Lego Hogwarts moment defence class: £24.99, Lego.com

(Morrisons )

Earning a spot in our round-up of the best Lego sets for kids, our tester praised this as a great build for easy on-the-go play. “The set is recommended for those over eight but our nine-year-old whipped it up in no time, so younger children shouldn’t find it too challenging,” they said. The portable playset is designed to look like a brick-built spell book and opens up for play. “Everything can be tucked away inside the book when your child moves onto something else – a godsend if space is tight.” Costing just £24.99, note that you’ll need to purchase something else from the Harry Potter collection to make it up to £130.
