Description

A tree house on the savannah

At the centre sits a tree house resting on a wide reddish brown trunk, topped by a leafy canopy in white and tan. Medium nougat adds warm accents to the platform, railings and small side additions. The build relies on plenty of organically shaped pieces so the trunk and branches read as natural rather than as a boxy structure. With 152 distinct part types, the set is one of the more shape-rich builds in its size class, which keeps construction varied and keeps introducing new techniques, for instance where branch meets platform. Small touches such as leaf clusters and vine-like elements add to the natural look, along with small ledges that work as lookout points.

Three models from one set

As with all Creator 3-in-1 sets, the bricks in 31116 do not stop at the tree house; according to the instructions, they can also be rebuilt into two further animal-themed models. That makes the set unusually long-lasting, since finishing the first build is not the end but an invitation to keep going with the same bricks. The two minifigures suit the safari theme and can be used differently depending on which model you choose, whether as an observer by the tree house or right in the middle of the scene. The parts list on this page helps you search for particular shapes or colours for your own rebuilds and additions.

Size class and building experience

At 397 pieces, the set sits in the mid-size range, though the rebuild option offers considerably more building time than the piece count alone suggests. The first tree house build focuses on organic shapes and warm natural tones, setting it apart from classic, boxy building sets. Once finished, the model works well on display, since the combination of trunk, canopy and platform stays interesting from several angles and holds its own without any background scenery.
