LEGO ABCs: U is for Unicorn

Welcome to the Letter U! This week I struggled to find something other than Unicorn. Because well, my boys don't really care about unicorns. But, I decided to just go with it and built the unicorns myself! My co-host Chareen has chosen Ubiquitous Homeschooler for her topic this week. These last few letters are going to be a challenge, but we're almost to the end! 

U is for Unicorn:

When I finally decided to just give in to the Unicorn, I had to build them rather quickly because I only decided yesterday to go with it. I found instructions for building a LEGO Unicorn at Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls. Then I got digging into my white LEGO bin for most of the unicorn body. 

Finding pieces for this was not too bad. I only had a few colors to find for the mane and tail, and some black for the hooves and nose. I found the pieces for 2 unicorns in case Alex might decide he wants to build with me. He didn't, but he thought they were fun. I built both, and it was fun.

As I was building, I realized the most obvious other letter U choice could have been Unikitty! We actually have a Unikitty set that needs to be rebuilt. This "minifig" kitty was all that I had ready for this post though. Unikitty is a fun character in the LEGO movies.

U is for Update:

I also realized that I should do an update for some of the past posts where I didn't have things finished or built at all. First update is for the S is for Sea post. I hadn't built all the sea creatures from that set yet, but now we have! We have the squid...

And the angler fish/tiny fish...

The next update is for the I is for Iron Man post. I finally finished rebuilding the set that I mentioned in that post. It had a lot of missing pieces that I had to dig through the storage bin for. It took a long time. I found all the pieces though! Even all the special minifigs.

The next update is for the N is for Ninjago post. I had gathered most of the remnants of the set, but to rebuild it I had to find many missing pieces. It took a long time to do that as well. I still can't find one of the minifigs, but I figure I'll come across him someday. He's in our storage bin somewhere, I'm sure. The set is all rebuilt now though, only a few missing pieces that I just couldn't find. This is a fun set.

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