Little footbridge

9 pieces 5 steps · Print instructions

A little before you begin

You will need one 4 × 8 plate and four 1 × 2 double-height wall bricks, as well as four 2 × 4 bricks.

The centre path is two studs wide. This is a footbridge for pretend play; it is not sized for the library’s wheeled vehicles.
