BUILD TOGETHER
Parcel sorting depot
23 pieces · 11 steps
Build three colourful sorting bays with matching parcels ready for a delivery round.
Before you build
Find the pieces
Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Use the pictured part and stud dimensions to find the same shape.
Count the studs
Studs are the round bumps on top. Count the lines of studs across and along a piece. When a step leaves a clear row or column, keep that space empty. Match the picture to keep the model facing the same way.
Follow the colour
New pieces keep their colour in each step. Earlier pieces are lighter so you can see what to add. The finished-model picture shows all the colours together.
Choose how to play
Choose one model and check its pieces first. Take it apart to reuse those pieces for another model. Pack-wide lists are optional planning tools; the exact-colour list follows the pictured palette.
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.
Shape-only checklist
Match these shapes and quantities. The full checklist above shows our pictured colours.
Build step by step
Step 2. Join the floor plates across the back with two white long bricks. Each crosses a floor join.
Step 3. Fill each end of the back wall with a white square. Stack a white long brick across each pair of lower wall joins.
Step 4. Add four white wall bricks running towards the front for bay dividers. Leave two clear columns in the left bay and three in each other bay.
Step 5. Cap the back wall with three small plates: red at the left, yellow in the middle and blue at the right.
Step 6. Start the red parcel with a white small plate running towards the front, inside its matching bay.
Step 7. Put the red square brick on the back half of its white base. Leave the front two rows clear to lift the parcel.
Step 8. Start the yellow parcel with a white small plate running towards the front, inside its matching bay.
Step 9. Put the yellow square brick on the back half of its white base. Leave the front two rows clear to lift the parcel.
Step 10. Start the blue parcel with a white small plate running towards the front, inside its matching bay.
Step 11. Put the blue square brick on the back half of its white base. Leave the front two rows clear to lift the parcel.
Ready to play
- Match each parcel to its bay colour.
- Lift a whole parcel by its white base, then put it back.
