Fun With LEGO Mini Figures - Create Your Own Mini Fig Printable

 The LEGO obsession continues in our home.  

I've written about LEGO organization and now I'm working on some LEGO printable activities.  Thank goodness for my LEGO Pinterest board, where I can keep all the wonderful ideas I find organized! 

In our homeschool co-op this semester I am teaching a LEGO class to twelve second and third grade children.   What fun we are having!
