The little Lego stocking fillers that will build the excitement this Christmas

For young children (and big kids) on Christmas morning, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of stockings at the crack of dawn – especially for those who haven’t slept a wink, listening out for Santa and his sleigh.

Filling the kids’ stockings, however, and thinking of gifts they won’t tire of by Boxing Day, might be slightly less thrilling for the grown-ups. But, aside from stationery, skincare and a few satsumas, one Christmas wish-list item youngsters can really engage with is Lego.

While the famous brick-built brand probably conjures up images of colossal 2,960-piece Black Panther sets and 3,000-piece loop-the-loop rollercoasters that take time to build, you’ll find plenty of miniature sets for less than £20 or even £10 – making them perfect stocking-filler material.

Whether your kids are a fan of Disney, an artistic type or a ‘Potterhead’, these mini and manageable sets are sure to build the excitement on Christmas morning, with myriad themes catering to kids six years old and above.

If you’re considering sorting their stockings ahead of time, or are looking for inspiration before the big day, read on for the mini Lego sets we think would make their Christmas wish list.
