Create Your Favorite Book Characters with LEGO Bricks
Fun Hands on Activities with Kids
LEGO Building Activity: Bring Your Favorite Book Characters to Life!
Main Idea
Perfect indoor activity with kids who love reading books. We decided to create our favorite book character using LEGO bricks.
Activity Prep
(What we used)
"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" book by Eric Carle
A variety of LEGO bricks: green, light green, and blue for the caterpillar's body; red for the face; and small brown pieces for the legs.
LEGO baseplates for construction stability
It was hard to figure out the shape of the body, but it came out good! My son was very happy to see the caterpillar made of Lego bricks.
About the book
"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle
It's a classic children's book with a cute caterpillar character. Beautiful, bright, and colorful illustrations make it great for teaching kids how to count, the days of the week, and the life cycle of a butterfly.
