Since this winter has been absolutely frigid, you might be on the hunt for some fun weekend activities that don't involve leaving the house. If you're tired of scrolling social media or you've run out of TV shows to watch, consider this your new winter hobby: According to Amazon reviewers, this adorable LEGO plant set is so fun and easy to build — and it's 20% off right now.
The LEGO Botanicals Tiny Plants Building Set comes with 758 individual pieces — enough to create a variety of irresistibly cute mini plants and succulents. Ranging from desert succulents to carnivorous Venus fly traps, there are nine different plant varietals to build (with the help of step-by-step instructions, of course).
Plus, we love that each plant is "potted" in a mini terracotta pot, just like your real-life plants. Since the largest structure measures just over 6.5 inches high, (yes, these are tiny!) this set is easy to display even in small spaces.
If you're new to adult LEGOs, this pick is a great place to start. Each of the nine plant sets range in difficulty from beginner to advanced, and you can follow along using the included building instructions, or access a digital version in the LEGO Builder app. What's more, this set has earned an impressive 4.9/5 star rating from over 3,500 reviewers on Amazon raving about its clear instructions and accessible design, including this shopper:
"As a left-hand amputee, I was initially concerned about working with some of the smaller pieces in this set," said an Amazon reviewer. "However...the overall design of the set and the clarity of the instructions made it an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Whether you’re an experienced builder or someone with physical challenges like myself, this set is absolutely worth your time."
Once you've completed this particular LEGO set, there are plenty of other botanical options to add to your collection — and several of them happen to be on sale, too. From an editor-loved flower bouquet to an elegant potted orchid, here are the best LEGO deals to shop right now. (Hint, hint: they also make for some pretty thoughtful Valentine's Day gifts.)
