LEGO 11001 Classic
LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO set "Classic Bricks and Ideas".
Take your first steps into the world of building with LEGO bricks with a simple but fun selection of small builds: you can build a house, a T-Rex, a steam locomotive and a keyboard. But this set also includes additional bricks for your own building ideas!
Open the box. This is tricky for everyone; ask someone to help you!
The box contains a booklet with visual building instructions, a loose base plate, and one small as well as one large plastic bag.
Carefully open the two plastic bags. (They contain the bricks for the small house, the keyboard, the steam locomotive, the T-Rex and additional bricks for your own building ideas.)
Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color.
First, we will build the house.
(It stands on green grass, the walls are yellow and the roof is orange. On top, there is a golden chimney; some flowers grow in the front yard. And there even is a small transparent window!).
The house consists of 18 pieces. The level is easy; however, you might need some help assembling the window.

and 1 bright yellow brick 2x4.
Put the plate 4x4 on the table.
Put the brick 2x4 horizontally on the back two rows.

Put it flat on the table, inner notch to the top, knobs to the back.
Find 1 transparent glass for window frame 1x2x2.

Next, we will build the keyboard.

Next, we will build the steam locomotive.
The steam locomotive is black and different shades of green. Its six wheels and the large chimney promise to take you on exciting journeys at full speed!
The steam locomotive consists of 30 pieces. The level is intermediate because some pieces have a special orientation. This means, for example, that you will have to flip the structure over, or that some pieces are mounted on the side!
