Build your favourite food using LEGO® bricks

It’s our birthday! 2022 marks the 90th anniversary of LEGO® - everybody’s favourite toy brick. 
There’s lots of ways you can celebrate but one of the most fun is by building a big LEGO® number 90. Make it as big and as colourful as you can!

A collection of LEGO® bricks

Paper and pens for drawing

Have a think about how you’ll make your 90. You might want lots of small bricks to build the 9 and then bigger bricks to make the 0. Do you want to make your 90 in one colour or lots of different colours? You can sketch out your ideas before you get building.

Top tip: Parents, turn this game into a fun celebration. Consider putting on some party music, hats, and decorations for a LEGO® birthday party!

Pick your bricks

So, you have your bricks and you’ve worked out how you can build without your 90 toppling over. You’ll also need to grab a baseplate because this will hold your bricks and keep them safely in place. 

Don’t worry too much if you can’t find a baseplate – just make sure you have a nice flat surface to build on.

Pick a baseplate

The waiting is over – it’s time to build your LEGO® number 90. Remember that it’s ok if something goes wrong. You can simply start again and keep building until you’re happy!

Get building!

Celebrate the 90th anniversary of LEGO® in style. Take pictures of your number 90 and show off to your family and friends.

Top tip: Parents, you can come up with some suggestions for different places the 90 can go for some fun, creative photos that really show it off! Maybe take pictures of it in the garden? On the sofa? Or even in the fridge?

Once you’re happy with your pics, you can share them with us on Twitter using the #LEGO90Years.

90_bricks_step_1.png

Get your bricks ready

What can you build with 90 LEGO® bricks that’s wild? Something crazy, like a strange-looking alien? Or could it be a wild animal? You can even draw out some of your ideas.

90_bricks_step_2.png

What will you make?

Have you got what you need?

Take your favourite model apart and rebuild your LEGO® set into something totally new! Ready to get started?

How you do it is up to you. You could take it down piece by piece and think about what you can do with each brick or push it over and watch it collapse!

Rebuild_Lego_Set_Assets_Step_1.png

Take apart your favourite LEGO® model

Take a photo

Create a wonderful LEGO® playground for your toys and minifigures. There’s only one rule: the weirder, the better!

Minifigures and toys

Think about your favourite playgrounds and what makes them so fun. Maybe the swings go super high, or the slide goes really fast?

Lego_Playground_Assets_Step_1.png

The next step on your LEGO® playground build is to pick your bricks. You can also use an existing <a href="https://www.lego.com/en-gb/search?q=playground" target="_self">LEGO® playground set</a>&nbsp;if you have one!

Lego_Playground_Assets_Step_2.png

Choose your bricks

Set out all your bricks, figures, and toys in front of you before you start. It’ll help you find the right ones.

Lego_Playground_Assets_Step_3.png

Build your LEGO® playground

Twist the slides so they go in different directions. Turn things upside down and let your creativity shine. There are no limits to this playground!

Lego_Playground_Assets_Step_4.png

Make it weird!

One of the best things about LEGO® is you can build ANYTHING. Who says monster trucks can’t have biscuits for wheels? And why can’t you turn a lobster into a tank? 

In this fun activity, you’ll create a crazy LEGO® combination using your different LEGO® builds.

Two of your previous LEGO® builds (or create some new ones)

Your first job is to pick two LEGO® builds to make something brand new.

You could choose a vehicle and a building, a person and an animal, or any combination you’d like. The only thing to remember is to make your LEGO® combination seriously weird!

LEGO_Combination_Assets_Step_1.png

Choose two LEGO® builds

You’ve chosen two things to combine – but how will you combine them? Will your horse person have the head of a human, or the head of a horse? Will your lobster truck have wheels or claws? 

Now’s the time to work out the finer details. If it helps, you can draw some sketches of your combination on paper first.

LEGO_Combination_Assets_Step_2.png

Work out your combination

Get your LEGO® builds together and start building your weird, wonderful LEGO® combination. Don’t worry about following rules or making a realistic design. The main thing is experimenting and having fun! 

Top tip: Parents – it’s a good idea to disassemble the builds carefully and take note of how you did it. Why not take some photos throughout the activity to remember what you did and how to put things back together?

LEGO_Combination_Assets_Step_3.png

Build your LEGO® combination!

When building a LEGO® tower there are endless possibilities – you can a build a castle, a skyscraper, or just see how many bricks you can stack until your tower topples! 

Think about the design of your tower, will it be tall? Will it be cuDraw it out so you know what your LEGO® tower will look like.

LEGO_Tower_Assets_Step_1.png

Sketch a design

You can use a LEGO® baseplate if you have one or create one from bricks.

LEGO_Tower_Assets_Step_2.png

Build a base

Lay the basic foundation for your tower. The easiest shape is a simple square of four bricks – but a wider base might be more supportive.

LEGO_Tower_Assets_Step_3.png

Create the foundations

Top tip: Remember, you don’t need to follow straight lines. Towers often build up to a point. At the top, you could stack your bricks into a triangle shape.

LEGO_Tower_Assets_Step_4.png

Build your tower up

If you’re building a castle, you can add flags, turrets, dragons, princes or princesses. If you’re building a more modern design, you could add clocks, satellite dishes or an antenna. It’s up to you!

LEGO_Tower_Assets_Step_5.png

Finishing touches!

Parents, here, you can start a discussion on topics like climate change, helping endangered species, or improving education across the world.

Using LEGO® bricks, let’s build a robot of our own. It can be as simple or complex as you like. What will your robot be able to do? 


Think about your favourite robots that you’ve seen on TV, in books, and films. What do you like about them?

Now you’ve got some inspiration, spend some time thinking about what you want your robot to look like and draw it out.
