Curl-tailed chameleon, a brick build

LET’S MAKE A LITTLE SOMETHING

Curl-tailed chameleon

35 pieces 14 steps

A curled green tail and wide dark eyes give this branch-perched chameleon its character. Lift and swap its two coloured back sections to change the pattern.

Free instructions. No account needed.

Have these shapes handy: Curved brick.

A little before you begin

The tail, legs and head stay fixed. The two back sections lift off and exchange places.

Both coloured sections are included; no extra bricks are needed for the swap.

Move the chameleon by its broad base, keeping the tail clear.

Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →

A LITTLE PREPARATION

Gather your pieces

Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.

WHEN THE BUILDING IS DONE

Now for the little story.

Swap the two coloured back sections and describe the new pattern. Look through the curl in the tail from the side. Draw a leafy home and invent a slow journey along its branches.
