How to Build a LEGO Dinosaur

Perhaps there are no two toys more beloved by young boys than Legos and dinosaurs. So why settle for one or the other, when you can have both in a single toy? Lego makes an entire line of dinosaur construction sets, but the most iconic is the Tyrannosaurus rex. Make the legendary killer and let your imagination return you to 65 million years ago.

  Snap the external body pieces onto the central body supports. There are two external body pieces with a cylindrical rod extending from their flat side.

  Connect the two body assemblies by snapping the two sides together, with the rounded ends pointing outward.
