Lego Nativity

If you search "Lego Nativity" on Pinterest there are some great ideas!

We found the link to these instructions and decided to make this HOLY scene today.

It was hard to find all the pieces they used, but we improvised and loved the drawings they made!

 

We usually build temples for this blog. The temple has NO meaning without the miraculous birth, life, death, and resurrection of our Savior, the Son of God, Jesus Christ!

In fact, when we enter the temple, we learn of Him and how much He and God the Father love us.

We don't share that enough here on our little spot in cyberspace.

So we want to make it clear to all who happen upon our blog,

We believe in Jesus Christ.  He is our Redeemer and the only way toward heaven!

We celebrate his birth this season and wish you all a

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

 

Hamilton, New Zealand

 Studette built the Hamilton, New Zealand temple with our new LEGO temple kit.

To find out which pieces are in that set, see our instructions tab or click here.

It only took her about an hour.

I really like the detail sticker she put on the steeple with a lable maker.  Inventive.

More Instructions

Check out our New and Improved instructions tab at the top of the page!

The Mt Timpanogos Temple instructions are now posted there in 3 sections.

Guayaquil, Ecuador (small)

Today the kids each made a mini model of a temple from our new set of LEGOs.

 

 

We hope to have instructions soon. Sorry the instructions take a while to post.

So, that makes 4 temples we can build with this set! The next few weeks we will show you each one.

One of the best things about it was the kids could make them easily by themselves at this size. It is not too overwhelming for them. It took less than an hour!

Legolas, Studette and Bob the Builder have had a lot of practice building temples, but every child that comes to our home seems to be creative with LEGO!

 

Today we show you Legolas's version of the

Guayaquil, Ecuador temple in honor of our neighbor, Elder Barney who just left to serve as a missionary there!

Merry Christmas Barney Family!

I really like that this temple has a steeple on the back end of the building.  Unusual.

By the way, we have been wanting to make a large LEGO model lately. Time just hasn't permitted, but don't worry, we haven't stopped! Choir practice has just taken precedence!

LEGO Temple kit for purchase

Currently Sold Out

2/5/16 Thanks so much for your interest.  This has been a fun adventure for us! We have stopped selling kits.  If you would like to buy a brick temple kit, check out www.brickemyoung.com!

After MANY requests we have decided to build and sell a simple Temple along with instructions.  We have assembled 18 LEGO sets that will build the Mt Timpanogos Temple.  This could be a great gift for newlyweds, parents, or grandparents.



This temple is about 8"H x 6"W x 5"D and the price for the 368 pieces is $48 + shipping

The cost for these exact bricks if ordered online from LEGO.com would be $73.81.  We have been able to build up our white LEGOcollection by visiting over a dozen LEGO stores across the country over the last year and filling up small buckets from their Pick-A-Brick walls, which is how we can sell these for less.

The LEGOs will be shipped in a padded envelope and we will post the instructions to our blog the first week of December.  These instructions will also be available for anyone to use, if you want to do this with your own brick collection.

We were looking for something just like this a year ago when we first started building LEGOTemples.  We searched for instructions or something to help us get started and couldn't find anything, so we are hoping to help make it possible for others.

Order Instructions:

1. Send us your order in an email to buildinholyplaces@gmail.com (include your name and address)
2. We will send you our PayPal account information and the amount for shipping.  A set will be held for you. (You can pay by check, but the check will have to clear before shipment)
3. Once our PayPal account has received payment we will send your set to you ASAP.

Send us an email at buildinholyplaces@gmail.com to order.
