June 25 Legos!

We had a nice, small group for our Lego event on Saturday.  The kids were super creative and made some great creations!

We started the event by reading Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty.

Then we dug into the Legos!



Legos on June 21

We had another great time at Legos @ your library on Tuesday, June 21st!  We had lots of new friends today!  We began with reading Pop's Bridge by Eve Bunting.

Then we had a great time building!  No one built a bridge, but that's OK!

Next Lego event is

Saturday, June 25th from 1-2:30 PM

Hope to see you then!

June 14 Legos!

We had another great turnout for our Tuesday Legos @ your library!    Our theme continues to be Architecture Around the World.  We started the event by reading Palazoo Inverso, a great story about building a palace with the plans upside down!

We then got out our Legos and the kids (and some adults!) had a great time building! Check out these great creations!

We will meet again on

Tuesday, June 21 from 10-11:30 am.

Mark your calendars for our Saturday event

June 25 from 1-2:30 pm.

Cars and Trucks

Thursday, May 12 was our next Legos @ your library event!  Our theme was "Cars and Trucks".  We held it after school from 3:30-5.  A few had attended our first event, but there were lots of new kids who came!  We had another great crowd--75 people!!

The program began with reading aloud "If I Built a Car" by Chris Van Dusen

The kids seemed to enjoy this creative and funny book.

We then got out the six tubs of Legos, including a new set of wheels and the kids went to work building their own cars (and other creations) out of Legos!  This is one of the books that was added to our collection:

 Here are a few cars that were built...

This is an animoto movie with all the pictures from the event.
