Baby triceratops
Three orange horns and a wide green frill give this little dinosaur a bold face. Four short feet support its chunky body.
Before you build
Find the right shape
Match the shape, size and colour to the parts pictures. A stud is a round bump on top. Count rows and columns from one edge.
Follow the pictures
New pieces keep their full colour. Earlier pieces are lighter. Keep the front of the model facing you unless a step says to turn it.
Build and play together
Gather all the pieces first, then take each step at your own pace. Help your child press pieces together and lift removable parts gently.
The horns, head and legs stay fixed.
Lift the dinosaur underneath its body, keeping fingers away from the horns.
Gather pieces
Everything you need
Colours show the pictured version. Brown represents Reddish Brown. Match shapes and quantities first; other colour choices have not been checked for this edition.
