The Latter-Day Saints are selling Build-Your-Own Temple Toy Kits . . . Taking that old-fashioned Holiday tradition of making Gingerbread Houses to the next distorted level - Spreading the Faith, with a play-on-words of the name Brigham Young:
Brick’em Young Toy Brick Temple Models Let Kids Build the Kingdom—Literally!

Faithful LDS parents raise their children to be “builders of the kingdom”—a message that Suzanne and Tim Calton and their four children take to heart.
“We live in China, where we don’t have temples. So every time we visited a temple outside of China, we always collected a postcard of that temple and taped it to the wall in our China home,” Sister Suzanne Calton says. Postcards turned to hand-drawn pictures, pictures led to models made from toy blocks, and it wasn’t long before the Caltons came up with an idea to make building the kingdom personal—and fun.
The Caltons are the founders of Brick‘em Young, a toy block company that produces temple building sets. Similar to (and compatible with) Lego blocks, the Caltons’ block sets enable customers to construct models of LDS temples.
This downloadable instruction manual is free of charge. You don’t have to purchase a Brick’Em Young to enjoy. All copyrights, trademarks, intellectual property and other information belong to Brick’Em Young. Hope you enjoy building this set!
