New LEGO sets! What more could you ask for in the new year?! Well, if I’m honest, someone could gift me the new LEGO Creator Expert Bookshop, I would be the happiest girl ever! That set was made with me in mind!!! Look at this gorgeousness:
But I digress. The LEGO Friends Turtle Rescue Mission set is totes adorable! Really, it is!
Why is it so adorbs? The goshdarn so freaking cute baby turtles!!!
Let’s get started! Just FYI…we don’t use the Friends figs in Moorogel. We use only LEGO minifigs. The Friends are all chillin in a box somewhere… Oh well.
The first step was a little bottle holder/warmer for our rescued turtles. It’s cute! It doesn’t like to stand up very well on it’s own, so we added it to another piece of the set.
Next was a little mini-build where a baby turtle was hatching. The “broken” turtle eggs are cool pieces. This is the piece that we added the bottle holder to. Look at that newborn baby turtle! Awwwww!
On to the rescue boat build. It’s a cool boat! With wheels. Whatever. It comes with stickers for the hood of the boat, but Don Manuel doesn’t like stickers, so we don’t use them very often.
Finally, we built the little rescue hut. It’s got enough little details that I was quite satisfied with it.
This was a quick and easy build, and it fit right into Moorogel. We kind of made an island out in the ocean for it to reside. Pretty sure we’ll have to get the LEGO Friends Dolphin Rescue and Lighthouse Rescue now too. They would really round out the “island” area.
