How to build it
- Get the blocks from the list above.
- Pick a flat spot that is at least 19 by 5 blocks.
- Press Start building. The guide shows one layer at a time. Put blocks on the yellow squares and press I placed them.
- After each layer you get a little party. After the last one, you get a badge in My builds.
Good to know
- Build the gold runners first, then the red floor on top, then the sides, the seat and the presents.
- The reindeer are our own simple shapes: brown wool with light antlers and a red collar.
- Put it on a roof next to a chimney, so it looks like Santa just landed.
