Here’s a back-to-school building idea! The best LEGO building activities use basic bricks. These LEGO apples are quick and easy to build and offer simple lessons in math and engineering.
How to Build LEGO Apples for a Fall STEM Activity
Looking for a new LEGO project to build? These LEGO Apples make a great building activity for multiple ages to work together and still have a great time. Make your favorite colors or mix and match your bricks. Our LEGO hearts and LEGO Halloween are a similar basic brick building idea that’s fun to do!

Check out the LEGO apples you see here and gather your bricks. You can make a very simple LEGO apple using the most basic bricks, such as 2x2s and 2x4s.
You might not have the exact same ones as shown here, but you can make up combinations of these basic bricks. Add two brown 2x2s for a stem and dig out a couple of 1x2s or 1x3s for leaves to finish it off.
Pull out the sloped ones to make a more curvy apple if you have more bricks available! You will need both the inverted sloped bricks for the bottom sides of the apple and the regular sloped bricks for the top sides. I also tried out two cylindrical pieces for the stem. Add your leaves.
💡 LEGO apples are a great lesson in symmetry, engineering, and basic math.
