in 2010 I created this LEGO Lapbook for Elijah when he was in 3rd grade. I fixed all the broken links and videos it in 2012, but it was due for another update so I fixed all the links again (8/19/15). On 3/17/20 I updated the PDF with new fonts and images and a few new pages. The only way I know when things are broken is when you tell me. So, be the squeaky wheel!
This LEGO unit study is written to the student as an independent study and each day includes four components:
- Copywork
- Word of the Day
- Explore & Learn
- Building Challenge
Download Your FREE Learning with LEGO Lapbook
You can view our study in action in this Learning with LEGO post.
Don’t forget to get some bricks! This LEGO Classic Medium Creative Brick Box is an excellent starter brick set for your builder!
If your student is interested in more about the LEGO story (after Day 1), you may want to watch this video with her. Please Note: The word d— is used once.
I hope your student enjoys a week of LEGO Learning as much as Elijah did.

It’s inspired my DD 🙂 Will let you know how it goes 🙂 Thankyou.
Awesome, Ami!! Really, really awesome! I’m going to be sharing this one. 🙂
Thank you!! I have three Lego loving boys who will love doing this unit.
THANK YOU!!! My son will love this one 🙂
Very cool…shared this on my blog.
Ami, Wonderful again, I can’t wait to do this one too!! I love the way that you make it to the child!! XOXO
Thank you thank you thank you!! My boys love Legos and love lapbooks!!!! They are going to enjoy this!
Wow. I think this makes you my new homeschooling hero. Thank you!
Great!! Today’s summer school lesson – wohoo… however, just noticed that the taxi link doesn’t connect (says something about logging in to windstream). Thanks for all the great lessons…
oops.. the link is working now… nevermind
Thank you! I downloaded it and plan to start Monday with two of my boys. I’ve shared it as well on my blog linking back to you. Thanks!!!!
Thank you so much! I found you through Homeschool Creations and am so glad I clicked over! This will be something “fun” but will still sneak in some learning this summer!
Thank you! I love looking here for ideas. You are so creative and that makes my job as a homeschooling mom easier. I just showed this to my 8 year old and he is excited to do this next week 🙂
Yay! just love this. we are making this as our first lapbook back to school!
Thank you so much for sharing this. We are doing Day 2 now and it has been a big hit. My son loves it. This lapbook is doing so much for his sense of appreciation of the Lego he has as well as expanding his thoughts on inventing himself.

Thanks for the Lego Study! Can’t wait to read it!
HOW COOL! Thank you so much!
We finished this last week. My boys loved it. Thanks again!
thank you for this – my Lego-obsessed son will love it!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
My boys are going to looooove this study.
My boys will love this – thank you so much.
WOW! My boys LOVE legos! Actually Lego’s are their quite time activity while we do Read Alouds (this is how they listen for 2-3 hrs at a time while we journey through great reads!) I’m adding this to our 2010-2011 School year right now! May I put this link under my curriculum for 2010-2011 on my website? You requested that no one “hot links,” however I wasn’t sure what that means. Thank you SO MUCH!

Thank you!!! This looks great and i am sure my younger 3 and the most likely the oldest (11) will love it.
Hello. I just discovered your blog! Thank you so much for all of your hard work! What a blessing!
Thank you! We just finished up this unit and we loved it! We even baked a Lego shaped cake to celebrate! Check out the pictures on my blog at http://adayinthelifeofahomeschoolingfamily.blogspot.com/
Just a quick THANK YOU – this is exactly what we needed to have some fun and lighten up our schoolwork! Much appreciated.
this is WAY cool and I will make sure to link back to it when I do it with my two kids. I know they will REALLY enjoy it! I got to you through “Baker’s Dozen”.
Wahoo! I feel like I hit the Lego lottery!! I have been looking for Lego learning activities for my son. He will LOVE this! Thank you!!!
awesome! My son’s gonna love it!
Thanks! Lots of great learning in this unit. I know my girls will love it!
This is amazing, I am sharing it on my LEGO challenge blog. Thank you for making this, it is a great resource!
Sam,
I am so happy you posted here! Your site is great! I can’t wait to show my son. 🙂
Thanks!
I’m excited about this Lego unit! I can’t wait to share it!
I love your blog, and your site. In fact I featured Homeschool Share on my site’s “Free Finds” page. Good stuff. Thanks for all you do.
A huge thank you from us for sharing this. I have never seen my son so excited about doing any of his ‘school work’ before. Thank you 🙂
http://ourworldwideclassroom.blogspot.com/2010/10/lapbooks-for-fun-learning-lego.html
This is so cool! Hopefully I’ll remember it when my son is old enough. In the meantime, I’m going to share the link with friends.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I just have to tell you how thankful I am for you. It’s my first year homeschooling my 2nd grader who has Asperger’s Syndrome (whose name is Elijah (-:). It’s imperative that I keep things interesting and multi-sensory. And I’m *not* a teacher! You just may enable me to continue homeschooling. God bless you!
Oh Amy,
But you are a teacher! 🙂 I’m sure you naturally taught your son MANY things before you started homeschooling. 🙂
Thanks for being an encouragement to me. Let me know how I can do the same for you. You CAN do this!!! 🙂 Ami
Thank you for sharing this, my son will love it!
Your a genius ! This is the coolest thing I have seen by far!
Hi
This is fantastic thank you. My child is no longer homeschooled but he would love this as he lives and breathes Lego.
Do you mind if I make a link to it on my website as I’m always on the look out for Lego resources for parents?
Cheers

