A Mom with A Lesson Plan really got us going this morning with her lego ornament challenge.
Her instructions for Creative Kids Lego Challenge #8: Make tree ornaments from legos. Then share a story about the ornament's past. Pretend that your ornament is very old. Create a story about how this ornament joined your family. Does it have a special spot on the tree? Has it always been loved?
I quoted the kids' renditions of their stories just below their creations. Then we submitted our "work" to the gallery.
Milla's ornamental tower.
"My fairy brought to me this tower. She sleeps in it and plays. I like to look for her hiding in it."
Micah's super-cool square ornament.
"I found this square in a box in Mommy's craft room. It was with some stuff for a little girl. When I touched it, I felt funny, like magic. So I picked it up and put it on the tree next to the baby ornament. The baby ornament likes to look at it. I think this one must be that little girl's favorite, but nobody in my house knows anything about the little girl. Maybe it's a mystery."
Max's planet ornament.
"This ornament is actually a part of a meteor that came from a planet known as Morkindabble. It's a planet made entirely from legos. Scientists have no idea how it manages to survive in the solar system, and most don't even want to admit that it exists because it's so un-scientific. Seriously, a lego planet?
But it DOES exist- and this ornament is proof. I hung it on the tree by sticking the tiny hole in the side through a branch so it looks like it is orbiting."
