The Space Exploration Telescope is a fantastic display piece. This 3-in-1 set offers a detailed telescope build with the added value of being able to rebuild it into two alternative models, providing hours of building fun and display options.
This set is perfect for space enthusiasts and LEGO builders of all ages. The build is engaging without being overly complex, making it a great project for families or individual builders looking for a rewarding experience. The final model looks great on a shelf or desk.

Boys and girls ages 8 and up can indulge their passion for science and space with this LEGO® Creator 3 in 1 Space Exploration Telescope (31378) building set. This detailed STEM toy offers 3 different building options with the same set of bricks. Kids can choose to build an adjustable telescope toy on a tripod with a solar system model featuring the sun and 7 planets that can be spun around. This can be rebuilt into an adjustable microscope toy or a UFO model with posable antennae and legs that flip out to display it. Each space toy includes a light brick (batteries included), which kids can activate by pushing a button to project images from the telescope onto a surface, illuminate images on the microscope or beam a light from underneath the UFO. There are 3 interchangeable decorated lenses, with images of a planet, a star and the Moon to project from the telescope or view inside the microscope. Please note models cannot be built simultaneously. Set contains 278 pieces.
