❄️ BUILD WHATEVER YOU WANT

The finale

No instructions. That's the instruction.

Every other build in this collection told you what to do. This one doesn't. Grab cubes and see what happens.

Build it

Jack: “You've been following instructions long enough.”

  1. 1Grab some cubes.
  2. 2Look at them.
  3. 3Think of something.
  4. 4Build something completely different.
  5. 5Or build exactly what you imagined.
  6. 6There is no Step 6.

Grown-up help, please

Grown-up help recommended, especially for the ice version — freezers, trays and melty puddles are a grown-up job. Never use ordinary craft glue on sugar cubes: simple icing is the only mortar here. If you add any non-edible craft bits, the finished build is for looking at, not for eating. Ice builds melt, so build on a tray and pop them back in the freezer between steps.
