Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin building, organize your pieces on a flat, well-lit surface to prevent losing smaller components. Follow the provided instruction manual step-by-step, ensuring stickers are applied carefully to clean, dust-free surfaces for optimal adhesion. The set is compatible with standard LEGO System building bricks, allowing for potential customization if you wish to expand your scene with other festive sets. To maintain your Gingerbread House, gently dust it with a soft brush or a dry microfiber cloth; avoid using water or household cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or the stickers.
