LEGO(R) Creator Beautiful Horse - 31166

The 3-in-1 feature is the real win here—we’ve already rebuilt it twice and my kid keeps going back to the horse pose first. The bricks click together so smoothly that even the tail and mane stayed put during a full-speed gallop across the living room.

My 9-year-old built the main horse model in under an hour and was so proud of the flowing mane and tail pieces. The fact that you can rebuild it into a pegasus or a foal keeps her coming back to the brick pile.

The 3-in-1 feature is what sold me, and my daughter rebuilt it into the foal within an hour of finishing the horse. The legs are surprisingly poseable, so it actually stands on its own instead of tipping over like her other sets.
