This was my ninth year teaching LEGO classes at the youth arts festival! I taught LEGO Art for 8 years, this year I retired that class and started LEGO Story Art. The idea was to read a story each day and then teach the kids how to build something from each story using as many mini-figures as possible! My two oldest kids helped teach, so the students got to have one-on-one help learning how to build cool stuff each day. It was so much fun to teach the class this way. I would love to see my kids be able to teach their own LEGO classes some day.
I custom built the LEGO sets this year to have lots of cool stuff like treasure boxes and chainlink and fire. These came from custom brick makers. I got basic bricks from the LEGO education and fun pieces like slopes, headlights, plates, ladders, dots, and eye tiles from a 900-piece creative LEGO set. My original plan was to have a different classroom set of LEGO mini-figures each day, but I ended up just buying tons of custom mini-figures so the kids could have their own. The funnest thing of all was the printed baseplate that looked like an island.
