LEGO 43219 Disney Princess Creative Castles 

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO Disney Princess set "Disney Princess Creative Castles".
Create Disney Castles for 2 of your favorite Disney Princess characters! This imaginative LEGO Disney set lets you build small castles for Disney’s Belle or Cinderella and their friends Lumiere and Gus, then offers inspiring ways to mix it up. Design the ultimate castle for both Princess characters or come up with something else built from your imagination. There are no limits – only fun times!
The left and right edges of the box cover show a mock-up of the yellow sorting tray included in this set. This mock-up gives a sneak peek of how you can sort the pieces included in this set by color. In the end, you get to decide how to sort the pieces into the different compartments. But this is for much later. The center and main part of the box cover shows a turquoise background with lots of glittery embellishments, and in the center there are Cinderella and Belle in their castles. The two princesses are waving at each other, and they each have a buddy with them! Belle is accompanied by the enchanted chandelier Lumiere, while Cinderella is with her mousey friend Gus. The two castles both have generous archways, 2 side towers and 1 center tower with streamers and beautiful decorations. Cinderella's castle is turquoise, light pink and royal blue while Belle's castle is maroon red, white and lavender. In the lower half of the box cover, some of the additional bricks from this set are depicted: a golden wrought fence piece, a croissant for tea parties, a mirror, a brick with brick carvings, bricks with archways, and much more. In other words: This set not only contains the 2 castle builds and 2 Minidolls with friends, but it also gives you additional bricks for building your own extensions, interpretations and additions to the castles. But first, let's get started with our basic builds!
Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!
The box contains 2 posters with visual building instructions, 7 bags with numbers printed on them, a brick separator tool, and 5 loose pieces: 2 archways, 2 plates 6x10 and 1 half-circle plate 10x10.
Carefully open all the bags. Before you start building, we would advise you to ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!
Of course you can also find your own sorting method: sorting by size, by texture, by type of brick, or whatever you find handy. It's your choice!
First, we will build the Belle Minidoll, Lumiere, and Belle's Castle.
Let's start with the Belle Minidoll with Lumiere.
Note that the upper bodies and heads of the two Minidolls included in this set have identical shapes. They only differ in colors and print. If you are not sure whether you have the correct pieces, ask a sighted person for help.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 lemon yellow ballgown skirt (bell-shaped), (This is the skirt element that has more volume, so it is a bit bigger)
and 1 light nougat brown and bright yellow upper body. (Do not confuse it with Cinderella's upper body.)
Put the upper body on the skirt.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 reddish brown long wavy hairpiece with bun,
and 1 light nougat brown Minidoll head. (Do not confuse it with Cinderella's head.)
Put the head on the body.

Next, we will assemble Lumiere.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 white round brick 1x1, (This piece is printed)
and 1 warm gold three-armed chandelier.
Put the round brick 1x1 on the middle knob of the chandelier. That is the lower knob.
The round brick is printed with Lumiere's face: he has a broad, suave smile on his face that he certainly deems charming but can also be a bit funny. Lumiere is a very nice chandelier though, and one of Belle's best friends in the castle!
Find 3 transparent bright orange single flames.
Insert 1 from the top into the round brick 1x1 and the other 2 into the chandelier knobs on the left and right.
The Belle Minidoll with Lumiere is finished! Well done! Belle is wearing a beautiful golden off-the-shoulder dress; its skirt is embellished with 3 red roses, white ruffles and golden decorative stitching. The bodice has a single red rose in its center and golden decorative stitching in vertical lines. The shoulder bands are also made from white cloth. Belle has dark pink lips, long eyelashes and hazel eyes. She has a friendly look on her face!

Put them horizontally on top of the two previous pieces.
Find 2 medium azure blue bricks 1x2x5.

They would look lovely in front of the castle walls! How about looking for the pretzel piece and the croissant piece as tasty treats for Gus and Lumiere? Did you already notice the teacups, and how about the hairbrush? There are so many things to explore and have fun with!
Enjoy!
