For our December meeting, we explored winter themes. We also had the kids bring in a creation that they built at home with their own Legos. As usual, we had all kinds of wonderful builds!
The kids built their favorite part of winter for the mini build. Some kids went for cozy ideas like fireplaces and Christmas trees, while others built models of sledding and snow forts. We even had a few snowy animals and a snow monster or three!
The challenge build was a two-scoop challenge. The kids were given two scoops of bricks (multi-colored and white) and told to create a vehicle, an animal or imaginary creature that lives in the snow. From sleds to snow-floating vehicles, snow monsters to all kinds of animals, and some great snow buildings (and an amazing ice castle!) we had all kinds of creativity on display!
Our theme build was actually a team build. Each kid was given a base plate and access to all the brick bins and told to create a piece of a winter diorama. All together, it was a pretty amazing terrain.
