Build your own LEGO® tower

Steps

• Step 1

  Sketch a design

  

  Think about the design of your tower, will it be tall? Draw it out so you know what your LEGO® tower will look like.
• Step 2

  Build a base

  

  You can use a LEGO® baseplate if you have one or create one from bricks.
• Step 3

  Create the foundations

  

  Lay the basic foundation for your tower. The easiest shape is a simple square of four bricks – but a wider base might be more supportive.
• Step 4

  Build your tower up

  

  Top tip: Remember, you don’t need to follow straight lines. Towers often build up to a point. At the top, you could stack your bricks into a triangle shape.
• Step 5

  Finishing touches!

  

  If you’re building a castle, you can add flags, turrets, dragons, princes or princesses. If you’re building a more modern design, you could add clocks, satellite dishes or an antenna. It’s up to you!
