Oh, would I ever be able to relax and enjoy my vacation
What I love about the books besides the fact that they are intriguing to kids and build reading fluency and vocabulary skills is that they have great illustrations.
They show actual artifacts, clothing, and people throughout history as well as current places to naturally build geography skills through familiarity.
The series is humorous and contains lots of great facts presented in an entertaining way, he definitely has earned a portrait of his own.
The majority of the bricks needed for this craft, or a very close substitute can be found in the LEGO Classic Large Creative Brick Box.

Geronimo Stilton LEGO Tutorial
The cone we used for the nose is not in the basic brick boxes, but you may have it in your stash, if not there are other tapered bricks that can give you a similar look.
I highly recommend that even if your child has a lot of LEGO bricks already that you purchase one or two of these and keep them separate from all other bricks to use for builds like this.
They are also really fun for challenges and can be used during reading aloud to keep hands busy.
You will need:
- 2 LEGO Eyes
- 1 single brown round stud
- 2 Pink 1×2 LEGO Bricks
- 9 Tan 2×2 LEGO Bricks
- 6 Tan 1×2 LEGO Bricks
- 2 Tan Studs (single)
- 3 Red 2×2 LEGO Bricks
- 6 White 1×2 LEGO Bricks
- 10 Green 2×2 LEGO Bricks
- 2 Green 1×2 LEGO Slope Bricks
- Small baseplate
First, place your 9 tan 2×2 LEGO bricks in the center of a small baseplate to form a square, any plate 16×16 and larger will work great.
Place your 3 red 2×2 bricks right down the center right to the bottom edge.
Now put the white 1×2’s down either side of the red to form his shirt and tie.
Place three 2×2 green bricks down either side and then 2 of the 2×2 green bricks outside of that, topping them with a sloped brick to create the appearance of shoulders/arms.
If you don’t have those sloped pieces, no worries, just use another couple 2×2 bricks.
Starting at each of the top corners of the head make ears by placing your 3 tan 1×2 bricks and the single 1×1 tan brick in a “circle”
Fill in with a pink 1×2 brick.
Finally place a brown round single stud on top of a cone or other sloped piece and press in the center of the face and add your eyes.
