The Plus-Plus Learn to Build Space Super Set is here set to unite families in the same way the Artemis II launch united the world in April – in wonder – while the Connetix Ball Run Launcher adds a kinetic twist to construction, perfect for experimenting with gravity and design. And continuing the making theme, what could be more fun than building a festive LEGO train track around your Christmas tree? LEGO has unveiled its Icons 10361 Winter Village Collection Holiday Express Train, exclusive to John Lewis, designed for families to step away from screens and build together, one brick at a time. 

With K-Pop continuing to shape global culture, the Mattel K-Pop Demon Hunters Singing Dolls are set to strike a chord with fans across generations – expect them to sell out. Leaning in to the boom in blind-box collectibles, TOMY’s Momiji Sugar Plum Wood Blind Box Message Dolls create a little magic with their hidden personalised messages.

Meanwhile, with Mon Ami set to officially launch in UK retail exclusively at John Lewis, the Colette The Duck will be your child’s new BFF. And ahead of the highly anticipated release of Julia Donaldson’s Gruffalo Granny book (released 10 September), ride the wave of Gruffalo mania with the exclusive Micro Scooters Mini LED Foldable Scooter and accessories.
