Your child (or in my case, husband) chooses from just 5 different opening title scenes so it’s not too overwhelming for a little one. Then they can set up their own LEGO men (they can use anything they want really, but the LEGO men are very fun to use as characters) and snap a photo, change their position, snap another photo, etc. They can keep this up as long as their patience allows until they have a terrific stop motion animation on their hands. Gift for kids aged 8 and up – This book will teach and inspire budding animators, starting with the basics and progressing step by step to more advanced directorial techniques Like LEGO Movie Activities?

And when the music starts pumping, their toes start tapping – this beat is so funky that the crew take their moves across the galaxy, from the wastelands of Apocalypseburg, the strange galaxy of the Systar System, the mysterious verdant Alien Jungle, and the eternally happy place known as Harmony Town. There’s no way you can sit still watching this number – you’ll be bopping to the beat in no time, learning moves that you didn’t know your body could do.

Lights . . . camera . . . action! LEGO® builders can bring their minifigures to life with this beginners’ guide to stop-motion animation. With clear, step-by-step instructions and 10 mini-movie projects, kids aged 8+ will be able to make short, funny animations using a phone, tablet, or computer. Once they move onto more advanced skills, such as lighting, sound effects and camera angles, every movie they make is sure to be a smash hit! LEGO Movie Maker is available for iPhone, iPod and iPad. It is FREE on App Store. Sometimes developers take their apps off the App Store for updates or other reason. If you could not find the app on the App Store, we have an app that is even cooler that LEGO Movie. It is called Tootastic. It is also free.

There is no dialogue in these little movies, so kids really get to stretch out their imaginations and focus on story telling through a logical sequence of events. Of course, my absolute favorite thing about it, is the opportunity it offers to practice delayed gratification. When you are patient and pay attention to detail it can be so rewarding to see the greater picture evolve over the long term. That is not the easiest thing to teach! We are crazy about this LEGO Movie Maker App. The reason we love it so much mostly stems from its versatility. My son and I can make a very rudimentary ten second film, or we can pass it off to my husband who might just produce a full length feature soon because he is so obsessed. Be sure to watch our other Movie Maker Master Classes to gain an overview of all the things you can do with the Movie Maker app, how to master sound and visual effects, and even how to create stop-motion movies. Now isn’t that AWESOME? This rebuild was inspired by the classic fairy garden houses found in gardens. These houses are a way to attract fairies and create a beautiful display piece. Creating the build by only using parts from the LEGO® set 10232 Palace Cinema was very difficult for various reasons. One of which being that there are only two green pieces in the whole set! Overall, I think I captured the cute and beautiful appearance of a fairy garden house with the pieces I had. I hope you enjoy this very detailed model. So without further ado, here is the thrilling saga of mismatched hats my son and I created. Enjoy! The Mix Up
