A free Printable 30-day LEGO challenge calendar to use anytime during the year. Print it out, hang it up, and give it to your kids. Feel inspired and take your LEGO building time in a new direction. I have written out 31 Days of fun LEGO challenge ideas using bricks you already have. Hopefully, it will get you thinking of new ways to use those special pieces that don’t see much action. We love kids’ LEGO activities!

Fun LEGO Challenges
For our printable LEGO challenges calendar, I wanted to develop a few unique ideas to add to some classic LEGO building challenges. If you take a closer look, I have tried to add an extra element wherever possible such as attaching a marker to a car for drawing. This takes a classic Build a Car LEGO challenge and adds a cool new twist.
30 Days of LEGO building fun!
We have made a few other printable LEGO challenges, including our LEGO Math Challenge Cards and our LEGO Travel Kit and Challenge Cards.
Get the LEGO challenge calendar for great activities to keep the kids busy after school, on camp, during school vacation, or when they are stuck inside!
Although these LEGO challenge ideas provide a bit of structure, there is tons of room for creativity, imagination, and design for your kids. It makes a great boredom buster for screen-free fun!

LEGO Challenges
We try not to use many fancy pieces if at all, so anyone can have a go at these LEGO ideas at home.
Discovering how to use the LEGO pieces you already have to make something cool is a great skill for kids to learn early on. You don’t always need more of something. Instead, you need to use your imagination and work with what you already have!

What a great idea! I love that LEGO encourages creativity and imagination, but when I sit down to play with it with my kids I find that we build the same things again and again. This is a great way of sparking our imaginations.
