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.

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!

  1. 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.

  2. I stumbled upon your blog while looking for ideas to help my colleagues with Distant Learning Activities to share with their students. Your activities are very practical, thank you for sharing
