Frequently asked questions
What exactly are LEGO DOTS?
LEGO DOTS is a super fun and creative craft and design theme from LEGO! Instead of building detailed models, you get a “canvas” – like a bracelet, a desk organizer, or a picture frame – and then you decorate it with tiny, colorful 1×1 LEGO tiles, which are called “dots.” It’s all about personalizing items and expressing your unique style!
How do you play with a LEGO DOTS playset?
It’s wonderfully simple! Each set comes with a base object (the “canvas”) and a generous assortment of colorful dots. You just pick up the dots and snap them onto the studs of the base object. You can create patterns, pictures, messages, or anything your imagination dreams up! There are no complicated instructions for the decoration part, just pure creative freedom.
What kind of things can you build or make with DOTS?
You’re not typically “building” in the traditional sense, but rather “decorating” or “personalising.” DOTS playsets let you make and customize cool stuff like:
- Wearables: Bracelets, bag tags, keychains.
- Room Decor: Pencil holders, picture frames, jewelry boxes, message boards.
- Practical Items: Small storage boxes, mini organizers. The focus is on making everyday items unique and colourful!
Is it hard to design with the tiny dots?
Not at all! The beauty of DOTS is its accessibility. The 1×1 tiles are easy for fingers of all sizes to pick up and place. There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to design, so it’s a very low-pressure creative activity. Plus, if you don’t like your design, you can easily pop the dots off and start again!
