LEGO 41715 Ice-Cream Truck
LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO Friends set "Ice-Cream Truck".
Flag down the LEGO Friends Ice-Cream Truck and buy a cool treat. Choose from an ice cream or a popsicle. Hand over your cash as Roxy makes your order. Join Andrea and Dash at the table and give the patient pup a bone.
The box cover shows a bright day in Heartlake City. In the background, there are several apartment buildings of the city and a park with a lush lawn, trees and bushes. The ice cream truck is parked on a cobbled path in the park. The truck has no roof, and one of its sides is completely open so that Roxy can serve her customers directly out of the truck. The white vehicle has light blue sides, some fun airbrushing on the front hood, and blue side panels. Dash, Heartlake City's favorite pet dog, is sitting in front of the truck with its bone. Andrea is also standing in front of the truck. She is holding a money bill to pay for the yummy ice cream that is already waiting in the serving tray of the truck. To the right of the truck there is a small picnic table with 2 benches and an umbrella where ice cream lovers can sit down and enjoy their treat in the shade. At the bottom right of the cover, there is a portrait of Roxy and one of Andrea. Let's get started!
Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!
The box contains 2 booklets with visual building instructions, 2 bags with numbers printed on them, and 1 loose piece: a wagon bottom. Ask a sighted person to help you find the correct bag!
Carefully open bag number 1 and any small sub-bags in it. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Andrea Minidoll and the picnic table as well as the Dash figurine.
Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!

The first two cost 1, the other two cost 2 each. The background is white with a blue swirl.

If done correctly, only the shorter part of the l-shaped shaft will stick out.
The larger-than-life ice cream cone sign is finished! Well done! Insert the shaft into one of the two hollow knobs on the back side of the truck. These hollow knobs are at the top edge in the middle just below the flat tile 1x4. You can adjust the orientation of the larger-than-life ice cream cone to your liking, for instance, at an angle so that the scoops of ice cream are pointing to the top right.
Next up, we will assemble the 4 wheels.
Collect the following 8 pieces:
4 white wide rims with hole and spokes,
and 4 black wide rubber tires with high profile.
