Put Your Sweets Away! These LEGO Sets Are the Halloween Gifts Kids Actually Want

Halloween is just around the corner, and if you're tired of filling trick-or-treat bags with candy that's gone in minutes, we've got something better. LEGO Halloween gifts are the ideal way to celebrate the spooky season while giving kids something they'll treasure long after October 31st. These building sets combine the thrills of Halloween with the creative joy of LEGO construction, making them excellent presents for children who love both building and the supernatural.

This year's lineup features some seriously cool sets—from haunted mansions to wicked castles. We're talking about top Halloween presents for children that range from friendly spooky to full-on frightening. Your little builder will find something here that'll make this Halloween unforgettable, no matter their age or skill level.

Why LEGO Makes an Excellent Halloween Gift

Candy disappears faster than a ghost at sunrise. LEGO sets, on the other hand, stick around. They're gifts that keep on giving, providing hours of building fun followed by months (or years) of display enjoyment.

These sets also pack serious educational value. Kids develop problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, and patience while following instructions. Once built, these spooky creations make fantastic Halloween decorations for bedrooms, playrooms, or anywhere that needs a touch of seasonal spirit. Some builders even enhance their displays with speciality LEGO lights turning these builds into truly spectacular pieces.

Most importantly, these sets work for multiple age ranges and skill levels. From younger builders tackling their first seasonal set to adult fans of LEGO who appreciate detailed display pieces, there's something for everyone.

1. King Boo's Haunted Mansion (71436)

This 932-piece Super Mario set brings one of gaming's most iconic haunted locations to life. Recommended for ages 8 and up, King Boo's Haunted Mansion retails for $74.99 and delivers serious play value.

The mansion opens like a book, revealing a detailed interior packed with interactive features. Kids can use the elevating sofa to transport characters to the rooftop, discover hidden keys in the bookcase, and topple King Boo from his rocking table in the courtyard. The set includes four figures: the titular King Boo (built as a large 6x6 cube), a standard Boo ghost, Yellow Baby Yoshi, and a Dry Bones skeleton.

The exterior looks fantastic when closed up, great for shelf display. But open it wide, and you've got an entire haunted world to explore. For kids who own the interactive Mario, Luigi, or Peach figures (sold separately), this LEGO set offers digital gameplay with coins to collect and boss battles to win. 

2. Halloween Barn (40721)

Sometimes great Halloween gift ideas for kids come in compact packages. The Halloween Barn is a smaller seasonal set designed for ages 9 and up, ideal for those looking for a quick Halloween build or a great addition to a boo basket.

This barn isn't your typical farm building. Step inside (if you dare), and you'll find creepy details like hidden teeth, hanging bats, and a grimly decorated eye watching from the shadows. The set includes a skeleton minifigure who's apparently been hanging around the barn for quite some time.

The Halloween Barn shines as both a building activity and a decoration. Kids can complete it in an afternoon, making it suitable for a Halloween party activity or a weekend project. Once built, it's the right size for displaying on a desk, bookshelf, or as part of a larger Halloween LEGO village. At its accessible price point, parents can easily pick up multiple seasonal sets without breaking the bank.

3. Prince Florian & Castle Bowser (72042)

For kids who want to recreate the epic finale of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, this 1,251-piece set delivers. Recommended for ages 9 and up and priced at $99.99, Prince Florian & Castle Bowser is one of the most impressive spooky season LEGO sets you'll find this year.

The centrepiece is Castle Bowser himself—because in a strange twist, Bowser and the castle have merged into one massive, flying fortress. The castle lifts off its stand to "fly" through the air, and Bowser's mouth shoots fireballs (brick-built, of course). Inside, there's a cell where poor Prince Florian is trapped, waiting to be rescued.

This set includes four figures: Pink Yoshi, Fiery Note Piranha, Prince Florian, and Wonder Bowser Jr. Kids who own the interactive LEGO Mario, Luigi, or Peach figures can connect them for digital reactions and play out the game's climactic final boss battle. Standing over 12 inches tall, this makes an impressive display piece that captures the drama of one of gaming's most memorable showdowns. The combination of play features and display potential makes this a standout choice for serious Super Mario fans.

