Blogging about Lego Clubbin and other library program ideas
Not sure how well this one will work, but was really excited to share it. I think it's interesting when you have to design a more abstract concept, instead of something more concrete. Anyone can build a castle, but it can definitely take some more thought to make something like this. Not sure how I came up with... Continue Reading →
My kiddos always love collecting the most interesting minifigs for their builds. For some kids, it's the first thing that they go for. So this challenge kinda celebrates minifigs by trying to duplicate them by making them as BIG as you can! Don't think there's a whole lot of setup for this one, you just need to... Continue Reading →
Was trying to come up with a new idea and thought about trying to make one big maze, and kids could each have their own section. That might be something I come back to, but then I realized that what I was trying to make was just a big puzzle, which made me think of... Continue Reading →
Highly recommend this one right off the bat. I thought my kiddos might have some problems with it, but nearly everyone got into the theme and went in directions I didn't see coming. That's really the best part--being surprised but what your kiddos can achieve. So after rules, I told them that the theme was... Continue Reading →
So excited to finally write about this one...so that I can finally break apart what I built. Seriously. This tower has been on my desk for over two years now. Don't know why I kept putting this one off--just taking photos, writing, and creating thumbnails can take awhile, so...guess it was just easier to have... Continue Reading →
Think this is going to be a good one that kids will enjoy. Was thinking about the Goldilocks house (like we all do) and thought about that the bears must have three of everything, right?? Not just beds, bowls, and chairs. Three of every object imaginable. So, that's what we are building today. So after... Continue Reading →
People have often asked if I have ever done a Lego Club just for adults. Never have, but this might be a PERFECT challenge for them. I thought of this idea while I was shoveling snow this week. I slipped and fell on some ice last year, so was thinking of bad things to step... Continue Reading →
Have a BUNCH of new ideas coming at you over the next couple of days and weeks. Gonna start with a little bit of a crazy one for Lego Club. Like I said in my Lego Club management post here, I always take photos at the end of Lego Club with my kiddos and what... Continue Reading →
This one came to me a little randomly. I often ask kiddos to make 3 or 4 panel comics as one of the learning activities for our Summer Learning Program. Comics are an easy way to both tell a story and exercise your artistic muscles. As I'm sure you know, kids love telling stories with... Continue Reading →
It's been awhile, but I have a new Lego challenge idea! Was looking through my old challenges and came up with an idea similar to my Monster Mash-Up challenge I did a few years back. So this idea is about building a Mirror World! So you'd build one half of a car, or an animal,... Continue Reading →
