Leah’s 7th birthday party
For her party, Leah chose to have a duplicate party of Molly’s 8th birthday - a Bricks 4 Girlz party. She (and Molly) continue to be huge Lego fans. Fortunately for Jen, she could reuse some of the decorations and ideas from the last party.
Jen decorated these goody bags for each of the girls.
Jen made a Lego cake similar to the one she had made for Molly, though Leah requested her favorite color - yellow.
Leah and Jen made a Lego door hanger for the front door.
The party began with free play, using the bins full of Legos brought by the Bricks 4 Kidz folks.
The girls made their own minifigs (which they got to keep), then created a biography for them.
Then it was time for the big build. First, some guidance as to how the motorized car model build kits and instructions work.
They built in teams. Leah and Molly were partners.
When you build a motorized Lego car, you’ve got to get it to pop a wheelie.
Building cars is tiring. Time for a nap. (The other teams were all still building their cars).
Once the cars can propel themselves, you’ve got to drive them around. And, of course, run them into one another bumper-cars-style.
After some time with the cars, it was time for singing, cake, and ice cream.
Once everyone had their fill, it was back to playing. Lego motors can be used for more than propelling cars. They can also drive gears that crinkle up paper.
Lego motors can also spin plates for spin art.
Last, but not least, each girl got to take their picture in the Wyldestyle cutout.
Here’s all the girls and their minifigs. Thanks to all for coming to the party.
Given how silly these girls were, we had to take a silly one.
