If you haven’t seen the set up close, here are a few photos of the builds: I liked that the booklet came with English, Spanish and French explanations combined. Made
I’m a little ashamed to say it, but I really like LEGO Friends. Set aside all the stereotypical girlie stuff… all the hair brushes, lipsticks, makeup mirrors, etc… and they’re just plain fun.
