How to Create a LEGO Person

Brightly-colored Lego blocks encourage creativity and experimentation, and can be used in the construction of all sorts of structures. In addition to the basic bricks, people are also included in some Lego sets. These small, squarish beings are just as customizable as the houses in which they live and can be taken apart and put back together in numerous ways. A Lego person can be created by simply attaching arms, legs, a head and accessories to a preformed Lego torso.

Instructions

- 1
  Construct an image -- in your mind or on paper -- of what your Lego person should look like. You should have a clear idea of what type of head he will have, as well as hair, hands and even legs.
- 2
  Collect the needed pieces from your Lego collection. Do not be afraid to disassemble other Lego people, if you want to use some of those unique pieces.
- 3
  Plug the various parts into the torso. The legs go in the bottom hole, arms on the side and the head on the top.
- 4
  Pop-on the hands and headgear. The hands plug into the small holes on the end of each arm, while the headgear -- which includes premolded hair -- fits on top of the head.
- 5
  Clip or otherwise attach the needed accessories to your Lego person. Lego accessories can include anything from swords and guns to coffee mugs or backpacks.
