Boat Building with LEGOs

Sometimes you just need to take two things that you like to play with and put them together. Like rocks and blocks. This time it was water and LEGOs. Take one large plastic storage container filled with water, some LEGOs, and mix. 🙂 Or the bathtub. LEGOs are great with water, because when you snap them together they capture air, which makes them buoyant. Rebecca and her friend Samuel did need to do some experimenting with base size vs height though, Rebecca’s first attempt at a boat was three times as high as it was wide, so it tipped right over which she found very concerning!

After the LEGOs, all sorts of things ended up in the water. This is a boat too, can you see the passenger?

Very cool! We’ve been making boats at our house, too but haven’t tried legos yet. I actually have a whole bunch I just picked up free at the side of the road that need a good wash, so this could be the perfect activity for them!
