LEGO ABCs: S is for Sea

Welcome! It's time for the letter S in our blogging through the alphabet series. This week we are taking our LEGO adventures to the ocean to see some Sea Creatures. My co-host Chareen will be talking about Science in Your Homeschool.

There are many ideas for making sea creatures with LEGOs. Frugal Fun For Boys and Girls has some great ideas for building a sea turtle, crab, otter, and fish using your own materials, and a simple search on Pinterest brings up some fun ideas and instructions. But, for our build this week we have a set to share called Deep Sea Creatures. It is a 3-in-1 set that features a shark, squid, and an angler fish. 

 

This shark was fun to build, and the details are pretty good! 

 

With the shark instructions there was also instructions for a small crab. He's a fun one.

 

The back is not the same as the front, so here's the back of the crab to see how it's made.

We still have yet to build the squid and the fish. Alex wants to build those next, but he didn't get them done in time for today's post. 

Sealife Aquarium at LEGOLAND!

Did you know that there is an aquarium at LEGOLAND? I realized as I was writing this post that I didn't share the pictures from the Sealife Aquarium portion of our visit.

So, here are some fun pics from that part of LEGOLAND:

The Aquarium was really neat. There were a ton of sea creatures and neat LEGO things to see all throughout.

Not sure what he was doing. Maybe he was tired? But, there were all kinds of interactive things for the kids to do.

So many colorful fish to see!

We saw some deep sea minifig divers while waiting for the Deep Sea Submarine ride too!

 

That's all for our LEGO fun this week! Thank you for reading and joining us!
