Office Supplies

Have you ever seen inside a stapler before?
You put in staples and you staple them
on to your paper. What does this have to do with
Legos? I made a stapler out of Legos!

My stapler has a rubber band
attached to the back so 
it can spring up and down.
It also has a place you can put
 staples in and a place that can drop the staples 
out.

Brick Builder Challenge:
I challenge you to make an office supply out of Legos.

Email a photograph of your creation to brickbuilderchallenge@gmail.com for a chance for your brick creation to be featured in an upcoming blog post.
Make sure to include your name and description of your creation.

Watch for your creation in a blog post on March 7.

Angry Birds

Angry Birds. A video game. But I made it 
out of Legos!

The pigs base is made by flat tiles.
They just snap together!
The big birds are worth 1 point and
the small birds are worth 2 points.
This can be a competitive game or a team game.
You can also play it by yourself.

Brick Builder Challenge:
I challenge you to make your favorite
show or video game out of Legos!

Batman Bat-ship



Look! up in the sky! Is it a cloud? Is it a plane? No! 
It's Batman, in his bat-ship!


This Bat-ship has a cockpit that can fly off in an emergency
and a string attached to the wings so
it can take up less space, but when it's time to
save the city you can just pull the string and the wing pop out!


Brick Builder Challenge:
Make a Lego vehicle for your favorite
superhero or character!
