How to Make a River Out of Legos

Add a touch of nature to a LEGO city or scene by building a river. You could also base the entire LEGO scene off the river. For example, add items like trees, tigers and monkeys to make a jungle scene. What you can add onto the river depends on the type of LEGOs available. Hundreds of types of LEGOs exist. Some types of LEGOs come in particular sets, like those based off movies. A large general LEGO set will contain what you need to make just the river.
