LEGO® Heart Box

Description

A gift made of bricks

The Heart Box is meant as a Valentine's token: a little heart-shaped box that you build yourself and then give away. It does not take long, so it can be done at short notice before a visit. Anyone who would rather make something than buy it ready-made will find a simple project here. The box opens, leaving room for something small inside, such as a note or a few sweets. The heart itself is made of simple shapes that children can copy.

Two colours, strong effect

Red and white are the only main colours. That keeps the parts list tidy: just 15 different types among 51 pieces, so many bricks repeat. The plain palette makes the heart recognisable at once and effective even from a distance. If you want to check the parts before building, the list on this page gives every type with quantity and colour, so you can see at a glance how much red is in the box. The small number of part types keeps the build tidy, as there is hardly anything to search for.

Not only for couples

Although the set came out for Valentine's Day, it does not have to stay limited to couples. Parents give it to children, friends to each other, and a red heart looks fine on a shelf outside February too. Like other seasonal mini sets it can stand in a row with Easter decorations and other festive models. With no minifigure included, the box remains a pure decoration without a play function. The parts list on this page also helps you reorder single red pieces if something goes missing.

Reusing red and white bricks

Red and white bricks come in handy in many projects, from fire engines to houses and racing cars. Add the Heart Box to your collection on Bricoria and the “What can I build?” tool will show which models you can make with these pieces and the rest of your stock. That way the bricks stay useful long after the occasion has passed. Precisely because the set is so small, little is left over that could not be used again.
