Since I’d only been to this store once to purchase items for the House of Lazarus Foodbank, I didn’t know what kind of selection they would have or even if they’d have LEGO. Was I surprised.
They had an entire aisle dedicated to Lego.
Needless to say, Max got his blue and Artemis got her unicorn pink lego.
So, when Cathy from Cathy Thinking out Loud found out how much The Kids love LEGO and I love reusing materials, she came up with the follow two LEGO Movie Crafts for Kids. I hope you’ll find them as entertaining as we did.
Toilet Paper LEGO Characters
You only need a few things to make them and I’m sure you have them around the house.
- Print and cut out the template,
- Colour the template,
- Tape the template around a roll of toilet paper. Voila!
The Kids made the characters over a week ago and they’re still playing with them, creating storylines and even making more plays.
LEGO Mini Figures with Lacing
This is another easy one. Just like our Quick and Easy Valentines Day Crafts (which can be customized for any occasion).
You will need;
- Print and cut out the template,
- Trace onto thick cardboard. We used scrap from a milk carton box,
- Colour the Mini Figure and Punch holes,
- Lace with shoelaces, rubberbands or whatever else you have on hand.
I couldn’t find any shoe laces that weren’t connected to shoes so I had The Kids use elastic bands. Interestingly enough we have a bag of those!?
It really helped them with their fine motor skills and they had fun stretching them and snapping them back on their fingers. Okay, not so much. Note to self, buy shoelaces.

We here at Chez Peady love LEGO so much! It is played with each and every day.
We loved the movie. All of us. Grown ups and Things alike. 😀
I really hope you get to see it when you get home. It was awesome! 😉

This looks like lots of fun with Lego crafting! My boys would love it. We haven’t seen the movie, but I’m sure it will be first on their list of things to do when it comes out on DVD.

That’s a great idea. Definitely more fun with characters…and cardboard. As a child, I was addicted to playing with cardboard. More so then toys.

Glad you posted this! My granddaughter will love this stuff!
My son loves Lego, what a great craft idea to connect it to their play.
The Lego movie is fabulous. My grandson and son in law went to see it when it first came out. Sebastian still chatters about it.
This is so adorable. We did not see the movie yet. Thanks for sharing your craft during our weekly party!
The lacing is too hard for my dd still, but she would like making the figurines!
My grand kids saw that movie last month and he also made some lego crafts
My kids love the Lego movie! Even the big kid, aka dh, loved it. They can’t wait until it ‘s out on DVD.

My kids are obsessed with The Lego Movie, so these crafts are perfect!
I especially like the toilet roll Lego Characters. This should help children use their imagination at play with the Lego. Thank you for both ideas.
These are super cool thanks! the kiddos sure love that movie!
This is great! My son loves TLM!!

I really like this idea. My little one loves playing with lego but our lego people get lost quite easy, so now we can have an endless supply!
