Interesting New Disney Princess LEGO Sets
LEGO Disney Princess Elsa’s Magical Ice Palace 41148 Set
A Frozen themed LEGO Disney Princess collections would not be complete without the infamous castle that Elsa formed with her ice magic.

The whole castle is made from white and translucent blue bricks for a wonderful effect.
LEGO Disney Princess Anna’s Snow Adventure 41147 set
Frozen-themed LEGO Disney play sets are as much about the adventure of the story as the fun builds and castle. That is why many young fans will be keen to include this LEGO Disney Princess Anna’s Snow Adventure 41147 Building set to their collection.

LEGO Juniors Disney Anna & Elsa’s Frozen Playground 10736 set
It is important to remember that not all LEGO sets designed around Disney Princesses are make for the same age range. There are some sets that are created in the LEGO Juniors category where the builds are a little easier to create and simplistic in nature. One of the best examples of this is the LEGO Juniors Anna & Elsa’s Frozen Playground 10736 Building set. In many ways, this set provides a version of the Ice Palace 41148 for a younger audience. The design is similar, but the approach and story are aimed at smaller children.
This is is seen in two important ways. First there is the similarity in the design of the castle and use of minifigures. This pretty, 18cm high structure uses similar blue and white bricks, but they are larger and easier to put together. There is also the inclusion of Anna and Elsa with their skis and ice skates. Secondly, there is the difference in the story. This is clearly seen with the focus on the polar bear cub pet, the slide and the snowball catapult. This is an alternative version of a prized 2017 set, and one that younger players will love because of the simple changes and storyline.
