Product Description

The LEGO Friends Stargazing Camping Vehicle (42603) set is a charming and detailed toy that encourages kids to role-play a night of camping and stargazing. The main model is a rugged 4x4 vehicle that tows a camping trailer. The trailer is packed with features, including a cool, self-folding tent on top that can be easily set up for the mini-dolls to sleep in. The set also includes a buildable telescope and a backdrop with planets and stars that kids can customize to create their own constellations.

The set comes with a variety of accessories to inspire friendship stories, such as mugs, cookies, binoculars, a flashlight, and an electronic tablet. It features two of the new LEGO Friends characters, Nova and Aliya, along with their pet figures, a dog and a hedgehog, adding to the storytelling possibilities.

This set is a perfect blend of a fun vehicle build and a peaceful, nature-themed playset. The clever design of the self-folding tent and the detailed accessories make it a highly enjoyable and creative toy.

Useful Guide

• Building Instructions: The set comes with paper instructions. For a more interactive and modern experience, you can use the LEGO Builder app. The app allows you to zoom in and rotate the models in 3D, track your progress, and save your builds, which is great for keeping track of your progress.

• Play Features: The key play features are the vehicle and trailer with the self-folding tent. The tent's design is particularly clever, using fabric elements that fold up neatly for storage. Kids can also use the various accessories to create different camping scenes, from having a snack with the pets to stargazing with the telescope.

• Creating Constellations: The set includes a backdrop with prints of planets and stars. Encourage kids to use the included pieces to connect the stars and create their own unique constellations for the characters to observe.

• Compatibility: This set is fully compatible with other LEGO Friends sets. The mini-dolls can be placed in other vehicles, and the pieces can be used to expand other models, allowing for endless creative possibilities.
