How to Make a LEGO Peach
Legos are one of the most popular toys in the world, and for good reason: The basic bricks and plates can be used over and over again to stimulate and challenge your imagination. Legos offers numerous themed designs, including high seas adventure, medieval castles, spaceships and aliens, and more. But Legos can also be used to make mundane objects, including a peach. Although a spherical object like a peach might seem difficult to reproduce in Lego form at first, in fact it's quite simple to make and can be done in less than half an hour.

Place a 2 x 2 yellow or red plate on the table in front of you. Choose various bricks of yellow and red to make up the mottled body of the peach. Place a 2 x 2 tabbed, 1 x 1 holed sloped brick in the each of the four corners of the plate. These sloped bricks form the first level to your peach and give eight tabs to work with in the next level.

Tips & Warnings
Make bigger peaches by starting with a bigger plate and having more sloped and square bricks to work with. For example, a 4 x 4 starting plate needs eight bricks total to form the first row: four 2 x 2 tabbed, 2 x 1 holed slopped bricks and four 2 x 2 tabbed, 1 x 1 sloped corner bricks.
