LEGO FRIENDS GETS AN UPDATE WITH COMPLEX CHARACTERS

LEGO is aiming to make its brand LEGO Friends more inclusive, featuring new characters who struggle with anxiety, learning, social skills, ADHD, and more. One character, Autumn, was born with only one arm.

There are characters from different countries, including Zac, who is African-French; Olly, who is British; and Leo, who is Mexican. The line also features a variety of skin tones, so kids can feel better represented.

This year, LEGO also dropped a new line of LEGO Friends building sets, some of which include Heartlake International School, Autumn’s House, a Cat Hotel, and more. The full line is available at specialty retailers, mass retailers, and at LEGO Stores.
