How to Build a LEGO Ghost

LEGO buildings come to life with the addition of characters. Challenge your children's imaginations by encouraging them to create their own characters with LEGO bricks. Start with a simple structure and watch their creativity grow. LEGO bricks attract children of all ages, so exercise caution around small children and avoid exposing them to choking hazards. The factory-recommended age appropriate for LEGOs is 6 and older.

Instructions

  Place one 2-by-2 white brick next to another 2-by-3 white brick to form a starting row that is 2-by-5.
- 2
  Add 1-by-2, 2-by-3, and 1-by-2 white bricks in that order, creating a second 2-by-5 row stacked on the first.
- 3
  Add 2-by-3 and 2-by-2 white bricks to create a third row stacked on the second row.

  Flip the ghost upside down and insert a 1-by-2 brick on one edge. Skip the next space, and add another 1-by-2. Skip another space and finish the row with another 1-by-2, creating feet.

  Flip the ghost right side up. Begin the next layer with a 1-by-2 white brick, followed by a 1-by- 2 black brick. Add another 1-by-2 white brick followed by the remaining 1-by-2 black brick. Finish the level with a 1-by-2 white brick.

  Build the next level with a 2-by-2 white brick and a 2-by-3 white brick.
