How to Build a TV Out of Legos

Legos are a timeless toy. There are several fun and interesting objects that you can create using Legos besides simply stacking the toys. One object you can make out of the plastic pieces is a television.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Start with a flat Lego. Choose a white, square Lego for your first piece of the television. Lay this piece flat on a solid surface and build up from it.

2. Add the second layer. Building up from the white piece, add the Legos that will be the second layer of the TV. This includes three black rectangles for the back row, one long black rectangle for the middle and a long gray rectangle for the front row.

3. Build the next level. On top of the gray rectangle on the second layer, add three more small black rectangles sitting side by side. The two rectangles on the end should have slits in them. Add a small red, three-tiered Lego to the middle of the rectangles.

4. Add the television stand. Place an L-shaped gray Lego behind the red Lego, with the L facing toward the front of your Lego shape.

5. Prop the television upward. You have been building the Lego television as it is laying flat on its front. Prop the television up so that the black screen is resting on the gray L-shaped Lego in the back.

Tips & Warnings

• Use all flat Legos to build your television to make the unit easier to work with.
