As we prepare to celebrate the Lunar New Year on Tuesday, Feb. 1, LEGO is honoring the traditions and festivities of the upcoming holiday with a range of new products. Give the gift of celebration with these play-and-display LEGO sets and activities!
Kids can ring in the Year of the Tiger with the buildable Majestic Tiger figure. If your little one is an animal lover, they can expand their collection with other symbolic Lunar New Year animals, such as the Chinese New Year Panda, the Shorthair Cats, the Lucky Cat, and the Lion Dance Guy set. Each of these animal sets includes multiple pieces.
LEGO launched its Monkie Kid theme in 2020 with an animated series of the same title. Based on centuries-old Chinese legends of The Monkey King, the series aims to retell these stories in a modern way. The Lunar New Year LEGO collection features a host of Monkie Kid-inspired interactive playsets, including The City of Lanterns playset. With 2,187 pieces, kids ages 9 and up can explore different stores, restaurants, and public transportation sites to build a city of unlimited potential. Other new Monkie Kid-inspired playsets include the Monkie Kid’s Galactic Explorer set, the Nezha’s Fire Ring set, and the Evil Macaque’s Mech.
In addition to new Monkie Kid products, LEGO is also honoring the Lunar New Year with a Lunar Ice Festival playset. Complete with 1,519 pieces and 13 mini-figures, the play set recreates traditional family activities.
LEGO is making sure your kids get everything they wish for this New Year with these free, downloadable activities! Kids can partake in classic finger puppet tradition by making paper Pig and Tiger finger puppets. Other free activities include instructions for building a Chinese Pagoda and a Chinese Lantern! The full range of Lunar New Year products and activities can be found on lego.com. Xin nian hao!
