Printing Patterns with LEGO®

Modified: Feb 20, 2025 · Published: Aug 26, 2014 by Emma Vanstone · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

Printing patterns with LEGO® is a simple STEM activity for young children. The bricks are a great shape for making robots or building shapes, and DUPLO® bricks are easy for little hands to hold.

We did our LEGO® printing outside to contain the mess. You can print with LEGO people, normal bricks or DUPLO bricks and make patterns or pictures as simple or complicated as you like.

We started with quite simple patterns, but have big plans for a big picture, coming soon.
