My girls and I were recently sent the Lego Friends Downtown Bakery set to have a play with.....It came at the ideal time.....Ellie had been sent home from school after vomiting all over her classroom.....
When it arrived Ellie was asleep so I left it in front of her on the table so it would be the first thing she saw when she woke up....
Please excuse the PJ's and mess in the background I was in the middle of the housework when she woke up!
She was rather excited to see it and forgot all about being poorly! Lego makes everything better!!
Have some great construction fun with the Lego Friends Downtown Bakery! Bake a custom cake at the Downtown Bakery with Mia! Open the sweet little shop by building the sign, canopy and outdoor display. Fill the shelves with cakes, bread, cookies and croissant accessories! When a customer arrives to order a wild-berry birthday cake, get creative in the kitchen with lots of food and utensils. Set the mixture into a pan and place it in the oven until it’s baked to perfection! Decorate it with fruit and ring up the order on the cash register.
Ellie dived straight on in and got with building....The instructions are very detailed and easy to follow....Ellie is 6 and a half and had no problems at all....

This set encourages positive roleplay and creativity....
It's priced well...£25.99

The mini dolls are very
cute....You get Mia in a bakery uniform and Danielle, basically a blonde
Olivia in a cute purple outfit & a bow.
The Mini Dolls are a little bit taller than the regular Lego Mini figures. However the building is constructed using the standard-scale Lego doors and windows, making the set compatible with the other lines....
This is more than just a Lego building set...Once put together it is a great toy to play with again and again...

What we didn't like....
Ellie loved everything about it but I felt there was a lot of very small parts.....I can see quite a few pieces being lost over time....
That's it....There are no other bad points....If you are looking for a good introduction to Lego to a girl who maybe isn't so keen on construction sets then this is an ideal choice....
I was sent the Lego Friends Downtown Bakery free of charge to try...This is my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own...
