LEGO Club Creations from April 15th

Our theme for today's LEGO Club was "My Own Creation" or MOC. We decided to make group projects. They were truly inspired (and very cool)! Here they are:

The LEGO house
"I love it. It has a bed for the girl and the boy. And the puppy is only allowed inside the house."


Suburban meadow with waterfall
There's a waterfall that falls down into a river with an island in the middle of it, and goes out to the sea over the edge of the board. There are two houses, some telephone poles, some citizens of the meadow, and a marshmallow tree in the middle.


The LEGO house near a volcano
The left side is the front of the house with a tree house in the front yard. The right side is the backyard, a garden with carrots, a bridge over a river of lava, and the garage at the back. There's also a chimney on the house with smoke coming out of it.

LEGO Club + What's New?

From my son:

"In LEGO Club today, we built LEGO toys out of gears and wheels.

LEGO Project of the Month (Leprechaun and his pot of gold):


WHAT'S NEW
I found out about a new kind of LEGO called LEGO Games. So far, there are 5 games of their planned 10 on their Web site. My favorite one is the Pirate Code game because first, it has lots of LEGO blocks to build, and second, it happens to look like it has a great idea of a game.

Plus, there's another kind of LEGO toy called Prince of Persia coming in April 2010. I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Minifig Army

From my son:

"There are 91 minifigs in this army. You can practically have 41 bad guys and my army would just blow the bad guys right up.



One guy is armed with an umbrella as a parachute for high jumps and to poke the bad guys. And there's a shark (at the back right corner) that has a spear and when he pokes someone with it, he destroys every bad guy.

My army is so powerful that all my posts combined wouldn't be as powerful as it."

What happened at LEGO Club today

From my son:

"This is a review from my LEGO Club today. There were 6 of us altogether. The theme was "scenes from Star Wars and other movies." LEGO Club was really fun and we created some cool designs. We had popcorn and CapriSun juice for snacks and we each had one Girl Scout cookie, too.

I built "Destroyer versus Falcon."



Two kids built "Burning Lava" together.



One kid built "Astro Mech Base" and connected his creation to another kid's "Deadly Jail."



My mom made "Award Ceremony."



My sister built 3 creations, "Space Rocket,"



"Home Base,"



and "Big City Meeting."

LEGO link, blog buddies, LEGO joke, and MOCs

Okay, we have several things to share with you today:

1. First, here's a link to the LEGO.com website where you can download the Family Fun monthly LEGO projects. We like to print out these building instructions for our weekly LEGO Club.
   
   Here's our completed February projects:
   
   
   
   
   
2. Next, we'd like to find some "blog buddies." Do you have a blog (that's kid-friendly) that we could check out and link to?
   
   
3. LEGO Joke: What did Han Solo say to the Death Star when it grabbed his LEGO Millenium Falcon in its tractor beam?
   Answer: LEGO, Death Star!
   
   
4. From my son, "Here are three of my best LEGO Duplo creations that I created when I was 6 years old.
   
   This is the "LEGO Sandcrawler". It took me a while to build it. And if you're wondering, it wasn't my first try. I have, in fact, created many other Sandcrawlers, but of all of them, this one was the best.
   
   
   This is the "LEGO 1 Space Shuttle" and its launch platform.
   
   
   LEGO Walter may not look like it, but he can stand on his own. On the back of him, there's a piece of LEGO that sticks out."