Love it and so will my son – thanks so much!!
Ok…this was awesome!!! We want more!!
I don’t mind at all! Thanks! 🙂
Love this one! Thank you. Thank you.
love it – thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this resource and for sharing it. My boys love Lego and they are already excited just looking at it! So thankful for your generosity and effort in putting this together…this is a real blessing to us:)
I agree with PeiYin, this really is a blessing! Thank you for the inspiration!!
Thank you so much- this is amazing. I need inspiration today and stumbled upon your blog. Thank you so much – I found great inspiration today and lego lapbook for the week. I needed something to bring back the joy and I found it here.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I love it! I especially love that its if for older children rather than Pre-K. My son will have a blast!! Thanks again!!
I’m having trouble getting this to download. Is it just my computer or is this pdf no longer available?
Would you like for me to email it to you? 🙂
Thank you sharing this Unit with us. My kids and I are going to enjoy this next week.
What a fun idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for posting this!! I found it on Monday & immediately decided to scrap a lot of our school for the rest of the week & focus on that!! My kids have been absolutely loving it.
I’m having a bit of an issue though with some of the videos. All the day 1 links worked fine, but a number of them on day 2 & 3 (haven’t checked 4 yet) don’t work. It appears to be all lego.com ones. You don’t know of anywhere else to get these videos do you? We need the day 3 one to complete the activity & I’m not sure where to look for that info.
Thank you again for all the work that I’m sure went into creating this!!!
not getting the taxi link to work…directs me to lego but not sure how to find your taxi
this is a great study–thanks so much! do you know how to find some of the pages that have been moved on the lego website?
ok, I read that someone else was having issues gaining access to the video links on lego for days 2, and 3, and maybe 4…I have tried day to and am also having trouble. HELP!!
The taxi cab is here:

