LEGO Monster Chess SetUsing 32 Lego mindstorms bricks, 100,000 Lego bricks and costing roughly $30,000. This is one amazing project!Check out the detail on the pieces, I love how the knight’s legs move as it travels the board.

The whole lot took a year to plan and build, led by 4 main people and helped by 23. Their site has more stats on how it was done and what it involved.

LEGO Balloon Car

Learning Fun 101 believes that learning begins at home and we want to encourage parents and children to build together.
This months building activity is a simple balloon powered car by Davis Creek Elementary (click the link and you’ll be redirected to a page with detailed instructions on how to build it).
It takes standard LEGO pieces and a balloon to make it go. Get the whole family in on this project, try different size wheels and axles and see which cars go faster.

Last month we brought you LEGO Science, an amazing project of a dissected frog made of LEGO’s.This month we wanted to focus on something a bit more edible, LEGO Food! The LEGO Donut looks good enough to eat… if you squint hard enough.

If you have time take a look at all the other LEGO creations by Bruce Lowell, they are amazing!

Did you know……
The first minifigures (or minifigs) were released in 1978 for the Town, Space, and Castle playsets. When they were first created, LEGO decided that their (always happy) faces should have only one color: yellow. Minifigs have no sex or race. Actually, they didn’t have any arms or movable legs either. In the 1980s, with the arrival of the LEGO Pirates, new facial features (evil/good/happy/grumpy) were released. In 2003, the company released different skin colors for the LEGO Basketball.
