Gabi's Lego Lab

When planning a birthday party perfect for Gabi, I had to consider: What does she love to do? Where is a good, private space for a lot of people? What activity might possibly engage 1- to 11-year-olds? We found an amazing Lego store called "Creative Brick Builders" that successfully answered all 3 questions!

The party began with open play as our guests came in and explored the Lego tables.

The room had Lego bricks of all and sizes for hands of all sizes.

This ramp proved to be extremely popular for almost every kiddo.

To help everyone start to get focused, the teacher initiated a "tower building contest," telling all participants they could use "anything in the room." The rookies were using the tiny legos to build attempted high towers; whereas 2 teams of competitive spirits found other creative means to build tall towers. In the end, it was the birthday girl herself who was part of the winning tower.

A family who builds together...

Most folks were interested in the snacks provided during the party.

As play time continued, many guests worked with partners with Lego Technic kits to build merry-go-rounds that could function and spin.

By the end of the party, we had gotten rid of Gabi's fabulous friends. We had the room left to just the great family who joined until the store had to get rid of us too. What a successful party it was!

So grateful to Nana, Zadye, Aunt Syssa's and Aunt Sandi's families for joining us!
