We are such a LEGO-loving family. As I speak type, there are LEGO® DUPLO® pieces scattered across the living room and tiny classic LEGO pieces strewn on my oldest sons’ floor. We play LEGOs every. day. But today – we crafted with them, too! When LEGO sent us a new I’m always on the look out for fun ways to help keep my little preschooler entertained and active while his sisters are away at school. I can only play so many board games, games of tag and coloring pages before I have to get some housework done. Plus I think it’s important for him to have some independent play time. I was thrilled to see how much he loved playing with his new LEGO® DUPLO® Treasure Attack set in the mail last week, we decided to use some of the plastic pieces for a kids Christmas craft. Check it out…
We love crafting with our LEGOs. We did some simple stamping on paper picture frames at Sawyer’s LEGO Birthday Party a couple years ago, and the kids loved it! So for Christmas, I thought we could use the LEGO DUPLOs square and rectangle shapes to stamp a Christmas tree. Here’s what we used…
Supplies:
First we used the square and rectangle shapes on the bottom of the LEGOs to stamp a Christmas tree onto white paper.
Finally, we stamped the top of the square LEGO brick onto some yellow paper and cut around it to make a star for the top of our tree. And we cut a square out of brown construction paper to make a tree trunk.
Glued all of the pieces on a piece of green paper and we has our easy-peasy kids Christmas craft ALL DONE!
After we were done with out Christmas craft, the kids took off putting together their new LEGO DUPLO set. The 46 piece Treasure Attack set included simple instructions and big pieces to make a cool castle, a catapult, and even a horse and chariot. So much fun imaginative play to be had! And I’m totally loving LEGO DUPLO over classic LEGOs right now, because all of my kids (ages 2 through 8) can play with them safely. And they all still love playing with them, too!
