lego quest

We have Legos.  Lots of Legos.  Not as many as some people I know do, but we have lots. Some time ago, I came across a website called Lego Quest.  It was started in 2010 and the owner posted different challenges of things to build with Legos.  She invited people to send in pictures of the Lego creations and posted them a week or so later.  The only real rule was that you had to build something using your own creativity--no using the Lego designs that came with a package of Legos.  So if the challenge was a car, you had to design your own.

I thought this was a great idea.  So I copied down all the Quest challenges into an Excel spreadsheet and made columns for each of my two older kids.  As they build things, they will check off what they made and I will take a picture of it.  I hope to share them here.  I also found a simpler list for my 4 year old so he can participate too.

I added a few and changed a few from Lego Quest, so here is our own Quest list:

 You can look at Lego Quest to see examples of what others did if you're not sure exactly how to approach a challenge.  I'm excited to see what my children come up with!
