Arts and CraftsLEGO® Arts and Crafts
LEGO® arts and crafts can be anything from fun things for kids to build to creative activities for the whole family. Have you ever used LEGO® tiles, bricks and elements to create your own artwork or decorate a room in your house? Scroll down to get our best tips for your next rainy-day project!How to Become an Arts and Crafts Expert
Who says your child needs to be an expert? Never mind about getting it ‘perfect’ the first time, as long as you do it together. If you’re curious, okay with things getting a little messy or ugly, and you want to have fun, you’ve already achieved 90% success. Okay, we made up that figure, but you get the picture.Whether creativity is life-essential to your family or maybe slightly out of your comfort zone, it’s so simple and easy to get started with materials you already have. Creativity is just about combining known things in new ways. And if it doesn’t look like you imagined, just give it another go!
Why Make Arts and Crafts Projects for Kids?
Kids are natural born creatives. Sometimes, as we grow up, we’re taught that creativity is not a productive way to spend our time. Nothing could be further from the truth. Kids who are encouraged to express themselves creatively with any material can learn problem-solving and mathematical skills, spatial awareness, fine motor skills, empathy and much more. Skills that help anyone at any age – including us grown-ups.

Fun DIY Toy Animals
Does your child want a dinosaur one day, a dog, cat, giraffe or pet pig the next? Good news: If you inspire them to build their own with LEGO® bricks, they can have any toy animal they want, anytime. Tip: Challenge them to build a crocodile with just five bricks, then turn it into a pet fish, toy kitten or any other animal they love. And watch your young vet’s imagination run wild.
Fun Things to Do with Kids
How do you encourage your child to do arts and crafts? If they watch you experiment with creative projects, they will be curious to join you. Provide them with safe, age-appropriate materials, and maybe just cover the table/floor/child/yourself if needed. It may get messy, but you can have so much fun together! Let them enjoy the process, and the skills and results will follow. We promise.
