Changing Seasons with LEGO

Modified: Oct 14, 2024 · Published: Mar 12, 2016 by Emma Vanstone · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

Here at Science Sparks, we adore LEGO®. I think it is just the most amazing, flexible resource. We’ve used it to learn about bar charts, make magnet mazes, and even built a balloon powered LEGO® car.  LEGO® is also fantastic for helping develop fine motor skills, learning to follow instructions, encouraging creativity, and much more. When my children were little, we played with DUPLO® every day, and now LEGO® is one of the few toys they all enjoy together.

Our LEGO changing seasons model was a great way to explore how our world changes with the seasons.

LEGO Seasons Model

This activity was great on many levels. First, we had a chat about which changes are most noticeable in each season and what we could model with the LEGO. We talked about the hibernation of animals through winter, changing leaves in autumn and the bright colours and wildlife of spring and summer.

Can you guess which season this is?

Our winter tree has bits of frost and a ladybird and butterfly who sneaked in from spring.

This end of summer tree has some apples and a few splashes of colour.

Our Spring tree has lots of colour and flowers as well as a butterfly.

This is our little hedgehog hibernating in Winter. The hibernating was my 7 year old’s idea. I was really impressed with how all three of my children got on board with this activity and added little extras that I hadn’t considered.
