Strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate? The LEGO Friends Heartlake City Ice Cream Truck (Set 42644) is open for business — and it’s the sweetest LEGO set of the season. An easy-to-build ice cream truck, two minidolls (Paisley and Elsa D), an adorable bunny figure, and a full selection of ice cream cones and flavour servings. At just £14.39 for ages 4 and up, this is the perfect introduction to LEGO Friends and one of the most charming, play-rich sets in the range.
The Sweetest Build in Heartlake City
The LEGO Friends range is designed specifically for younger builders — accessible builds that deliver immediate play value, with characters and storylines that children connect with emotionally. The Ice Cream Truck is a perfect example: an easy-to-build vehicle that children aged 4 and up can tackle with minimal adult help, delivering a finished model that’s immediately ready for role-play.
The set includes Paisley and Elsa D minidolls — recognisable characters from the LEGO Friends: The Next Chapter series — plus an adorable bunny figure as the first customer. The ice cream accessories cover strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate, giving children the full ice cream parlour experience in miniature. Every element is designed to support the kind of social, imaginative role-play that develops communication skills, empathy, and creativity.
When This Set Scoops Up the Fun
🍦 First LEGO Build for Young Children (Ages 4+)
The Ice Cream Truck is specifically designed as an accessible entry point for younger builders — the build is straightforward enough for a 4-year-old to complete with minimal help, delivering the pride and satisfaction of a finished LEGO model at an age when that feeling is particularly powerful. The immediate play value (two minidolls, a bunny, ice cream accessories) means the reward comes quickly and the play begins the moment the build is done.
👧 LEGO Friends Fans & Collection Building
For children who already love LEGO Friends, Paisley and Elsa D are familiar, beloved characters from The Next Chapter series, and the Ice Cream Truck is a natural addition to a Heartlake City collection. It connects with the wider Friends universe — the show, the other sets, the characters — and adds a commercial, community-focused element to a city display that brings the neighbourhood to life.
🤝 Social Role-Play & Communication Skills
The ice cream vendor scenario is one of the richest role-play contexts for young children — it involves customer service, decision-making (which flavour?), transaction play, and social interaction between characters. Research consistently shows that this kind of role-play develops communication skills, empathy, and social confidence in young children. The Ice Cream Truck gives children all the props they need to play out these scenarios in the most engaging, tactile way.
🎁 The Perfect Small Gift for Ages 4–8
At £14.39, the LEGO Friends Ice Cream Truck is an exceptional gift at a price point that works for birthdays, Christmas stockings, party bags for older children, or a spontaneous treat. The LEGO Friends brand is universally trusted by parents, the ice cream theme is universally appealing to children, and the set delivers genuine play value well beyond its price. This is the gift that always lands.
📺 LEGO Friends: The Next Chapter Tie-In
For children who watch LEGO Friends: The Next Chapter on streaming platforms, the Ice Cream Truck brings the show’s world into their hands. Paisley and Elsa D are characters they know and love, and recreating scenes from the show — or inventing entirely new adventures — is a natural, engaging extension of their viewing experience. It’s the toy that makes the show feel real.
A Scoop of LEGO Joy for £14.39 💸
