LegoMyMamma Posted April 5, 2019 An Easter Egg Hunt event hosted by Friends - Olivia waves an event ticket and pulls a wagon with their Easter Egg sign so mini-dolls walking by can know of the event. Zobo follows behind making sure the Eggcellent sign doesn't fall out! - They've decorated their clubhouse, the Friendship House, with Spring and Easter items to welcome their open house guests. Are you going? - From the balcony Andrea makes an announcement over the loud speakers: "Hop hop hop along in everyone!" :-) - So the baby bunnies take her que and hop to Mia by the giant Easter Egg Basket, spinner ride and bouncy house! - Making sure the driveway is clear ~ Stephanie cranks up her Crazy Egg Car in the garage! Watch out Zobo -- it goes every-which-way! Her doggy Dash is smart and hides in the dog house that belonged to the former Fire Station's dog ... hmm, I wonder what breed of dog that was? ;-) - Wait, where's Emma though? Oh, she's in the kitchen painting Easter Eggs! - There are 5 Easter Eggs hidden in and around the house -- can you find them? - Then, watch the baby bunnies get their photo taken in a "bucket of colored eggs" by Emma. Bunnies hop to the Bunny Bouncy House and Spinner ride! Castley balcony lookout and pool top ... Andrea yells to Mia about the bunnies ... Rumble and a friend are busy in the hamster hutch ... under the slide ... Friendly critter hiding in the tree ... Inside the clubhouse, and kitchen with back patio ... Bunny gets a picture taken in a bucket of colored eggs! Giant Easter Basket and other highlights of the setting ... ____________________ The Friendship House was renovated a little more than what the girls did already: - Now the twisty fire-fighter's pole in enclosed, making 2 flagged rooftop towers -- sort of castley -- with a rounded-out top balcony. - A 5-heart bunting has been strung across the front -- to represent them all. - The front lawn has been landscaped and the driveway extended. - The side Patio has been expanded with a larger grill, five chairs, and the slide is covered. - Out back the tree with swing has grown to shade the yard. Can you spot a friendly critter whose home is there now? - Plus, the old Fire Station's Dog House was found and cleaned up for Stephanie's dog Dash. - Under the patio extension is where Rumble and his friends play in the Hamster House. - The kitchen gained outdoor seating -- with matching color stools. - Inside the garage has been cleaned and the sleeping room enclosed with the fire-fighter's ladders access added to the back. - Rooftop pool is fitted with plumbing. Great place for enjoying a pizza! - Back to the front -- the garden grew a little bit, and so has the bunny population! Happy Spring! Happy Easter! ~~~ As seen on LEGO Life ----------------------------- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mylenium Posted April 5, 2019 A bit too Friends-y still, perhaps? I would have changed the building itself more drastically like e.g. getting rid of this stupid bedroom. Since you already built a second "tower", perhaps the observatory could have been expanded as well with a bigger telescope? Mylenium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoMyMamma Posted April 5, 2019 @Mylenium An observatory in a tower for sky viewing, rather than just a "lookout" telescope, is a great idea -- wish I'd thought of that when building. Those sleeping mats could be moved to the rooftop for Stargazing! I may have to incorporate that into a future build. Thanks! As for it being too Friends looking: well it is a set from that line, plus I should have mentioned in the post that it was requested from TLG's social media team for a Friendship House build that can show kids and parents some ideas of what to do with their set once built. It was shown on LEGO Life (geared to age 5-10) and so I hope an Easter themed event could inspire other type of events for the clubhouse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 5, 2019 Very nice house and original use of the plates 3 x 2 to create the hearts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted April 6, 2019 Looks great and very Friendsy!! Love the swing in the tree and the very Crazy Egg Car. I think I count 6 eggs ...

ExeSandbox Posted April 6, 2019 That's a lovely MOD to the set! It looks so much more alive now. Really love the swarm of bunnies, it's pretty hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpx Posted April 6, 2019 Great work! I showed it to my daughter (6) and she loves it. Now, we have to build one for her! ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BarBee Posted April 11, 2019 Well, it's very Friendish, but it has to be, right? It's definitely inspiring for youngsters, and a great activity for all looking for the eggs (it took me a while to notice them as I was expecting smaller ones). Overall, nicely done!

Reveal hidden contents On the balcony, near Andrea Bottom of slide, towards letter box Under the slide In the kitchen The one that Emma is painting In the Easter Basket near Mia and the bunnies. The Crazy Egg Car is the inspiration for the whole scene -- I should have made a video because every time you push it ... it goes in a different direction And I should have specified "painted" eggs, oops -- so the one in the kitchen is the one Emma is painting, yet there is another on in the house ...

Inspiring youngsters was the brief, so by doing that and 'entertaining' a few AFOLs at the same time makes me smile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
