For a 10-year-old girl who loves LEGO, start with the Disney Stitch set, a character build she can display, or the Marvel advent calendar for a daily December build.
Supply Drop turns 314 pieces into a build for a 10-year-old Fortnite player who keeps a bin of bricks by her desk.
She plays the game with her squad, so piecing this one together gives that world a form she holds. Once complete, the model claims a corner of her desk beside her other LEGO creations.
Three models come out of one box with this 3-in-1 Creator set.
She starts with the colorful hummingbird, then takes it apart and uses the same bricks for the second design, saving the third for another rainy afternoon.
This Creator Flowers in Watering Can set gives a girl who loves LEGO 420 pieces for several models.
She puts the bouquet together, then breaks it down and turns the same pieces into another design. The finished bouquet sits on her desk until she wants a fresh project.
Every bug she finds gets a closer look, and this LEGO Creator set lets her make a spider from bricks.
Its 153 pieces come apart and go back together as other critters, matching how she studies each new find. Whichever creature she finishes ends up next to her bug jar.
Should your 10-year-old spend her evenings in Minecraft, this LEGO Creeper puts a mob from her worlds on her desk.
Its 665 pieces carry an age rating that matches hers, and she knows every corner of the game this figure comes from. The brick mob stands watch beside her monitor, ready for her next login.
Fire and Ice styling turns Grave Digger into a Technic build for a LEGO fan who wants her shelf a little louder.
Technic offers her a change from the houses and street scenes most brick sets give, and Monster Jam brings the swagger. Her completed truck claims the end of that shelf, parked in front of the quieter sets.
This LEGO City chase pits a patrol cruiser against a speeding getaway, for a builder who wants her bricks to race.
A builder her age plays with a model the moment it is done, and here both sides of the chase are hers. The cruiser she builds ends up parked crosswise in her bedroom doorway, a roadblock for the getaway.
When the girl you are choosing for stops at every roadwork crew, a LEGO City backhoe loader brings one home.
Its 301 pieces turn the street machines she points out into a model she assembles on her own. The finished digger stands guard over the bin of spare bricks beside her bed.

Questions and answers
Is there something for a girl who wants a small build to open every morning in December?
Yes. The Marvel advent calendar is for a girl who follows the superheroes and wants a brick build to add to her collection each December morning, and the Star Wars countdown calendar is for a girl who would rather count down with the Star Wars galaxy instead.
What should you get a girl who plays Minecraft after school?
A girl who likes the game's mobs builds the Minecraft Chicken Jockey figure and poses it on her desk, while a girl who spends her time exploring builds the Minecraft dungeon playset and stages scenes from the game with its bricks.
Is there a pick for a girl who follows rocket launches and space news?
A girl who watches launch streams and knows the mission names gets to build the Technic Artemis rocket, a space rocket model she puts together and keeps on display.
Is there something for a girl who would rather build flowers than figures?
For a girl who likes color on her windowsill, the Creator flower set lets her build blooms from bricks and arrange them as a bouquet that never needs water.
What LEGO set should you get a 10-year-old girl?
Sets marked 8+ or 9+ suit most children this age. Technic, NINJAGO, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Friends and Creator 3in1 all build at this level. For a child who already builds a lot, a larger set from a theme they follow makes a good main present.
Can a 10-year-old build LEGO alone?
Yes, most can build a set marked for their age alone. Large sets come in numbered bags and can take several sessions, so they can stop and pick up again where they left off.
What does the age on a LEGO box mean?
It is LEGO's guide to how complex the build is. A child who builds a lot can manage a set marked a year or two above their age; a child new to LEGO does better at or just below it.
What are girl LEGO sets called?
LEGO Friends is the line most often marketed to girls, along with LEGO Disney Princess and LEGO Gabby's Dollhouse. LEGO boxes carry an age, not a gender, so any theme the child already likes suits her just as well.
What age is LEGO safe for kids?
LEGO sets with small pieces carry a choking hazard warning and are not for children under 3. DUPLO is made for children from 18 months, and most LEGO sets start at 4+.
