LEGO Gifts For Kids Who Have a Lot of LEGO!

I just finished our Christmas shopping for the kids! (I know, don’t hate me for it!) There were of course a lot of LEGO sets on the list, and with good reason. Our kids live and breathe LEGO. But what LEGO gifts do you buy kids who already have a lot of LEGO?! 

Here are my favorite sets of the season because of their versatility, creativity and educational value. We, of course have shelves full of the various themed LEGO sets, and those are always on top of the kids’ lists. However, they love it too when we mix things up and “bring the bricks back to basics.”

LEGO Pirate Chess Set

• LEGO has made several different versions of the classic chess set over the years, and they sell out quickly and become hot collector’s items, and understandably so. I bought this set for Jacob this year. He and my mother play chess every time she visits. It is a tradition they both love.

LEGO Creator 3 in 1, Mythical Creatures

LEGO Creator Mighty Dinosaurs 

• LEGO sent us two of the LEGO Creator sets for the kids to play with, and they became instant hits. These sets are very reasonably priced and they include instructions for three different builds.
• Our kids couldn’t decide which creature to build, so they ended up making all three for each set – a day apart. These relatively small sets kept my kids busy for days: building, playing with the creations and then building something new, exactly what you want them to do with LEGO.

LEGO Classic Creative Brick Box

• This is the gift that truly keeps on giving. Not only does it come with basic bricks, wheels and other fun parts. But there is also a great instruction booklet to get the creativity flowing and the box itself is made of durable plastic and is a great LEGO storage container. You cannot go wrong with this box.

LEGO City Straight and Crossroads Baseplates

• I have to include these LEGO City road plates, because I remember them from my own childhood, over 30 years ago. (Yikes – that is the same as several centuries in dog years!)
• These baseplates add versatility to any set, above and beyond its original purpose. I know our truck and construction-loving preschooler will be so excited when he gets these on Christmas morning!

LEGO Technic Power Function Accessory Box

• If there is a future engineer or otherwise a STEM-lover on your shopping list, then this set will cause jumps of joy and lots of smiles! Couple this with most any of the Technic sets, and you have yourself a motorized LEGO set – and a child who will be entertained for hours.
• We have two of these accessory sets, because you just never know when a set needs extra “juice”.

LEGO Education Wheels Set

• This set oozes of creativity and hours of silence from happy and content children. Add in a plywood ramp and your kids are off to the races.
• We went to a birthday party where they had LEGO car building stations and then LEGO car races as the entertainment. Each child got to keep their creation, which was such a great party idea. The kids were occupied, had fun and did not walk out of there with the dreaded “goodie bag” – a birthday party success.

LEGO Brick Backpack

• This backpack is a must-have for LEGO fans of all ages. (I have one that I use for day trips and it’s every bit as awesome as it looks.)
• It’s perfect for school-aged kids. One of the awesome features, it’s made of about 11 recycled water bottles, so you or your child can use it knowing that you did something good for the environment.
• The two front pockets hold keys and other small items, while there’s a side pocket for a water bottle. The inside is roomy and it has a back pocket, perfect for a laptop or other device.

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me

• You have probably seen the fun and funky BrickHeadz created by LEGO, well with this set, kids can customize their own BrickHeadz to look like themselves or someone who inspires them.
• Our son managed to make TWO BrickHeadz with his set by adding a couple of basic bricks we already own.
• This set is fun and sparks creativity for LEGO fans of all ages!

Favorite LEGO Books: 

The following books are our family’s FAVORITE LEGO books. They are full of creative ideas, out of this world inspiration and best of all – they are meant to be used with the bricks the kids already have! These books are perfect for kids who already own a lot of LEGO!

Epic LEGO Adventures With Bricks You Already Have

Awesome LEGO Creations with Bricks You Already Have

Genius LEGO Inventions with Bricks You Already Have

The LEGO Ideas Book

• Our kids LOVE this book. You get 200 pages of LEGO inspiration, building instructions, pictures and best of all: tips from REAL LEGO Master Builders! (Yes, that is actually what the creative geniuses behind the LEGO creations are called!)
• Our kids love to also just look at the pictures and get ideas for their own signature builds.
• This is a really nice hard cover book, making it durable, but also coffee-table worthy.

I hope some of these ideas have given you some tangible and creative gift ideas. There are so many ways to give LEGO that doesn’t involved the theme-specific sets. It is hard to buy LEGO sets of children other than your own, unless you have their specific wishes. However, this list of LEGO gifts will make any LEGO fan happy, and will keep them busy creating for hours upon hours – and that is the object of the gift-giving game!

And remember the golden rule of LEGO: There is no such thing as having “enough” or “too much” LEGO!
