Building Toys

From toddler building toys to expert construction kits, we’ve got the right toys for all ages

No matter your age, it’s important to choose the right building kit to suit your skill level. Children tend to pick models that are above their skill level, which often leads to plenty of tears — and a lot of headaches for mum and dad! 

If your child has been building toys from an early age, you can usually get away with a slightly more difficult kit. For example, a 6-year-old who is experienced with building toys might be able to handle a toy for 8 years and above. However, this depends on the complexity of the toy, the amount of parts involved and the construction method.

It’s best to stick to the recommended age range for children who are just getting started with building toys. You can even start them with a slightly easier model if you think they might struggle with age-appropriate kits. Advanced kits tend to have fiddly parts that are difficult for little hands to manage. Plus, the extra time required to construct them can be frustrating and discouraging for young kids.

FAQs about our kid’s building toys

What is Playmobil?

Playmobil has some of the most popular building toys and sets for kids. While LEGO sets are made with individual blocks, Playmobil sets generally include detailed parts that are much easier to assemble. While Playmobil does involve some construction skills, they’re more about creating fun, detailed worlds to play in. 

Are marble runs hard to set up?

It depends on the skill level of your child. Depending on their size, simple marble runs are generally suitable for children 5 and up, but we recommend checking the recommended age on the box before purchasing. Complex marble runs like Gravitrax are suitable for children 8 years and up. 

Are LOZ building kits suitable for young kids? 

LOZ Building Kits are generally suitable for children ages 6 and up, depending on their size and complexity. However, LOZ kits often feature hundreds or thousands of small pieces and can be time-consuming to assemble, making them potentially too complex for young children. 

For example, the LOZ Sweet Duck Lemon Tea Car kit and the LOZ Ancient Street kit are both marketed as suitable for ages 6 and up. However, the Sweet Duck kit only includes 260 pieces, while the LOZ Ancient Street kit features over 2,000 pieces — making it much more complex and time-consuming to build. 

If you’re interested in purchasing a LOZ kit for your child, we recommend choosing a kit with less than 500 pieces to start with, depending on their skill level. 

Do you stock LEGO sets?

Yes! We stock a massive range of LEGO kits for all ages, from beginner models to 1000+ piece sets. While many kids choose LEGO because of its name recognition and easy assembly, some LEGO kits can be too complex and time-consuming for young kids. We recommend sticking to the recommended age range if your child is just starting with LEGO construction kits.
