What’s one to do to keep busy in the winter? If you’re looking for a non-screen form of entertainment, building a Lego set certainly fits the bill. It’s a highly enjoyable activity and it leaves you with something fun to add to your desk or a bookshelf. Plus, some upcoming Lego sets are about to get a major upgrade since Lego just announced Smart Play sets that have interactive lights, sounds, and motions.
Since Legos have no age bounds, it’s a great activity to keep kids busy or a nice way to get the whole house working on a project together. The Lego collection is vast, so there’s something for everyone when it comes to brick builds from the Danish brand. Here are some great deals and new sets to snag this week.

Why we like it
Yes, the Lego Technic collection features one of our favorite Lego sets — the Lego Technic McLaren P1, but it also has smaller and more affordable builds that are equally awesome. For example, check out the Lego Technic Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck because there’s nothing cooler than taking care of Mother Earth by recycling. The electric garbage truck build is an assured hit with kids who love watching the garbage collection each week. The gear lever allows builders to grab, lift, and tip the garbage can into the side loader on the truck.
