LEGO Easter Eggs: Building With Basic Bricks

Making LEGO Easter eggs is a fun building idea and Easter activity for kids! We love to build with basic bricks and like to find simple LEGO building ideas for different holidays. If you have a stash of LEGO bricks, why not build some Easter eggs and create patterns on them. Even young kids can build fun items using just the basic bricks, so the whole family can have fun together! Check out all our amazing LEGO projects.

THINGS TO MAKE OUT OF LEGO

There are so many complex LEGO building ideas out there that almost always involve a piece that is just to specific for most people to have in their collections.

We have been building fun things like Star Wars characters, Minions, Hearts, Apples, Halloween and Christmas ideas all with basic bricks. Now on to building these easy LEGO Easter eggs!

BUILDING LEGO EASTER EGGS

YOU WILL NEED:

LEGO Bricks {that’s it!}
Basket to display your LEGO eggs (optional)

HOW TO MAKE LEGO EASTER EGGS

I made a sample for my son one evening after bedtime hoping he would want to make more, and he did. My model served as a valuable tool for him to build independently.

I started with a 2×4 basic LEGO brick and went out by one for the first four rows. The next two rows match the 5th row. Then I went in by one for two rows and then in by one again for the next two rows.

Go in one for another row and then in one more for the last row. Check out the above LEGO eggs for the configuration!

Try adding patterns as you build your LEGO Easter egg or go back and add colors along the way!

We had to scrounge around for traditional Easter colors, as we are limited in our pastels. But it doesn’t really matter what color your LEGO Easter eggs are!

Go ahead and make some crazy colored or crazy patterned LEGO Easter eggs to display! How about a rainbow egg?

Can you build a dozen LEGO eggs?

Display your Easter eggs made with LEGO bricks in a fun basket. Add some Easter grass if you have some!

I love finding new things to build with our basic bricks. It just goes to show that you don’t need a huge LEGO collection with specialty pieces to make cool LEGO projects. Though we have a few tips to build your collection here.
