a shared experience. My six-year-old son is at the start of his Lego-loving journey, and can often find sets difficult to follow. But the repetitive nature of this set was perfect for building his confidence in following instructions, and developing his fine motor skills. It was also an opportunity for us to share some quality time together, doing something we both really enjoy.
