Lego Friends Book-light and LED Brick Light Key-chain.

Lego – how long has this been on the go? A long time! The beginnings of Lego actually began in 1932 and the ‘brick’ came into play in 1949.

Lego has a great ethos and we always love to review the sets and accessories on Pampered Presents. Many many sets are to be found ranging from Space Ships, to the Wild West – however one major theme is missing and that the ‘military style’ toys. Lego have stated they will NEVER sell toys that resemble war and present war to children in game form – Why can’t all toy manufactures learn from this?? Maybe some-day, in a more perfect world.

Lego now have over 10,000 employees and the toys are sold in over 130 countries, amazing! Well done Lego, we love you.

I still have the Lego I had as a child and it is compatible with the modern sets my children play with so it is an excellent toy to buy. Accessories from Lego are very popular and my children have the Lego Friends Book-light and Key-ring light.

The Book-light is great as it clips onto books to enable my children read at night and saves them reading with the full light on which might hinder them from falling asleep – God forbid!

We have been through quite a few book-lights in our household, between the children and their father, they all enjoying reading in bed. However, the Lego Friends Book-light is by far the strongest – it is simply made, with no exposed wires and fiddly parts like some of the others. I would be happy letting my 4 year old use this. Priced from £9.99 this is very good value as it will stand the test of time.

My 10 year old has a great key-chain collection and her latest addition was the Lego friends Brick Key-chain. This too is strong and built to last. Well priced from £6.99.

The key light is actually quite strong and I have called on her to use it to help me find the house key on my key chain in the dark. Although this is a toy, it is a handy little item to have on a key-ring. The colours are from the Lego friends series to co-ordinate with the sets.

As ever, all Lego toys and accessories have a special place here at Pampered Presents, and they all come highly recommended.
