Bring some panda-powered fun to playtime with the LEGO® Friends Panda Sanctuary Animal Care set (42648), a 243-piece building kit designed for kids aged 7 and up who love animals, storytelling, and creative play. This set invites children to step into the world of Autumn and Liann as they care for a mother panda and her two playful cubs at a rescue sanctuary. With a treehouse, cave, and an ATV, young builders can create endless adventures filled with nurturing play and friendship.
The set is bursting with interactive details—pandas can zoom down the slide into the water, sway on the swing, or munch on bamboo while the friends keep track of their care using the weighing scale, grooming tools, and other accessories. When the pandas are ready for a nap in their cozy cave, Autumn and Liann can climb into the treehouse, complete with a desk and beds, to watch over them. Accessories such as a shovel, brush, apple, lantern, solar panel, and even a poop element add extra humor and storytelling possibilities.
Perfect as a birthday gift or everyday treat, this LEGO Friends set encourages kids to explore themes of responsibility, empathy, and teamwork while having fun. Once built, the sanctuary stands over 6 in. (15 cm) high, 7 in. (17 cm) wide, and 6.5 in. (16 cm) deep, making it a lively display piece as well as a playset. And with connections to the LEGO Friends: The Next Chapter online show, kids can expand their stories and bring Heartlake City to life through imaginative adventures.
