Every Tuesday at Casa de Things is Lego Quest Tuesday! The Things LOVE Lego's but their creativity was staggering to who can make the tallest tower or the fastest car for one of their fairies or ponies. I knew they had more in them so when this website popped up in my Pinterest browsing, I knew it would be a huge hit.
(Are we seeing a theme in these posts? I LOVE Pinterest...there are so many wickedly creative and helpful people out there.)
This particular blog lists 51 different tasks to complete with Lego's - a quick Google search and you'll find many other websites dedicated to these challenges. Given we don't have 51 weeks in our summer, I went through and found the ones I thought they'd have the most fun with while still presenting a challenge: Making a monochromatic picture, a self-portrait, and creating a character from their favorite book to name a few.
Thing 1 is currently reading "The Mouse with the Question Mark Tail" by Richard Peck so she decided to recreate the mouse. So cute!
SO awesome!
Thing 2 is obsessed with the Pigeon books by Mo Willems. This is the yellow bus from "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus."
Thing 2 is also crazy in love with the Rainbow Magic series (fairies and fun, you can't go wrong!) She has read quite a few of the beginner chapter books so she also made a series of fairy wands representative of the books. These two are from "Lauren the Puppy Fairy" (see the ears and tail on the left wand?) and "Pearl the Cloud Fairy."
I love coming home from work every Tuesday to see what they have created! The quests have completely reinvigorated their love of Lego's, which have now made a permanent home with our downstairs craft/activity corner!
