How to prepare

  • 1 base plate

  • 16 or more random bricks or classic LEGO bricks

  • 1 bowl

Create 4 cars with the 4 pairs of identical bricks and place them in the bowl.     .

Build a cross with the random bricks, in the middle of the base plate, to create a 4-car parking lot.

Facilitation tips
