Lego Obsessed

To say we are enamored with Legos is

putting it lightly.  We have played with

Legos just about every day we have been here.

So, what does a homeschooling mama do?

Make a lesson out of it of course.

We are following directions to make numbers

and dinosaurs (did you know you can find these

online--for free?!)

I found a few copyright free images, so we can

create our own Mini-Figure, color and the sort

the Mini-figs by size, and draw facial expressions.

I also made a graph, maze, some items to measure, 

fun facts, and activities I want O to do with the Legos.

Some of the activities include 

::Create a pyramid

::Create a boat that will float

::Make letters/names with the Legos

::Build a Denmark flag (where Legos were created)  and 

::Make a bridge that can hold up a book.

After all that hard work and research, I discovered I

basically just reinvented the wheel.

1plus1plus1equals1.net already created a great

 Lego themed packet.  So I printed it off too.

My school work contained more creating, and hers 

had more numbers and reading.  Win-Win.

 O was super excited when she got back from

her trip with the grandparents and discovered

school work would include her favorite toy.

We have done a few days now, and we are loving it!

School is so much easier when everyone is enjoying it.
