What is a Nugget Build? We’re glad you asked. It can be anything, really. A slide! A fort! A launchpad for the imaginary rocket of your dreams! There are truly an infinite number of builds (as you can tell from the names of today's configurations).

While kids’ imaginations never seem to run out, we figured a little help for those new to Nugget builds wouldn't hurt. That's right, we're looking at you, coffee-mug-clutching parent.

So here are a couple of ideas to get you going, the tried-and-true builds that we return to time and time again.

You're probably familiar with Nugget Build No. 1, the classic couch configuration seen on our Shop page:

We can't wait to see your version of these two Nuggety builds! What would you name them? What do they spark for your imagination? Share your take on #NuggetCreations No. 94 and 802, and we'll repost our favorites.

Excited doesn't even begin to describe how we feel about the creativity of the Nugget community--we'll be back soon with more build ideas to get your imagination running at top speed!
