Starting this September, you can join us at the Bolingbrook Historical Museum for our new LEGO Club! Use your imagination to build something incredible and make new friends. You can build whatever you want or try one of our building challenges. We’ll supply the bricks, and you supply the imagination.
Saturdays, September 14, October 12 & November 9, 1–3 p.m.
Bolingbrook Historical Museum, 444 E Briarcliff Road
- September 14: Name Building Challenge
- October 12: Monster Building Challenge
- November 9: Create Your Self Portrait
LEGO Club is best suited for children in grades 1–5, but all kids are welcome to attend. Children must be accompanied by an adult. For questions, please call the Outreach Services Department at 630.685.4230.
The benefits of playing with LEGO bricks are many:
- Test your science knowledge: how high can you build a tower before it falls down?
- Become a future architect: are you building a house, school or perhaps a library?
- Practice problem-solving skills: do you need to substitute a piece for another to make something fit?
- Develop better social skills: collaborate with others and make friends!
There is something magical about building your own LEGO object. Head to the Bolingbrook Historical Museum for some LEGO fun! In the meantime, here are a few book suggestions to learn all about our favorite LEGO bricks:
