Another Favorite Day

We restarted and rebranded our Lego Unschool Club today.

Although I offered a variety of Harry Potter sets to explore, unschool principles reign and everyone persued their own interests.

My elder son continued work on his latest stop motion film for his YouTube channel: Z-Boys Creations.

A mother and daughter team tackled one of the older Hogwarts sets.

A young man brought The Lego Christmas Ornaments Book to create a Santa decoration.

One family with younger boys enjoyed our collections of Duplo, comics, and magnetic poetry. And some of the boys went for a walk after their building.

I feel extremely blessed to be able to share the resources that have filled our learning lifestyle. New and familiar faces joined us and I hope to maintain our home as a gathering place for home educating families.

Cobwebs and Lego

I’m a little superstitious about spiders. I’m not quick to sweep webs out of my house and I always try to save my favorite arachnids

Our vampire mariachi and dinosaur tooth cast have been perfectly accented by this windowsill web.

Our life may be a bit dusty, but it is full of these wonderful, tiny moments.

Legoland Adventure Day

We love to visit Legoland Discovery Center during their Homeschool Weeks.

The highlight for my boys is the minifigure trading. They load up their fanny packs with minifigs and exchange with employees (and the occasional visitor) to refresh their collections.

I enjoy the chill atmosphere and relaxed building time.

Rebuild

Isaac started taking apart his space shuttle before we got to the car.

He’s been building like this his whole life, using loose bits to create something original.

His brother and I took his lead and made our own little models.

Minibuilds Are Back!

This is the second month that Lego Stores have been hosting free minibuild events since the Lockdowns.

I’m unclear about official sources for the Lego Store calendar, but Toys N Bricks has been a reliable source of information on sales and events.

I love the colors of this space shuttle and I’m amazed how this shape still fascinates people years after the shuttles were retired from use (I’m ready for a Concorde).

31 Days of Lego: 2022 Wrap Up

As we packed up our display for the 2022 Delaware Fun-A-Day show, I realized I hadn’t recorded and posted all of the builds.

These three were built by friends and family and helped our project stand out among more traditional media.

31 Days of Lego: Complete!

We’re all packed and ready for the big show.

I’m anxious about how to display all the builds, but excited to set it up and help with other presentations.

A Little Lego Therapy

We’ve had some challenges lately and it was good to have friends over to build with us.

31 Days of Lego: Stephano, Trinculo, and Caliban

In this scene from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Stephano, Trinculo, and Caliban sneak towards a murderous plot. The first two drunken fools are distracted by a clotheline of fancy articles while Caliban loses his patience and rages against them.
