Christmas LEGO® Maze STEM Challenge

Modified: Nov 15, 2024 · Published: Nov 10, 2020 by Emma Vanstone · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

We have a stash of Christmas LEGO® that we excitedly bring out to play around this time of year. I love the cute little reindeer, elves, snowmen, and, of course, Santa. When the Christmas LEGO® comes out, we know Christmas is close!

My 8 year old made an amazing Christmas themed LEGO maze similar to our more traditional LEGO® maze using our Christmas Characters as props.

Easy Christmas LEGO® Maze

LEGO® MAZE – Points to Consider

  • How wide does the path need to be?
  • What obstacles will you use?
  • Is there space for a ramp?
  • Can you make a double layer maze?

LEGO® MAZE – Extension Tasks

  • Is the maze easier with a smaller or bigger marble?
  • Can you draw a plan and then build your maze to match your plan? What changes need to be made to your design as you build?
  • Can you make a magnetic LEGO® maze.
  • Can you create and draw instructions a friend can follow?

This is a great activity for practicing planning and design skills, as well as improving fine motor control.

Try a LEGO® ice excavation. This works really well if children try to rescue the LEGO pieces using warm and cold water. Older children can sprinkle salt over the top.

A LEGO® plant growth model is fun to build.

Find out how many helium balloons it takes to lift a LEGO® man.
