LEGO ABCs: Y is for Yellow

Up for this week in our alphabet series is the letter Y. We're blogging about things that start (or end with) the letter Y. I have some yellow LEGO builds from the past year to share, and my co-host Chareen is sharing YouTube Homeschooling. 

 

For the first yellow build I have a candy machine dispenser from Frugal Fun 4 Boys and Girls that I built. I made the one that dispenses the starburst. It is mostly yellow so I started by digging in the yellow box.

It was pretty fun to make. I had to substitute what pieces I couldn't find, so there are some things that are not exactly like the original directions. For example, I didn't have enough clear pieces for the front, so I had to use all solid yellow. I would have loved to see the starburst from the front though.

It didn't take long for it to get dropped and smashed. That's okay, it needed some improvements as the candy would get stuck every once in a while.

The next yellow build is a rebuild of a Technic set that had fallen apart. Alex wanted to give this one a try.

He started it, but it became a little too difficult, so I had to finish it. There were a few pieces missing too, so it took quite a while to build.

Here are the results! A really cool looking tow truck with working parts.

The last yellow build is an Easter chick that I built last Spring.

Y is for York

New York, that is! Surprisingly, Alex really likes the Architecture sets. He's 10, so it surprises me that he likes these so much. He convinced me to buy this used set at our local Bricks and Minifigs for less than half the price of the new one. It's really a good deal because these sets can be expensive. 

So, it's all taken apart and ready to build! I wish I would have gotten a picture of it before I took it apart, but forgot.

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