How It Works:

• We have enough bricks for everyone!  Please DO NOT bring in your own Legos.

Important Details:

• Only one entry per person or team each week.

• Submit your build to the Children's Desk to be entered into that week’s prize drawing.

Prizes:

• Every entry goes into a drawing for a prize — winners are chosen randomly!

• The more weeks you participate, the more chances you have to win!

Have Fun!
Get creative, show off your building skills, and most of all — have a great time building this summer!

Objective:
Build anything you can imagine — but using only one color of LEGO bricks! Whether it's a majestic creature, futuristic structure, abstract sculpture, or everyday object, your creation must stay true to your chosen hue.

Rules:

• Select one color (e.g., red, white, black, blue, yellow, etc.).

• Use only LEGO pieces in that color — no mixing!

• Transparent bricks of the same color (like translucent blue) are allowed.

Objective:
Use your imagination and a pile of LEGO bricks to create something inspired by nature! Whether it's a delicate flower, a towering tree, a soaring eagle, a hidden mushroom, or an entire forest ecosystem — if it's something you could find out there in the wild, it's fair game.

Rules:

• Build something inspired by the natural world — plants, animals, landscapes, weather, natural phenomena, etc.

• You may use bricks of any shape or color.

• Realism is great, but so is creativity! (A blue hedgehog or a rainbow mushroom? Go for it!)

Objective:
Use LEGO bricks to build your very own robot creation — it could help with chores, explore outer space, protect the environment, or even tell jokes! Whether it walks, rolls, flies, or just looks awesome standing still, your robot should have a clear purpose and a personality.

Rules:

• Build a robot using LEGO bricks — any shape, size, or color.

• Your robot can be realistic, silly, helpful, or heroic — you decide!

• Moving parts are allowed but not required.

Objective:
Create a LEGO build that uses all the colors of the rainbow — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple (and pink too, if you’d like!). Your creation can be anything you imagine: a scene, an animal, a machine, a pattern, or even something abstract — as long as it’s colorful!

Challenge Rules:

• Use at least six rainbow colors in your build.

• Your build can be any shape or size.

Objective:
Use LEGO bricks to create your favorite zoo animal — or invent a brand-new creature no one has ever seen before! From towering giraffes to tiny tree frogs, from elephants to eagles, build something that could live in a zoo habitat.

Rules:

• Build a real or imaginary animal using LEGO bricks.

• Your build should focus on the animal itself — bonus if you include part of its habitat (like water, trees, rocks, etc.).

• Use bricks of any shape or color.

Objective:
Inspired by the whimsical world of Richard Scarry, create a lively town or city filled with the people, places, and vehicles that make a community go! Use LEGO bricks to design buildings, homes, shops, cars, jobs, and characters you might find in a busy, helpful town.

Rules:

• Work solo or in a team to build part of a larger community — a fire station, bakery, playground, post office, pickle car… whatever your imagination dreams up!

• Include at least one building and one job or vehicle (can be made-up or real!).

• Characters (LEGO people or animals) are encouraged — dress them up and name them if you like!
