For October Lego Club, the kids explored ideas of pumpkins, popocorn, Halloween, National Taco Day, and Mad Hatter Day. Spinning off from “Alice in Wonderland”, the kids were asked to explore scale by building items both large and small, using bricks divided by size. The older kids worked on building catapults and other simple machines from the project kits, and of course, we had some fun free building time.
Here is some of what was built at the meeting:
A ghost in a graveyard
A gun for shooting bad guys
Pumpkin guarding a mummy and an evil guy and a pool
A fractal
A heart mold for Valentine’s
A hawk
Two guards and a king in the middle
A hideout (team build)
A row of army guys
A house
A pyramid
And a Halloween pyramid
A house
A graveyard with zombies
The Mad Hatter tea party from Alice in Wonderland
Pumpkin patch
A little house
And a large house
A giant monster with a house for a head with people inside working the brains
The brains of the giant monster
From the project kits:
A catapult
A mini figure catapulted (look at the top right corner)
Happy building!