4. Emerald City & Kiamo Ko Castle (75689)

With the Wicked movie creating major buzz, this 860-piece set brings the power of Oz to your Halloween celebrations. Designed for builders aged 9 and up, Emerald City & Kiamo Ko Castle offers two distinct buildings for the price of one.

The set includes both Glinda's bedroom in Emerald City and Elphaba's tower at Kiamo Ko Castle, each brimming with hidden features. In Emerald City, kids can pull down Glinda's bed or reveal a secret map of Oz. Over in Kiamo Ko Castle, a spinning compartment makes Elphaba "disappear" over a buildable rainbow. The set includes Glinda and Elphaba minidolls, plus the first-ever LEGO Wicked flying monkey figure.

What makes this set special for Halloween is its darker, gothic aesthetic. While Wicked isn't strictly a Halloween story, both locations have that mysterious, supernatural atmosphere suited for the season. Kids can recreate the emotional ending of "For Good" or invent their own stories. The two buildings display beautifully together or separately, adding a touch of theatrical drama to any room. Both structures feature gorgeous green and dark purple colour schemes that fit right into Halloween décor.

5 .Wednesday Addams Figure (76780)

The breakout Netflix star gets her own buildable figure in this 702-piece set for ages 10 and up, retailing at $49.99. The Wednesday Addams Figure captures everything fans love about the delightfully macabre teenager.

This is a detailed, posable model standing over 13 inches tall. Builders can choose between two outfits: Wednesday's classic Nevermore Academy uniform or the black dress she wore to the Rave'N Dance. The figure features two different facial expressions and fully posable limbs. The display stand includes black dahlia flowers and two secret lockable drawers for hiding treasures.

The set doesn't stop there. It includes Thing (Wednesday's loyal severed hand companion), a miniature typewriter, a crystal ball, Nero's grave, and the Nevermore Academy gate. Everything fits on the elaborate display stand, creating a complete scene from the show. The best Halloween gifts for those kids who appreciate gothic style and dark humour, this hits the right note. The level of detail makes it as much fun to display as it was to build, and the ability to swap outfits means the display never gets stale.

6. Piranha Plant (71426)

Not all LEGO gifts for kids are actually for kids. The Piranha Plant 71426 is officially rated 18+ and designed specifically as a display model. With 540 pieces and a price tag of $79.99, this is LEGO's gift to adult Super Mario fans.

This set recreates Mario's classic enemy in stunning detail. The Piranha Plant emerges from an iconic green warp pipe, with fully posable head, mouth, stalk, and leaves. Builders can position it in dozens of different poses, from menacing to playful. The plant sits in a beautifully constructed pipe base that's instantly recognisable to anyone who's ever played a Mario game. The set even includes two gold coin elements as a nod to the classic games.

What makes this LEGO Halloween gift suitable for the season is its carnivorous plant vibe. There's something inherently creepy about a man-eating plant, even when it's made of cheerful LEGO bricks. It makes an excellent conversation piece for a home office, game room, or anywhere you want to add a touch of Nintendo nostalgia. Unlike the interactive Super Mario sets, this is purely a display model with no digital functions—just a beautiful, posable piece of gaming history. The mostly stud-free surface and bold colours make it look more like a sculpture than a toy.

Time to Ditch the Candy and Build Something Better

These are the best Halloween gifts for kids, proving that LEGO sets are excellent for the spooky season. From haunted mansions to wicked castles, from gothic figures to carnivorous plants, there's a Halloween LEGO set for every fan and budget. They last longer than candy, spark more creativity than costumes, and create memories that outlast the season.

You're shopping for a young Super Mario fan, a Wednesday enthusiast, or an adult collector—LEGO delivers lasting value. Consider checking out Game of Bricks to add that extra touch of excitement with custom lighting. Your Halloween display (and the recipient) will thank you.

Happy building, and may your Halloween be full of creative fun!
