Building Challenge (#6)

Well, how did you enjoy last week's challenge?  My boys had great fun with the Breakfast challenge.  John Paul constructed an entire breakfast scene in a cafe!  His scene had people eating and a table with pancakes.   Pics to come when I get them off of the camera...hopefully soon!  Alexander decided to build a coffee mug and a box of cereal--but, they're not done yet because he spent more time constructing his robotic mini me complete with a remote control.  Ditto the picture info above.  Penelope just wanted to build planes.  And again, that's okay.
So, for this week's challenge...MUSIC.
Have fun with it and be creative.  Remember, build with whatever you have...Legos, blocks, stack cereal and tissue boxes, whatever you have, just get building! :)

Building Challenge (#5)

Well, better late than never :)  Last week's challenge was Aquarium.  Unfortunately my kids didn't get to it for a few reasons...the biggest one being Grammie and Papi have been in town!  Always a fun and special time.  Another reason was that Alexander received some new Legos for his birthday and spent most of his time building and rebuilding these new sets.  Anyway, the important part was that they spent some time being creative.
This week's challenge is theme is BREAKFAST.  This should be fun :)

Building Challenge (#4)

I knew this week's theme would be a big hit with my kiddos since they love building all kinds of flying planes.  I was hoping to stretch them and I was somewhat successful. :)  Alexander has been building miniature things, here's an example

Pretty cool birdie, right?  Yesterday during a family game time spent playing Creationary, he built a mini police car. Oh how I wish I took a picture of it!
John Paul's fliers are coming along in sophistication.

And Penelope is following in her brothers' foot steps with her building.  You can only see the top of the Lego guy's white helmet in the picture.  She has the basic construction minus the blades on top for a helicopter.

Okay, this week I've got 2 challenges for you.  The first will be a standing challenge that Alexander came up with and one that I'd love to see at any time from all of you...Alexander calls it Mini Me.  I had to clarify with him what he meant...Self Portrait.  So, standing challenge is the Self Portrait.  And, this week's challenge is AQUARIUM.
Be creative and have fun! Remember you can build with anything...lately my kids have enjoyed Legos  :)

Building Challenge (#3)

Another week has gone by already.  Did you have fun creating some zoo inspired creations?  My kids did...and they are still working on them.  John Paul created an entire scene, but the roof came off of part of it and he wouldn't let me take a picture of any of it until it was fixed. Alexander created a zoo sign and something else, but said it wasn't ready yet.  So, I've got Penelope's picture of her cage that she made.

And because she wanted a picture of every side, here are a couple more....

This week's challenge is THINGS THAT FLY! Some ideas are birds, bugs, clouds, space ships, jets, and UFOs.
Have fun!

Building Challenge

How did the building go this past week?  My kiddos had a blast brainstorming ideas of things to build for Hello Summer...pools, beaches, beach ball, sun, playground, ice cream truck, and more!  Alexander settled on creating a "surfer dude surfing."

John Paul created a fantastic beach scene complete with swimmers and sunbathers.

Penelope decided on a beach ball and the decided to create cards for people instead of building. And that's okay :)

Later she built a quick boat.

Now for this week's challenge: Zoo!
Get creative and create :)

Building Challenge

With summer coming up, I've decided to incorporate some fun here.  My kids love seeing their pictures on the blog.  My kids love building with blocks and Legos.  So, I've decided to issue a weekly building challenge every Wednesday.  You can link up pictures of creations built using Legos, Duplos, blocks, you get the idea.  If blogging isn't your thing, then email me the pictures and I'll post them for you :)  Since we just have days left of school, this week's challenge topic is HELLO SUMMER.  Get creative with your kids, by yourself, or just your kids, build and create, take a picture of it, post it, link up or email it to me.  I can't wait to see everyone's creations!
HELLO SUMMER!
Okay, I planned on doing linky parties each week, but am still trying to figure out the hosting part.  So, in the mean time, leave a comment with a link to your creations.  I'll let you know as soon as I get it figured out :)
