LEGO FRIENDS! Jungle Falls Review!

What is it?

It's a small to medium sized set of a waterfall with a secret cave and crystal! It comes with LEGO Friend Olivia, a cute tiger cub and even cuter Chameleon!

What the boy thought

When I last wrote about the LEGO Friends range my son at first was pretty dubious about playing with a "Girls" toy. Which I can understand, for a little boy, he wants to be a little boy. I believe LEGO in the past among other things have been accused of being sexist, which is just ridiculous!

After a few minutes of moaning about this being a "girls toy" he forgot all about it and just got on and put the set together, pretty quickly for him too! He was a little stressed with the stickers (I was as a kid, so I always used to get my mum to sort them) so I stuck these for him as he built. With LEGO there's always the realization when you're on that last page that it's nearly finished, and my son had that same realization and exclaimed "I'm nearly finished!"

After my son was finished building the set he continued to play with it, moving characters about and stroking the animals, he even got some of his other sets involved. He loved it!

Just one con, the sliding mechanism of the 'secret cave' is a little stiff and it can keep coming apart if you're not careful enough, unfortunately 5 year old boys aren't that careful.. a good thing is though that there are spares! Enough for an extra bunch of flowers to make the place look nice and also another vine ladder to possibly adjoin playsets? So the LEGO Junior BATCAVE would go great next to this! ...well .. kinda! 

The Verdict

LEGO has the amazing ability to grab a child's attention and get their imaginations running wild, who really cares if the toy is for a boy or girl? 

It doesn't really matter. In the end, a toy is a toy. This one? Another great addition to the LEGO range!

This set RRP's at £17.99 suitable for ages 6-12, however my son is 5 and got on fine. It's available in any shop who is SMART enough to stock LEGO!
