Lego gift ideas

DIY Travel Lego Case, What to do with old baby wipes cases, DIY Lego Box, Travel Legos, Wipebox wipes case, Fun wipes case,
So I am going Lego crazy and putting together a lot of lego fun for kid gifts this year. So I figured I would share. First idea I want to share I just found nad not sure if I am going to make it even though I really want to. It is this great travel lego case you can make yourself. Visit this site for more info. I may make one just for the fun of it. The boys are always asking to take some Legos places with them and I always say no. This could change that :)

The next one is a jar that I filled with 144 Lego challenges so there can be endless play for the new Lego builder and to expand the imagination of the experianced builder.  Here is the list so you can use it to.

Yes it is a big list. I placed them in mason jars with a cute tag. I also used cleaned jars from pickles or jam.

I included a Family Fun book to give ideas for family lego play. Not all parents had legos as a kid right. Well I dint know if thats true. But at this link you can print out the entire 10 page color book of great family Lego fun activities. 

Duplo Pattern Towers Busy Bag @ AllOurDays.comLego Brick Tac Toe is one of the fun yet symple things you can do.

On this page you can find printable Duplo Pattern cards. But they can be used for regular legos too. There are quite a few of them and I just threw them into a zip lock bag. It was so nice to find something I could just print out. 



Are you looking for a way to make letters fun? Check out these great lego animals that a mother is creating to add a fun eliment to learning the alphabet. Visit her blog and print out letters A-T.

I also made my own lego counting sheet and a sheet for counting by 2's and 4's.

Along with these lego activities I have sent a 650 piece lego bricks bucket so they will have what they need for these activities.  I hope you enjoy this and feel free to tell others about my blog. :)
