If you didn’t already know about our family Lego obsession, let me remind you that not only do we have lots and lots of Legos, we have an entire room dedicated to Legos. (I am personally more obsessed with butter than Legos, but my boys love them, so I love them too.)
If only it was still this clean. At least it’s not as bad as it used to be though.
All of our boys have loved Legos through the years, but our youngest son Malachi, who is now eight, is our Lego King. Not only will he spend hours each day creating with Legos, he is actually saving his money to begin a Lego Business some day. Who knows but that it just might happen?
As I’ve been working to prepare our curriculum for when we begin school in a few weeks, I got super excited when I came across FREE Lego Learning downloads! Here is one for Lego Mini Figure Writing Prompts. Here is a Language Arts Lego Mini Figs Download. Both of these are perfect for Malachi (who will be a third grader). What a great and fun way for him to work through his English lessons this fall!
If those don’t work for you, or if you have younger kids, you’ll want to look at all of the Lego Learning options over at Homegrown Learners. I was so impressed with what she offers (for free!) that I had to share with you. :)
I have a Lego lover, too! Unfortunately (for him) I don’t have a spare room to dedicate to Legos – maybe after his sisters move out lol!
Thank you for the download links – these will keep him busy for a day or two.
Oh goodness. We just started our homeschool year this week, and our poor 8 year old was in tears since his Saxon math switched from worksheets to textbooks. This looks like just the fun thing for him!
Textbooks have always been frustrating to my boys too. I have to keep them to a minimum, for sure. So glad you like the Lego downloads as much as I do!
Legos are still loved here and my two are older than your boys. Here’s a story about a home schooled boy, age 15, who opened his own physical store selling Legos and other toys. His younger brother works at the store also:

This story was from 2009 but I know that at least one of the stores is still going today! Maybe Malachi’s dream isn’t so farfetched!
Thank you for mentioning my site!! I am so happy you are using the LEGO resources!
