LEGO Building Instructions

Have you lost the instruction to make a LEGO item but the item has been broken or completely taken apart? LEGO has on their website a way for you to download.

Go to   https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions

Fill in the following from this page.

Type in the item number or type in a description.
Click on the magnifying glass on the right to start the search.

Example:
I typed in Minecraft Ender Dragon.
It could not find that so I typed in Minecraft and it listed all the kits with Minecraft.
Found what I wanted.

This window appears.

I confirmed it was the item I wanted.

Click on Download PDF in the bottom right-hand corner.

It opened in Adobe Reader. I can now save the pdf document to my computer.

Lego Patterns

For ideas of things to make with LEGO, I have a Pinterest page of links to LEGO design pages. The links include very simple items like the snail below to very complex.

The LEGO Idea Studio

"The LEGO® Idea Studio at the LEGO Foundation develops and facilitates hands-on tinkering experiences that build a foundation for a deeper understanding of the LEGO® Idea and learning through play.

"With the LEGO® bricks we can build anything we can possibly imagine as if they were glued and yet they can easily be taken apart and reconfigured into a new idea. When we do this we are not only creating but also evaluating, reflecting and recreating to achieve new possibilities. We learn through play in a self motivated and fun way."
