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 eyes use plain black bricks. The antennae, head and feet are fixed.
Use the matching enlarged Flying saucer and Moon-base hideaway guides for this alien.
Lift the alien gently by its body, with a hand underneath its feet.
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.

Join the feet with a blue 2 × 4 plate across their back two rows.

Centre a green square brick on the blue plate. Leave one blue column showing on each side.
Step 4 of 10

Step 5 of 10
Add: 2 × black 2 × 2 brick; 1 × green 2 × 2 brick
Put a black square at each end of the jaw and a green square between them. Their back rows sit on the front row of the jaw; the front rows project towards you.
Step 6 of 10
Add: 1 × green 2 × 6 brick
Put a green 2 × 6 brick across the back half of the jaw, level with the eyes. It projects one row backwards.
Step 7 of 10

Cover the head with two green 2 × 6 bricks, one behind the other, lined up with the eyes and back of the head.

Stand a green narrow double-height wall brick along each outside column at the back of the head. Each runs over the back two rows.
Step 10 of 10
