What an amazing first day of LEGO Ornament building. Considering we posted early on a Friday at a time of year that is crazy busy we started off strong with six incredible builds.
As momentum picks up I can only imagine the ornaments on their way!
A couple of reminders and clarifications from the questions I have received as people get started.
- You can choose to build any ornament and in any order you wish. I will promote one ornament idea each day, but you can choose to build whatever one you want.
- You can build with any LEGO you have available. There is no wrong element or idea. The fact that you are building is the real power in this challenge.
- How does one share their ornament?
- We have a Facebook Group for people to share builds and ideas. If the link does not work, then search for LEGO Ornament Challenge and it should pop up as well.
- You can email your builds aarmau (at) gmail (dot) com
- On the website for each build we also have a Flipgrid link so builders can share a video to either show all aspects, explain the build, or provide context to the ornament. We have two great Flipgrid examples for Santa already loaded from a classroom.
- If you are on Twitter, then you can share using #BuildToGive so LEGO can see your builds, but please include me @aaronmaureredu so I can see your build.
As you share I will do my best to capture and document the builds so I can add them to the website so others can see your work. I have done this so far with the builds submitted on day 1 when you look at the Santa page
Honestly, I love this! I love people sharing. I love kids building. I love the creative worlds and images being created in the minds of the builders. It is good stuff and I appreciate all of you participating. This is also a wonderful opportunity for adults to interact with kids!
While many of you have started building your Santa, we are going to start here with one of the most iconic characters for the holiday. Looking forward to all of your builds!
