With families currently on lockdown around the world, parents and children alike are seeking ways to keep themselves entertained and hopeful. With that in mind, LEGOLAND California has unveiled a free platform with expert-led videos and building challenges that take people through how to put together advanced models every single week.
Called the #LLCBuildingChallenge (LEGOLAND Building Challenge), the webpage is filled with instructional videos and activities that promote learning, creation, and play. Through the resort’s website, children and families can find easy-to-follow step-by-step tutorials on how to build things like cute little LEGO dachshunds and LEGO cupcakes, as well as advanced shapes like spheres and stars.
The website also features weekly maze challenges, coloring pages, trivia tests, silly stories, and word searches. Notably, the park announces a new theme with a “how to build” video every Wednesday, which is hosted by a Master Model Builder.
On Fridays, LEGOLAND highlights builds shared by followers on the resort’s social media platforms and actively engages with families to generate ideas for future builds by the Master Model Builders. All activities on the site are free and accessible to everyone. Recently, the website celebrated Easter by sharing images of a mini egg rolling competition set against a backdrop of a miniature White House.
“Families searching for fun and educational activities for their kids during this unprecedented time are the inspiration behind #LLCBuildingChallenge. Having access to Master Model Builders for “how to” videos makes this experience unique and enjoyable. Furthermore, the responses have been extremely positive, as children and families have greatly enjoyed the videos and all the featured activities,” a representative of LEGOLAND California Resort stated.
More information is available at the official LEGOLAND website.
