Striped ice lolly

8 pieces · 5 steps

Build a striped ice lolly with a chunky stick and three bright bands of pretend flavour.

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.

Build step by step

Step 1. Lay two white long bricks side by side. Centre the brown long brick directly in front for the stick. All three rest on the table.

Step 2. Join the white bricks and the back half of the brown stick with the red base plate. Its back two rows project beyond the white bricks.
