What you'll build

This Theme Build provides step-by-step instructions for one working patrol car. A gearbox motor drives the wheel, the LEDs flash, and a switch sets off the siren. Follow the word-free assembly diagrams, then take it apart and invent your own variations using the same components.

What's included
  • 175+ assorted building bricks
  • 1× High-Torque N20 Motor
  • 1× Wire Block (1×2)
  • 1× Crossover Connector
  • Word-free step-by-step build instructions

Electronic components come from your Intro to Circuits Kit.

Ages & difficulty

Designed for ages 8 and up. Word-free assembly diagrams keep younger builders independent; older builders can dig into how the circuit works.

LEGO compatibility

Every block uses the standard 8mm stud spacing, so this build clicks onto LEGO, DUPLO (with a base plate), and most major brick brands.

"Screen Free Learning, compact and affordable"

We just got our Spark Blocks kit and just was so worth it. Our almost 7 year old was self motivated to start building the second he opened the box. no bribing required.

"A perfect family activity!"

The kit was easy to use, engaging, and I was floored at the diverse ways you could execute different designs. Even for a toddler, she was highly engaged in the building and circuit activation.

Frequently asked

Do I need the Intro Kit to build this?

Yes. Theme Builds use the electronic components from the Intro to Circuits Kit. If you don't have it yet, add the Intro Kit first. This build then puts those same components into a new shape.

What ages is this for?

Designed for ages 8 and up. Word-free assembly diagrams keep younger builders independent; older builders dig into how the circuit works.

Does it really work with LEGO?

Yes. Every SparkBlock uses the standard 8mm stud spacing and clicks onto LEGO, DUPLO (with a base plate), and most major brick brands.

Do I need an app, computer, or Wi-Fi?

No. SparkBlocks are deliberately screen-free. Everything you need is in the printed assembly guide.

    Nice design and easy to build.

    Tuned it, now it's driven by dual motors ;-)

    I love the endless possibilities of spark blocks.

    The car is approximately 16x10x8cm.

    Very cool custom tuning work, thanks for sharing the photo too! Dual motors definitely make that Patrol Car feel extra fun. 🚓⚡ (I find myself wondering how you made both go the same direction! Do you mind posting that in our community? https://www.facebook.com/groups/sparkblocksvips )

    Enjoying

    My granddaughter of 8 is enjoying these spark locks. She plays with them enthusiastically with some help from my son.

    So glad to hear this Bohm! Thanks for sharing and love that speedy car with it's flashing light! (And possibly best part is when different generations get to play/learn/work together!) 💪

    Fun!

    So much fun putting it together and even better when it was done!

    That’s a clean build 👌 The Patrol Car is a fun one to tweak once it’s up and running too. If you end up modifying it, would love to see what you add.

    Solid product

    Build is straight forward. Work and look like a police car. Couple things could be better. I can't have it drive and light up. I feel like I need an extra switch block.

    Tam, I really appreciate this (and the photos, great build 👌). You’re right: the siren is on a pushbutton rather than always-on, partly to keep things from getting… loud for parents 😄. And now you're a builder: if you want drive + lights at the same time, tweaking the circuit is the way to go. That’s where it gets fun ⚡

    Patrol Car Review

    The one we built looks almost like the model, not sure why we don't have the roof on ours, but it functions the way its supposed to, I think. Mostly. We could not get the 2 way LED to function properly to switch back and forth from red to blue, probably an easy and simple fix, but it should have worked to build it according to instructions. This is why it was given 4 stars. I've included pictures and videos of it working. We live in our house, so its not show ready and there's music playing.

    Thanks so much for the review, Phillip, and for sharing photos and video! Quick note on the LED: it’s a bi-directional LED, so flipping the block 180° switches it from red to blue (it’s not automatic or flashing). Totally fair feedback on the instructions, though, thank you.

    Appreciate you building with us and taking the time to share your experience! ⚡️
