Classic House - Lego Style with DIY Mentor LEGOMasterCorey!

If I don't have a LEGO baseplate or certain window/door pieces, what can I use instead?

Use a sturdy piece of cardboard or a thin wooden board as your baseplate and substitute printed paper or small cardstock cutouts taped into wall gaps where you would snap in window and door pieces.

My walls keep wobbling or bricks won't stay together when I stack them four to six bricks high—how can I fix that?

Make the foundation by doubling the single-layer outline into a two-brick-thick wall, interlock bricks by overlapping seams as you stack, press each brick firmly onto the baseplate (or cardboard), and sort pieces first so matching sizes snap together securely.

How should I adapt this activity for younger kids or older builders?

For younger children use larger Duplo or big bricks and limit walls to two or three bricks high with an adult snapping tricky pieces, while older kids can build an L-shape, add room dividers, complex furniture with flat tiles, and a sloped roof using hinge bricks.

What are some ways to personalize or extend the Classic House project after following the basic instructions?

Add personalized exterior decorations like a mailbox or flower beds with small pieces or stickers, create detailed interior furniture from flat tiles, install a hinged or sloped roof for realism, and ask an adult to photograph the finished house to share on DIY.org for LEGOMasterCorey to see.
