Has it been a long week of work, school and a thousand things to do? Are you and the kids ready to unwind, relax and enjoy yourselves? Then you’ve come to the right place…

Creative, engaging and super-fun, LEGO® sets make for the perfect weekend activity that you can tuck into anytime, anywhere. And now with the Build Together feature on the LEGO Builder app, building your favorite LEGO models with friends and family is easier and more exciting than ever!

So, what sets are best when it comes to Saturdays, Sundays and Fundays?! Well, it depends on what kind of weekend you have lined up, but here are some great ideas to get you going! Take a look at our top picks for a fun-filled weekend building project…

Nice and cozy

Some weekends, you’d just rather not leave the house. Maybe you’ve all had an exhausting week, or perhaps the weather is cold, wet and less than inviting! Whatever the reason, for a laid-back, snuggly weekend at home, we’d suggest the LEGO Cozy House (31139) set.

Team up together to build a super-cute house, where you can cook in the kitchen, relax on the terrace and hunker down by the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa! Sounds idyllic, doesn’t it? When you’ve finished, enjoy even more creative building as you convert your model into a 3-floor canal house, or a beautiful lake house, where you can sail a boat on the water!

As you build and play with your LEGO set, share some laughs, making up fun stories set in your three different houses. Fun!

Choo choo!

Are you off on a weekend away? Visiting friends or family for a few days? If so, choose a LEGO set that’ll get your little ones excited for their trip! The LEGO CITY Train Station (60335) will do just the trick…

Use Build Together to assemble a vibrant train station, featuring a ticket office, coffee bar, and a platform where your Minifigures can wait to begin their journey. Then build the maintenance truck and make sure all’s in order at your station, before boarding the big, blue bus for some exciting excursions!

An unexpected visit

Nothing quite beats a weekend movie night, wouldn’t you agree? Sinking in the sofa and getting lost in your favorite films… ahhh, it’s the best! So, why not enjoy a movie-themed weekend with some exciting LEGO models, such as Hagrid’s Hut: An Unexpected Visit (76428)?

See if you have the teamwork, creativity and magic to build Hagrid’s homely hut, featuring a quirky kitchen, crackling fireplace, Hagrid’s oversized chair and Fang’s cozy kennel! And you’d best get straight to it, because some unexpected visors are on their way… Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger!

When you’ve finished your build, fly off with some imaginative play, creating fantastical stories for your Minifigure characters. And, of course, be sure to enjoy a family screening of your favorite Harry Potter movies, too!

Roll back in time

Is there a weekend of bright, clear skies ahead? Maybe the weather is getting warmer, with spring or summer fast approaching? Bliss! If you’re looking for a weekend activity to get your kids into the sunny spirit, why not go for the Retro Roller Skate (31148)?

Featuring three models in one, this super-cool set makes a fantastic weekend building project. Team up and roll back in time as you piece together a colorful retro roller skate. Then enjoy more fun on wheels as you convert your model into a speedy skateboard, before blasting out some LEGO-building beats on a retro boom box radio. Well, we did say it was super-cool…

Weather permitting, why not let your kids build their retro skater set in the garden or local park for an outdoor weekend play session?

It’s all happening in the city center!

How does a weekend-long building bonanza sound? A whole lot of fun, right? Well, if you’re up for immersing yourselves in world of LEGO model making, we recommend LEGO CITY Downtown (60380).

With this whopping 2010-piece set, you’ll get to build a bright, bustling city center, featuring a park, barber shop, vet clinic, blogging studio, rooftop discotheque, comic shop… (sorry, hold on while we take a breather)… tech shop, hotel, caretaker’s room, street-food area and more!

One seriously big build, LEGO CITY Downtown makes for a fantastic weekend building challenge. And with all kinds of different features and Minifigure characters, it’ll keep little ones entertained for hours on end!

With so many sets on offer, covering a huge range of exciting themes, there’s a LEGO set for every kind of weekend – be it indoors or outdoors, at home or away.

We hope our list has inspired you to try some exciting weekend LEGO projects yourselves. Simply choose your favorite sets, open Build Together on the LEGO Builder app, and let the brick-building fun begin!
