LEGO Disney Frozen II Anna’s Canoe Expedition 41165 Frozen Adventure Building Kit (108 Pieces)

The LEGO Disney Frozen II Anna’s Canoe Expedition set is a delightful entry-level kit that brings the magic of Frozen II to life in a way that encourages young builders to create, imagine, and explore. With 108 pieces, this set is specifically designed for younger hands, and it makes a lovely gift for both new LEGO enthusiasts and die-hard Frozen fans.User-Friendly Building Experience for KidsOne of the standout features of this set is its accessibility for younger children, as it’s designed for builders ages 4 and up. With fewer, larger pieces and a straightforward layout, it makes building approachable and fun without sacrificing the quality or charm that LEGO is known for. Each step is clearly illustrated in the included instruction booklet, so younger builders can follow along independently or with minimal help from an adult.My child, who’s just beginning to explore the world of LEGO, found this set to be the perfect blend of challenge and reward. They were able to assemble the pieces with a great sense of achievement, thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions and pieces that click together smoothly. It’s a great set for building confidence in new LEGO builders and encourages hands-on problem-solving.Beautifully Designed Elements from the Frozen UniverseWhat sets this LEGO set apart is the attention to detail that captures the Frozen aesthetic. Anna’s canoe, complete with delicate ice-inspired accents and a lantern accessory, reflects the mystical feel of her journey. It’s thoughtfully designed with wheels at the bottom, allowing it to roll across surfaces like it’s “floating” on an icy river, which adds a realistic touch to playtime.The set includes Anna and Olaf mini-dolls, as well as an adorable bunny figure and forest setting. The characters have their iconic looks—Anna with her detailed cape and Olaf’s cheerful expression—adding to the fun of acting out scenes from the movie. Plus, smaller accessories, like the lantern and fish, offer additional ways to engage with the scene and explore creative play.Encourages Creative Storytelling and Role PlayOne of the best things about this set is how it inspires imaginative play. With characters and a scene that kids recognize from Frozen II, they’re instantly drawn into reenacting their favorite movie moments. Beyond that, the design of the set lends itself well to open-ended storytelling, letting kids invent new adventures for Anna and Olaf. The set is compatible with other LEGO sets, so it’s easy to expand the story, integrate additional characters, or create a larger Frozen-themed landscape.Build Quality and Sturdiness for Extended PlayThe durability of LEGO shines through in this set, making it well-suited for play even after the initial build. Unlike some models that can come apart during play, Anna’s canoe and the forest pieces are sturdy and hold up well to little hands. This durability is especially helpful for younger kids, as they don’t have to worry about pieces falling off easily, which can be frustrating for some children. The set’s compact size makes it easy to bring along for playdates or travel, which is a nice bonus for families on the go.Great Value with Thoughtful Details and Strong Play PotentialGiven the price, this set is a fantastic value for Frozen fans. It offers a complete scene with mini-dolls, a vehicle, and accessories that make it possible to jump right into the story. It’s more than just a simple building set—this kit taps into a child’s imagination, encouraging interactive play and exploration of the Frozen universe in a hands-on way. For Frozen fans, the set’s attention to character design and setting detail is sure to be a hit.Final ThoughtsPros:• Beginner-friendly with easy-to-follow instructions• Detailed design true to the Frozen II movie, with a rolling canoe and iconic characters• Inspires imaginative play and role-playing opportunities• Durable build quality that withstands repeated play• Compact, portable size—great for on-the-go play or displayCons:• As a smaller set with limited pieces, it might feel too simple for older or more advanced LEGO builders• The range of accessories is modest, so kids who want more complexity may prefer larger Frozen setsOverall, LEGO Disney Frozen II Anna’s Canoe Expedition is an ideal set for young Frozen fans just beginning their LEGO journey.

We are huge Lego fans. We got this set to do with my daughter who is 3. This was her first set. She has watched us with her older brother 5. Who does Legos and we wanted to include her. She was very excited it is Anna, and she was able to out the pieces together with some help from mom. This was good. She had to find the piece and match the picture. She showed a lot of control. So this says 4 and older but with very little help my 3 yr old was able to do it too. And it was great! All the pieces are adorable though I'm not sure what the teeter totter part is for. But we liked this set!

So this is a relatively small, cheap, and easy to put together set. The cool parts: Anna with a dress I'm not sure she has in any other set, and a new version of Olaf from the old Frozen sets that's more minifig like rather than buildable. But the most fun part of this in my opinion is that the buildable canoe is narrower than, for example, lego rowboats, and actually fits down the slide like it was going down a waterfall.Also included an old version of Olaf in my pic for comparison.

My 6 year old daughter enjoyed building the set. She needed help with a few pieces but otherwise was able to do it on her own. I think it would be challenging for a 4 year old to press down the tiny pieces in the correct place. The Anna mini figure and bunny are cute. My daughter loved the new Frozen 2 Movie and got this LEGO set for Christmas along with the Elsa and Sven wagon set. The colors are very bright and vivid and the set was fun to build.

I got this for a 3 and a half year old who is surrounded by two older brothers with little Legos. It is not as easy as the Lego Jr. sets I've done before, but it's easier than most of the regular ones. You will need a drop of super glue to keep the hair on Anna, because it's rubbery instead of the usual hard plastic hair.

Gift

Box arrived smashed.Obviously the Legos inside were fine. But it’s tough to give a kid a gift of Legos when the box is smashed to bits and split open.Was this a used/previously returned item?Seemed like it.Still 5 stars because Lego is awesome. 2 stars for delivery condition of an item intended as a gift.

My 4 1/2 year old granddaughter loved it and it is very cute.I’m glad it wasn’t a gift or breakable because it was just the thin product box in an envelope. The box was mashed and smashed and would not have been able to be wrapped for a gift.
