| Legos are small plastic pieces that fit together to create things. They also strengthen our imagination. More importantly, we get to make cool stuff out of Legos, like Lego mansions for the Lego people, to an awesome amusement park. Legos allow you to build just about anything, even the white house or the grand central station!
If you have never encountered one of these small plastic miracles, I suggest you go onto one of the links to buy them, and then if you still don’t know where to start, we have some amazing little creations you can make! So get some Legos and start building!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 3: JUST BUILD Furniture!
Sub-chapter 1: desk
So you are building your house with Legos and then you realize that you don’t know how to build furniture. I’ll get you started on some simple ideas.
Desk:
First you take any thick Lego block and snap a flat piece on top so it looks like this:

Than you take another block and do so on the other side:

Feel free to add stuff on top, or make it higher by adding bricks on the bricks you already placed:

Sub chapter 2:
BED: this is very much like the desk except you can use a piece of cloth or a smaller flat piece as blankets and a block for the pillow:

Storage bed: Bed or storage? BOTH!
This bed requires special pieces:

Lay the long flat pieces like this:

Then put a large flat piece on top. Make it look like beds then add a small Lego box on the back:

(We have absolutely NO idea which Lego set we got the box, sorry! Instead use your imagination and create a box, or make one out of paper or something)
Sub chapter 3: the chair:
In some Lego kits they have ready made chairs, but you can make your own, too.
Take a long block with 8 bumps on it and attach 3 two bump blocks to the last row of your long block and it looks like this:

Now that I’ve given you some ideas, your mind should be whirring with things to build. Check back later as I should be adding more to this section very soon. Keep building!
