Build a birthday memory box

4.4
Minifigures looking at different trinkets

The kids are another year older! You all did so many amazing things last year. Just look at the souvenirs and trinkets they’ve collected. Do they remember where and why they picked them up? Let’s build a special LEGO® memory box to keep those memories safe.

Steps

  • Step 1

    Gather all the souvenirs and knick-knacks together

    Minifigure with shells and collectables

    All those shells from the beach, the funny-shaped stones, the coins, the friendship bracelets – whatever it is you’ve collected over the last year. Ask what’s special about each of them? What made you keep them?

  • Step 2

    Build an awesome box to put them in

    A box made from LEGO bricks

    Start by finding two large baseplates (these are the big flat pieces) of the same size: one for the bottom of the box, one for the lid. Then build the walls – finish them with tile elements and just a few small plates in the corners. That way the lid will go on and off easily.

  • Step 3

    Decorate the lid of your box

    A LEGO box with the number nine on it

    How about building a big number – wait, how old are you now? Really?! OK, let’s build that number on top! Then put all those little memories into the box and close the lid. Keep it somewhere safe – next year, you can build another box to put next to it.
