The great thing about a LEGO® set is that when you are done building you can re-use the parts to build something completely different. These alternative building sets are called alternates and offer extra building fun. Of course, you can let your imagination run free, and we certainly recommend this, but you can also recreate beautiful alternates made by designers. Today we'll show you alternates that let you build cool LEGO® animals from existing sets.
The following alternates were designed by Tomik from buildinst. On his website you will find even more alternates with free building instructions.

With the 31088 Deep Sea Creatures set you can build 3 sets anyway since this is a 3-in-1 Creator set. You can build this blue elephant with the instructions from the link below. This building set is very popular for alternates, because you can also build the following LEGO® 31088 alternates with the parts of LEGO® Deep Sea creatures.

Make this funny sheepdog from the 31100 sports car parts. LEGO® 31100 is also a 3-in-1 Creator set and with the building instructions for this dog you can build a fourth set for free.

Use 110 pieces from set 31087 to assemble a LEGO® parrot. This blue-yellow bird likes to keep you company when you are building new creations.

Another alternate build for LEGO® set 31087! In addition to a parrot, you can also build this LEGO® dolphin with the same LEGO® bricks.
