Lego Master Challenges

For four days in a row, we have had an afternoon Lego Challenge. We enjoy watching the Lego Masters competition, so we decided to give a home version a try.

Kara especially loves any type of competition and we have thousands of Legos, so it is a good fit for the family. We typically give them 1.5-2 hours, depending on when we start, and it has been great for keeping them occupied and away from the screens. And, I have actually taken pictures!

Our first theme was "quarantine." We only gave them an hour, which was not enough time. On the show, they generally have 10+ hours, but our sweet spot appears to be just under two. We declared Luke the winner in the 5-7 category and Kara the winner in the overall category. Kara did a scene with a mermaid in quarantine and Luke did a house and car.

My favorite part was she had the slides roped off :)

Day 2's theme was Monsters. I  am actually not quite sure what Luke did. But, Kara did a Rapunzel-like tower being attacked, which was great. Jack built something with K'Nex that was cool, but I didn't get a picture and he only spent about 20 minutes on it. We declared Kara the winner in a close match and told Luke that we felt his time was coming and not to give up. For the prize, Kara got to choose the family movie and picked the Princess Bride (all participants get something, I think this day it was a juice box).

Day 3 was Party. Anna decided to join in, but apparently Luke kept taking her Legos, so they decided to work together. Luke and Anna did a Polar Bear Party and Kara did a Bunny Birthday. They were both really cute. But, Luke and Anna were the victors. Luke's prize was also choosing the family movie. He decided on Coco.

The polar bear with the hat was a super cute surprise

I loved the carrot car and sculpted bunny

Today's theme is the "the most bricks". They are upstairs building as I write. I am not a huge fan of being forced to pick a winner, but other than that, I love the challenges and hope the kids don't get tired of them anytime soon.
