Monumental project: Castle with dragon

Once they have mastered the individual models, little ones can enjoy fun on a grand scale by building a monumental castle with a toy dragon. This ambitious project combines multiple building techniques and uses a large number of the included pieces to create an epic fantasy scene.

The castle includes towers, walls and architectural details, while the dragon adds an element of adventure and magic. The translucent bricks create window effects, magic crystals and mystical elements that make the whole scene sparkle spectacularly.

Special elements that add magic

This set includes unique special elements that make each creation truly magical:

Coloured translucent bricks

The star feature of the set is the transparent and translucent bricks in multiple vibrant colours: yellow, pink, turquoise blue, crystal clear and more. These bricks allow you to create light effects, transparency and sparkle that make the creations stand out visually.

Pieces representing eyes and mouths

The set includes expressive facial elements that give personality and life to each creation. Little ones can experiment with different expressions for their characters, from happy smiles to surprised or cheeky faces.

Brick hangers for display

An innovative feature is the 4 hangers made from bricks, which let little ones decorate their bedrooms and homes with their creations. These hangers turn the models into functional decorations that can be proudly displayed on walls, doors or shelves.

Limitless creativity

Beyond the twelve models with instructions and the monumental castle, this set is designed to encourage free building and creative expression:

• Combine models: Create scenes by bringing together several characters and elements
