LEGO 42601 Hamster Playground – Creative Build & Role Play | LEGO Friends

Discover the LEGO Friends 42601 Hamster Playground

The LEGO 42601 Hamster Playground invites young builders to design, care for, and imagine a lively hamster world. With two LEGO Friends characters, Zac and Jamila, and three hamster figures, this set blends storytelling with hands-on construction for kids 6 and up. Assembling the playground is just the start—the real fun unfolds as little builders guide the hamsters through cozy routines, playful challenges, and social adventures.

• Playground components: a carousel, a slide, hamster balls, and an exercise wheel

Building with the LEGO Builder app
