Noah and Anna (and Josh) came up with an idea to start a Lego Club. The kids each invited two friends to be on their teams and a build theme was picked for the event - Castles. All four invited buddies were able to come and I was quite IMPRESSED with how productive the kiddos were and how well they worked together within their teams combining all their different ideas.
Anna invited her good buddy, Claire, because she knew Claire would represent girl builders well.
She also invited a classmate she knows loved Legos, too, Sonny. He also likes donuts which is great because Josh picked some up for everyone. Ha!
Noah invited a friend from church, Colman, and a friend from co-op, Cole.
Colman's sister, Kellin, stuck around to help the younger team. Sonny's dad, Evan, stuck around for the event, too.
Noah's team got some assists from Cole's dad and from Josh.

This team put the bulk of their effort into the walls and its intimidating exterior. Well done, boys!
It was a successful Lego Club launch and the kiddos all decided that the next meeting's theme should be vehicles.

I love love love that!!!! Natalie's school Lego Club is also a hit...this was the first year they did it and so many kids wanted to be a part of it that they created a separate 1st grade and 2nd grade group. I love seeing the minds of these kids work through Legos...next time we visit, Jack will be ALL over it...What a fun idea Josh. ha! And you've got just the legos and room and organization to do it too!
Seriously - I wondered if the kids would lose interest after starting, but they were all about it all the way to completion. And THEN they bolted for more donuts and headed out back to play. :}
Your house = the fun house.
One can hope!
