New kits help find inner peace

The iconic children's toy maker Lego is now targeting adults looking to find release from the stresses of daily life.

The toy giant launched crowd-funded sets in which adults are invited to build the skeleton and customize with skin. The skin can be colored in after building and the fish even swims when you turn its crank.

Research by Lego showed that 91 percent of adults said playing improved their wellbeing, with 86 percent saying it made them more relaxed.

A spokesperson for the company said it has "a strong adult fan base" and says its adult sets offer "creative projects for adults allowing for a few hours of off-screen me-time".
