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.

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.

Meschelle Sheeley says
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!
Kira Lewis says
That is a major undertaking, but worthwhile no doubt! I’m sure they are thrilled to have your support.
Erin Ellis says
I’m always looking for fun lego ideas. I love your writing style! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

Julie says
This is just what I need right about now as the summer boredom and fighting is starting to set in with my boys!
Kira Lewis says
Crazy that it’s already begun, right?!?! We have such ideal visions of summer and then it actually happens and we begin to count down to school starting again.
Tawnya says
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 🙂
Kira Lewis says
We have a great post coming on Thursday that might be just right for your 18month old. What a creative 9 year old you have with his little incetive program. A business mind in the making!
Heidi says
We’re absolutely in love with our Legos!! Provides H-O-U-R-S of creative fun and engineering feats!!!

Looking forward to these posts! It’s always nice to get some creative fun ideas without spending a lot of time looking for them! Thanks for getting ready to share! My kids from preschoolers to teens all love legos, and we will have to try some of your ideas! 🙂

GREAT post coming later today with ideas that work well for both younger and older kiddos. Thanks of checking us out.
Elizabeth says
What a wonderful idea! My three kids love Legos! They also sunburn easily, so it’s nice to get some indoor activities for them. I did not see the actual activities and snack ideas.
Kira Lewis says
I have sunburn babies too! So hard, especially living in Florida. We’re publishing all the activities and snacks as a series this week. So keep checking back each day for more lego fun! At the end, we’ll put them all on one great lego page that will always be accessible on our blog.
Anita says
So excited for Lego Week! We are a Lego lovin’ house.
Becky Guttery says
We are Lego Fanactics! Great idea!
