Let’s Get Crazy With Legos

Activities for a Whole Week of Lego Camp at Home or  Ideas for a Rainy Day or Homeschooling  Curriculum. 

So, it’s Summer!!!!  It sounded so great didn’t it? A break from all the homework and lunches and schedules.

Maybe you are the kind of mom who is loving the long lazy days, free of the typical school structure and you’re just looking for some fun ways to spend time with the kids – Yay for You!

Or, maybe  you’ve already grown tired of hearing “I’m bored” and the bickering between siblings is driving you batty and basically just need to find a way to keep these wild creatures occupied so you don’t lose your sanity  – I hear ya Sister!

Well, there is one universal toy that seems to be a favorite across age groups and genders and almost every household in America already has some assortment of them laying around . That’s right – Legos!

Lego Camp at Home

Michelle and I have assembled a week’s worth of Lego games, activities, snacks and all around fun for kids from toddler to tween.  Put them all together and host your very own at-home Lego camp or use the ideas individually during the summer or even the school year as rainy day activities or even as part of a homeschooling curriculum.  No matter what you might have in mind, I think we’ve got you covered.

Here are All the Links You Need:

    Life is too short to count sprinkles…First off that is an ADORABLE quote!!! I clicked on it, and read the article that was attached to it. I think this is one of the better blogs I’ve ever browsed around on. For the 2 of you being “newer” bloggers, you’re doing an amazing job. Very informative, visually appealing, and a great read. Thanks for all your hard work.

    Legos are THE favorite of my homeschooled grandboy. He has begun to do more of his own creations in addition to the “sets” that he still loves so much. I’m proud of my homeschooling daughter and son-in-law and for taking on the toughest job they will ever love!

    We’re kinda Lego obsessed at or house – even the 18 month old loves them!
    My 9 year olds favorite thing to do – he creates Lego money and when his 5 year old brother does something exceptional Ryne gives him the money. Later Trey can redeem the “money” for Lego toys Ryne has or extra Lego time together 🙂

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
