The highest level is some lovely architectural detail in sand green that features several pieces that are new in this colour. The seventh and final bag of the build is entirely dedicated ot it; which is quite reminiscent of a modular building. I love the choice of colour which really sets off the rest of the building.

Putting quality in focus - All LEGO components meet strict industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and fun to build with: it's been that way since 1958 There's no discernible way of accessing the next floor, but the second level is where things really start happening. There's a sewing station, with some nice parts usage for the sewing machine, a measuring tape and rolls of fabric with which to create. The mannequin stands close by in a bay window, ready to be draped with the latest haute couture. Although LEGO is considered an educational toy, it’s surprising how few sets have been released through the decades featuring school buildings. Fortunately, the LEGO Friends line changed this. We got the #41005 LEGO Friends Heartlake High in 2013, the #41134 LEGO Friends Heartlake Performance School in 2016, the #41682 LEGO Friends Heartlake City School in 2021, and this year, we got two schools; the #41711 LEGO Friends Emma’s Art School, and the #41714 LEGO Friends Andrea’s Theater School. Art studio set encourages creative play - Kids who love crafts imagine making different creative artworks in the various classrooms then taking them to be photographed in the studio The beautiful French-style building, with its large windows and creative sign comprised of a brush and a pen, is a work of art in itself! Kids can make it even more attractive by customising it however they choose with the included LEGO DOTS tiles.

Attractive 2-story Heartlake City School (41682) is brimming with creative details so kids can enjoy hours of fun recreating their perfect school day with LEGO® Friends Olivia. What's in the box? - The set's 844 pieces create a 3-story building with craft classrooms and art studios to explore, plus a colourful assortment of art toys and 3 LEGO Friends characters

This LEGO Friends high school features a beautiful 3-floored French- style building full of creative art toys. There’s so much to explore – like a posable mannequin, camera, cotton spools, painting canvas, art brushes and cans of spray paint. With these LEGO sets, kids can imagine putting together their own masterpieces! Measures over 6 in. (17 cm) high, 9 in. (25 cm) wide and 3 in. (9 cm) deep, and sits on a sturdy baseplate, making it an impressive stand-alone display. In the LEGO Emma’s Art School Set, you’ll find three LEGO Friends mini-dolls. Play with characters you know and love from Heartlake City – like Emma, Professor Béatrice and Felix. Learn the art of ceramics, fashion and 3D printing with Emma.The #41711 LEGO Friends Emma’s Art School comes with 844 pieces and features a three-story French-style building with a pleasing color-scheme and lovely details like the brush and pen over the entrance and the customizable panels with colorful LEGO DOTS tiles. Spin the theater around and there’s rigging for the lights and a dressing room where characters get made up, just like at a real theater. Let kids recreate their perfect school day at the Heartlake City School (41682). Within the beautifully styled building, kids can recreate the school day, hang out with friends, attend their favourite lessons and play the teacher. The #41714 LEGO Friends Andrea’s Theater School with 1,154 pieces features a wonderfully detailed Victorian facade that also rivals the LEGO Modular Buildings. In fact, it mimics the look of a London West End theater, but it doesn’t stop there. This LEGO set features an assortment of cute details that bring your pretend-play school set to life! Explore them all at the LEGO Emma’s Art School: the pottery wheel spins by turning the handle, the camera comes with two lenses and the posable mannequin spins on its stand.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean I don't like pink. I just like things to look like they fit. I think girls (or whomever) have every right to have lots and lots of sets that fit their desires and dreams. Inspire kids to be creative with the Emma's Art School set, a great gift for kids. Inside the beautiful building are 3 floors full of creative art toys, where boys and girls play with LEGO Friends Emma as she learns the art of ceramics, fashion and 3D printing. The really should have designed the paint splatters on the sign so that the one next to "ART" didn't look like an F. Neat sewing machine; it's always fun when they find new uses for the ice skate piece. I love the functional potter's wheel.The playset comes with 2 LEGO® Friends characters and a teacher figure, allowing kids to use their creativity to take lessons their way. Or they can look after the new boy Julian and show him around. LEGO Friends sets deliver an exciting build-and-play experience that lets kids act out their own real-life situations. This LEGO art set comes with digital instructions available free on the LEGO Building Instructions app. They allow kids to view their model in 3D, rotate it and zoom into it mid-build. It's construction for the digital age!

Introduce your little ones to the exciting world of LEGO® Friends in Heartlake City. A place where kids can explore their passions and go on colourful adventures with the next generation of LEGO Friends. On the other side of the floor is a potter's wheel, with a nice little moving function. I like that the Friends designers always take the opportunity to add in moving functions into their sets.

Up we go to the top floor, with again no discernible way of getting there. This must be the high tech floor! On one side there's a 3-D printing station, which is fashioning a nanofig. It's unclear whether the flowers featured in the bay window are a product of the printing station.
