I've written about LEGO organization and have lots of LEGO printable activities.

In our homeschool co-op many years ago I taught a LEGO class to twelve second and third grade children. What fun we had!

One week we called "Mini-Fig Week". They each received their very own minifigure and also played a game with their minifigures. In addition, I will gave them a Create Your Own Minifig to design and color.

You wouldn't believe what a HIT this was!

Keep a bucket of nothing but Mini Figure parts handy and let your child build while you read aloud... it's amazing the Medieval Knights, Railroad Workers, Samuraii, and other historical characters they will create!
Use the printable I have made for you and let your child create their own mini figure. Then, write a story about this character.
Create dramas with mini figures.
Get a copy of the LEGO Ideas Book and your child will be busy for a lifetime!
Download a simple Stop Motion app for the iPad or iPod Touch and let your child experiment with this. Then, watch this video (made by a young man in our local homeschool group! Talk about inspiration!)

I don't see the LEGO phase waning any time soon, and I'm so glad. I have never seen a toy that is more fun, educational, and thought provoking.

I have been blessed with children who love to read.

There are times, however, when I have had to provide a little "inspiration" for them to read.

(Remember - I'm not an advocate of actually TEACHING kids to read.)

When my kids were younger holidays were a great time for us to pull out a basket of holiday-themed books. In fact, we still have our holiday books and love looking back on them now that my kids are older.
