BUILD TOGETHER
Traffic-light crossing
10 pieces · 7 steps
Build a red, amber and green signal beside a simple crossing for pretend road users.
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. Make the crossing with two white small plates turned across the base, leaving two clear rows between the stripes.
Step 3. Fill the gap between the white stripes with a black small plate.
Step 4. Stack two black square bricks on the back left corner for the signal pole.
Step 5. Add the green square on the pole for the bottom signal.
Step 6. Add the yellow square above the green signal.
Step 7. Put the red square at the top, then cover it with the black small plate running from back to front. A row projects at each end.
Ready to play
- Call out stop, wait and go while pointing to the matching colour.
- Take turns moving a pretend traveller across the crossing.
- Draw a road on paper and choose where the crossing belongs.
