LEGO 41716 Friends Stephanie's Sailing Adventure Toy Boat Set, Collectible Gifts for 7 Plus Year Old Girls and Boys with 3 Mini-Dolls and Accessories

Very good value for money

My granddaughter loved this kit which I bought her for Christmas. She is almost 11 yrs old and it took her a week to make (on and off). She's very proud of her handiwork and it does look good.

Our granddaughter loved it really happy

Six year old grandchild loved it!

We like all types of LEGO in our house and have a few of the LEGO Friends. The sets are slightly different from other with their larger characters, but the premise is the same. This 'Stephanie's Sailing Adventure Toy Boat Set' is one of the most fun in the range as it is great to build and at the end you get an awesome boat that you can play with.The quality is what you would expect from LEGO, and I think it is a good value set as the boat is great for under £30. It fits in with the Friends look, but I think you can have it on its own as the yacht is valid thing to play with by itself. It is nice and sturdy once built and you get characters that you can use to sail it, or even have a sleep in the sleeping compartment.

As a small boy, my parents bought me so many Lego sets. It is frightening to think about how much they spent. The bricks and shapes I could create kept me fascinated for hours. I remember my finest "creation" was built from a box of "Technical" lego and it was a motorised crane. I still have it all in a great big Lego floor bag. Sadly the instructions to build the crane has gone, but it does not stop the next generations from using their imaginations and creativity to build things from innocent-looking bricks. When Vine offers Lego sets I, of course, grab them, but nowadays, I ensure they are not mixed up with the general bag and the boxes and instructions are kept.This set will build a simple Sailboat and Tropical Island with accessories. It also comes with all the bricks you need and very clear instructions. This is a relatively simple set and it should be OK for 7 years and older. Once built, Lego is about imagination and this set will "fire" up the young imagination. It's a nice set and is interactive. I am happy to recommend it.

With walkie-talkie, binoculars, a drone and controller, this is a detailed racing sailboat set with 3 mini dolls - Stephanie, the boat owner, Maxine and Elijah, each of whom of course has their own life jacket.This Lego kit is for children aged 7+ and first the boat, Hope, must be built. There are printed instructions included - but this is 2022 so there's also an easy to sync app for smartphones or tablets. A little help from nearby adults won't go amiss with children at the lower end of the recommended age range.Nice detail as ever with this Lego set - the Hope has a working ship's wheel - plus the usual great build quality which means this is likely to prove very durable and it can be used in conjunction with other Lego Friends' playsets.There is what's termed an 'island' in the online description. Well, there is a palm tree but this appears to double as a finishing post - which is great if you're set on winning a round the world race. As with any Lego set, what children do with the pieces is their affair.Maybe Stephanie will decide - as the woman who owns the boat - to turn it into a co-operative. Giving Maxine and Elijah a stake may mean they'll be more invested in the enterprise. And that way they might just soar to victory. Well, even us bystanding adults have our fantasies.This is an interesting Friends' playset that will promote logical thought in the construction, creative play and socialisation skills when children interract with each other to sail the Hope. Priced at £34.17 at time of writing, it's not cheap but the usual Lego quality prevails and this will be a toy children return to again and again.

I cannot recommend this Lego set highly enough. It's excellent, there is so much potential for imaginative play. The instructions are straightforward and it is easy to build. I love the design, so much thought has been put into this set and there is a lot of detail included. It comes with three mini-figures which is good. The boat is a good size and has lots of features to show off. Kids can use this as a normal sail boat or they can set up a race storyline and act a sailing race. I like the theme as it is adventurous without being something involving fighting. It's for age 7 and above and I think this is right as there are a few smaller bits and it might be too fiddly for younger kids.Highly recommended!!
