Idea Book 1 : The Yellow Wind Mill

This image, sourced from page 3 of the LEGO Idea Book 1 (also referenced as set 238-0), depicts two young children enthusiastically building with LEGO bricks. The construction highlighted features a colorful windmill with a red base, yellow walls, and a red roof, complete with rotating blades, with its three assembly stages detailed on the right. On this web page, we provide step-by-step instructions to help you build this charming windmill, following the three-stage assembly process (1, 2, and 3), allowing you to recreate this classic LEGO design from the 1950s.

All the constructions on that picture can be found on that page.
