LEGO Education StoryStarter

The StoryStarter Core Set consists of 1,144 carefully selected LEGO elements, including assorted characters, animals, accessories, iconic elements, basic bricks, building plates for creating up to five story scenes, and one extra building plate for building the StoryStarter spinner.

The set also includes two element trays with separate compartments for sorting the elements into categories. The compartments are designed to provide some form of structure to the story-making process. Elements can be sorted in many different ways – there is no right or wrong. However, we recommend you spend a little time organizing the elements either in line with the labelling guidelines shown here, or according to a system of your own:

Characters
This compartment could contain animals and elements for building characters, such as heads, torsos, legs, hair, and hats.

Props
This compartment could contain objects that the characters can hold, such as food, tools, fire, water, crystal, and other elements. It could also be used for iconic elements, such as chains, wheel parts, boxes, and flags.

Setting
This compartment could contain a selection of basic LEGO bricks for the creation of scenes and scenarios that depict plant life and vegetation.

Details
This compartment could contain a mixture of smaller elements for adding finer details to a scenario.

Scenes
This compartment could contain the building plates for scene creation, along with the elements and the building plate for building the StoryStarter spinner. Scenes are referred to as “scene structures”. Each scene structure uses one building plate. A StoryStarter story can consist of one, three, or five scene structures.
