    LEGO® Wednesday Parents’ Guide

    We all know that life’s a little more fun with a touch of mystery – and perhaps a few spiders lurking in the corners just for thrills. That’s why the LEGO® Wednesday Addams franchise is a perfect fit for families looking to connect over a shared love of all things spooky. Inspired by the darkly humorous Netflix series based on The Addams Family, LEGO Wednesday sets offer a doorway to laughter, creativity and maybe even a little macabre mischief. 

    In this LEGO Wednesday Parents’ Guide, we’ll give you a hand (get it?) in navigating this exquisitely eerie theme…

    What is LEGO® Wednesday?

    LEGO Wednesday is a frightfully good collaboration between the LEGO Group and the Netflix hit series Wednesday. Set in the delightfully eerie universe of Nevermore Academy and the Addams Family mansion, these sets allow fans to recreate their favorite moments from the show or invent new darkly comic scenarios.

    For parents, it’s a nostalgic callback to the quirky original Addams Family, while kids will love diving into Wednesday’s iconic world, complete with gothic décor, her loyal disembodied hand companion Thing, and the ever-mysterious secrets of Nevermore. Gulp…

    Who is LEGO Wednesday aimed at?

    LEGO Wednesday sets are perfect for kids aged 10 and up. This age-appropriate range appeals to preteens and teens eager to explore imaginative, story-led play in a familiar world full of eerie surprises. Plus, the sets have excellent display value, making them a standout addition to any shelf or desk.

    But don’t let the recommended age stop you – parents will love building these sets, too! Whether it’s the nostalgia of seeing the Addams Family mansion in LEGO form or simply a love for bonding over creative projects, the whole family can join in the fun.

    Why do kids love LEGO Wednesday?

    What’s not to love about a franchise that blends gothic charm with empowering themes of individuality, mystery and overcoming challenges?

    Wednesday Addams is more than just a character – she’s a cultural phenomenon. She’s a role model for embracing quirks and staying true to oneself, demonstrated in everything from her iconic fashion sense to her infamous dance moves.

    LEGO sets like the Wednesday Addams Figure (76780) and Wednesday & Enid’s Dorm Room (76781) bring these elements to life with incredible detail. Kids can immerse themselves in spooky scenarios, solve mysteries and even host their own dance-offs. (Creaky joints are a bonus – it’s time to dust off your own dance moves and show the kids how it’s done.)

    Why do parents love LEGO Wednesday?

    These LEGO sets are a fantastic way to revisit those delightfully creepy memories of watching The Addams Family TV series or movies while sharing the magic with your kids.

    Not only do they offer a chance to bond over building sessions, but they also create opportunities for conversations about your childhood favorites and the legacy of The Addams Family.

    What development benefits do LEGO Wednesday sets offer? 

    LEGO Wednesday sets are all about story-led play with a spooky twist. With intricately designed builds like Wednesday & Enid’s Dorm Room (76781), your kids can reimagine their favorite moments from the series or dream up entirely new adventures. These sets encourage:

    Creative storytelling: Kids can play out mystery-solving adventures, design macabre fashion shows or invent a haunted talent contest at Nevermore. Cool, right? 

    Collaborative play: Whether siblings team up or parents join in, the sets are designed to be inclusive and fun for group projects.

    Problem-solving and design skills: Kids develop critical thinking while having fun thanks to intricate builds that require focus and planning.