🙂
I will try to find the other links that are broken.
Vision and Mission: http://aboutus.lego.com/en-us/lego-group/mission-and-vision/
Okay, I have all the links updated except for one (but I haven’t posted the new file yet). I have an email to LEGO to see if they can help me find one last missing link. 😉
Thanks for your patience!
Here is a new link for how LEGO fit together: http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/lego.htm
Thanks for so many great ideas. Perfect for keeping summer learning fun.
I ran across this purely by accident, and WOW, is this amazing!!! My boys are going to LOVE this! Can’t wait for Monday!
I love this idea and want to use it for a small group at summer school, however – I need to purchase a lego kit. Does the kit Bricks and more contain all the parts needed to build the challenges? I don’t want to order it and find out I need wheels and more.
thanks!
Each student had their own set of bricks (the ones I listed). One day, I did bring in a BUNCH of LEGO wheels for the class to use. At the end of the day, they gave them back to me. Maybe one of your students has wheels that he/she could loan to the class for a day.
Oops! Linda, I thought you were asking for the LEGO class: http://www.walkingbytheway.com/blog/lego-building-club/
You might have to change some of the challenges for this. I have an new (updated) kit to upload. Will try to do that tomorrow! 🙂 Ami
I am currently working through this unit wit my son this week. A lot of the links no longer work. Thank you , however, for the excellent work!
WOW! What a cool unit! I am sharing it with my facebook readers here: https://www.facebook.com/LivingLifeIntentionally
Thanks for all your hard work =-)
Beth
Thanks so much Ami…I had just decided to use this for the first week of school, thanks so much for taking the time to update it..
I am so using this for our first week back 🙂
Just curious – whatr program do you use when you make things like this?
This is forming the basis of my LEGO co op class, so THANK YOU! 🙂
Hi Jocelyn,
I use Microsoft Publisher for just about everything I do. 🙂
Yay! 🙂
AWESOME, Ami! I pinned it to my LEGO Theme board. Thank you.
Thank you! This is brilliant! My son will love it.
This is awesome, I love it. Thank you so much for all the hard work that has gone into this. Pinning it (as well as downloading)
Thankyou so much for sharing this. I’ve just downloaded it to use with my son who is a Lego fanatic 🙂
I just turned on my computer to start putting together something along these lines to use with my son, but this is far more amazing than what I envisioned creating. Thank you so much!
You are a genius! Thank you so much for sharing.
Melody
Love the Lego lapbook. Was a wonderful resource. A few months ago my son started his own Lego blog. He uses his Legos for everything. Check out his blog http://www.buildinglegoswithchrist.blogspot.com
Just wanted to say thanks for making this. Just last week we had a LEGO day. My kids love legos. So… thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wenddie
I love this…not sure how I can pin this to my page…I hope I can find this tomorrow..nice way to start my new year…my kids will think I am the best ever!
I am just wanting to launch my oldest into some independent learning. I think this might be a fun way to transition into some explorations of his own!
I forget if I already commented on this, so…thank you (maybe again lol). My son loves Legos, to say the least, and I was trying to put a lapbook together but I have a tendency to overdo it, so this is perfect. 🙂 I saw where you said not to “hot link” back to this, but I want to credit you once we upload pictures. What would you like?
You can link back to the main page just not to the actual file. 🙂 Thanks! Enjoy! 🙂
Can you tell me what age group this is for I have a 10yr old
Hi Christene,
It just depends on his skill level. I think we used it when Elijah was 8, but there are lots of things that are applicable for an older student, too. 🙂
Ami – thank you so much for sharing this! I have a nine year old and he is going to LOVE this!!! So appreciate you. God Bless ~Norma
Thank you! I have an Elijah who is going to love this. He asked me if he could do a lego lapbook. I thought I was going to have to make one for him, but then I found this. THANK YOU! we will really enjoy working through this.
I found your downloads! Thank you!
Jennifer
My children love to play lego, this thing is very useful to a child. I notice that my children creates characters, houses and etc. It can build imaginations to do things and discover the talents of my children. Thanks for this lego.
I'm just wanting to make sure it is ok to use your Lego lapbook for a co-op class. I don't see any copyright info, but I want to make sure I don't violate copyright law! I won't be paid for the class and credit to your site will be given! Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this amazing unit and lapbook. My second grader and I took his birthday week "off of regular homeschool stuff" and dedicated this week to all things LEGO. He had a blast and I loved how easy it was to follow the links and print out the materials that you had all laid out clearly in one place. I truly appreciate your labor of love and so does my boy Caleb! Have a wonderful weekend.
Yes, you can use it for a co-op class!! 🙂
I can't make the links work. I click on the blue words, but nothing happens.
It looks like when I revised it, the links didn’t save. I will work on that as soon as possible. Thanks.
It is fixed! Thanks for letting me know!
I am having trouble with the links. Could you possibly email them? Thank you for making these! They are fabulous!
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing this with us. My family is really going to enjoy this. I am amazed daily at the generosity and love shared between homeschoolers, whether it's on Facebook or Pinterest or through daily emails via blogs. I love every minute of being a fellow homeschooler.
Do you have a picture of the finished lap book?
Hi Julie,
You will find photos of our finished notebook here: http://www.walkingbytheway.com/blog/learning-with-lego/
Thanks! (I am updating the post now to include a link for others!)
This is SO generous of you to post your hard work for all of us to share in! It was actually an answer to prayer for me this week! THANKS!
Thank you, Leah. Enjoy!
thanks ami going to start this with my lego lover today
What age is this recommended for?
Ugh, I’m trying to download the LEGO unit study and it takes me to a reading challenge page from my laptop..but if i click to download on my phone through pinterest, i’m able to open it up. Any suggestions? It looks perfect for us right now!
