It's time for the letter W in our blogging through the alphabet series. I can't believe we are almost done with the whole alphabet! This week I have a LEGO world that we built, and my co-host Chareen is sharing about Cursive Writing.
I am sure most of you are familiar with the Disney movie Wall-E where the little robot takes it upon himself to clean up the earth after all the humans deserted it. In doing so, he finds all the people and helps to bring them back to the world they are supposed to live in. I think his story fits in very well with what we built this week, a world LEGO mosaic.
I found the instructions for this mosaic on the blog: Childhood 101. There is a free printable to use and follow for the LEGO Mosaic world. There are even both sides of the globe, but I only made one side. That's all I had enough pieces for. It took quite a bit of my blue, and I was even worried I might not make it all the way through.
The nice thing about this pattern is you just use what you have. You can put any shape of blue in wherever there is blue, and any shape of green where there is green. It's a lot of counting, and like a puzzle.
It's really neat looking when it's done though! I have it on display in our living room next to our U.S. flag. If I had more flags that would have been fun to add.
That's all for our LEGO fun this week! Thank you for reading and joining us!

Wall-E is cute but that world is so neat! I really like it and might get Miss J to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThe world was such a fun challenge. It took a few hours, and a lot of patience with counting, but was very worth it. I also forgot I was going to add some white pieces to the bottom for antarctica, but forgot. So might be something fun to add.
DeleteThe Wall-E is cute, but I can't take credit for that one. It's a stock photo, but I just loved how it fit with the world.
Wow I'm impressed with your Map!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's pretty neat once it's finished.
DeleteI love your world. That is really neat. I've never seen that done before.
ReplyDeleteLEGO has a big huge world set that they just put out not too long ago. It's pretty impressive, but I like that this one can be built with regular bricks.
