Why You Should Build a LEGO North Pole
Creating the LEGO Santa’s workshop gets children excited because they get to envision what they would expect the North Pole to look like, especially around Christmas when Santa, Mrs. Claus, and all their elves are working around the clock to get ready to bring the children gifts. You can’t go wrong making this LEGO North Pole!
Whether your children still believe in Santa Claus or not, they can enjoy putting together the North Pole with LEGO Santa. This activity keeps the kids busy while improving fine motor skills and helping with concentration. It is one of those activities that you can do together.
How to Build a LEGO North Pole
If you want to build the North Pole and LEGO Santa Claus, follow these simple instructions. You may want to let each child help with certain parts of the building process to create Santa’s workshop design. The first thing you need to do is make sure that you have the following items to help with building the LEGO North Pole:
Santa and Santa’s Elves Minifigures
Brown Flat Plate (with North Pole Text)
Red Bricks
Gold Bricks
Assorted Bricks in Different Colors
If you have these components, building Santa’s workshop should be relatively easy. The steps involved include setting up your white base plate and placing bricks in a specific order to create what appears to be the North Pole. For example, you will use a gold brick as the doorknob to the workshop and place the green round wreath on the front of the structure that you create with your bricks.
Create a winter landscape on the white base plate using various white bricks.
In the middle of the landscape, create a pole of bricks in this order from bottom to top: 1 red 1×1 brick, 1 white 1×1 round brick, 1 red 1×1 brick with knob, 1 white 1×1 brick with knob, 1 red 1×1 brick, 1 white 1×1 round brick, 1 gold 1×1 round plate, and 1 red 1×1 round ball.
On the front of the pole, attach the sign over the white 1×1 brick with knob and the wreath over the red 1×1 with knob. Press the red bow/butterfly over the wreath.
What to Do With Your LEGO North Pole
You can do several things with the LEGO North Pole after building it with your LEGO bricks. You can use it for decorative purposes during the holiday season. Some people like to put these fun pieces on shelves and windows to show people their creative pieces that go along with the holiday season.
However, your children might want to play with these newly constructed LEGO creations. You can encourage your children to use their imaginations while playing with the Santa Claus and mini elf figurines and using the LEGO North Pole as his home. Build as many of these as you would like to have at home. Once you build the LEGO North Pole once, you will easily have no problem creating more of them.
