LEGO Rose for Mother’s Day

Here’s a fun little diagram for a rose made from LEGOs that you can make for the mom that has everything (except maybe that diamond necklace). This LEGO Rose makes an especially great Mother’s Day gift idea for kids who want to give mom a gift and don’t have the funds to purchase something. I can see their proud little faces as they give their bouquet to Mom.

The little ones can build the rose with the LEGO bricks they have lying around the house, or pick out cool new colors from LEGO’s new Pink Brick Bucket set which the entire family can enjoy together. And remember if you ever start running out of ideas or have some time on your hands check out the BrickShelf User Gallery – where people submit photos of their LEGO masterpieces.

DIY Dad – Sweet Lego Planter

This Lego Planter (above) was inspired by this Science & Sons designer planter (below)…

…he didn’t want to shell out $150 bucks for so he did his rendition in legos and to that, I say – kudos, my boy. Sweet, mod’-planter.

Excellent Resource for Kids Activities

Have you ever tried to make origami but could never understand the directions? Have you run out of cool ways to make a paper airplane? Or you want to see how the Pro’s do it? Or have you just run out of craft and activities and need some inspiration? The folks over at ActivityTV.Com have done a great job at creating a site filed with video tutorials for a number of great kid activities.

Find lots of fun activities for kids, with video instructions and printables. There’s a great selection of craft ideas including gifts, games, and holiday items. Learn easy magic tricks, or try the fun and easy kid-friendly cooking recipes. Check out the simple, safe and fun science experiments or very cool paper airplanes. Other categories include cartooning, cheerleading, juggling, origami, jewelry, puppets, and more. Just follow along with the step-by-step videos.

Some of my new favorites is LegoTV, where you can see some of your favorite lego characters in actions. Of all the Instructional Channels available I’d have to say puppets section is my personal favorite. Banana Buddies. Running Rabbit. Shoe Box Monster. Come on, we’re talking about a screaming good time here.

So the next time you wake up to one of those impenetrable raining spring mornings or you just run out of tricks to pull out of the proverbial mom/dad hat, check out Activity.TV and see if they help spark some kind of fun.
