This week's Spokane County Interstate Fair 4-H Still Life Spotlight is Legos.
For a 4-H fair project with an America’s Birthday theme, build patriotic scenes using red, white, and blue bricks, such as a 3D American flag, a miniature Statue of Liberty, or a Fourth of July parade float. Create iconic landmarks like the White House or a scene featuring fireworks over a city skyline.
Patriotic 4-H LEGO Ideas
• Flag Scene: Build an American flag using red, white, and blue bricks, incorporating tiny white round studs for stars.
• Historical Landmark: Construct a miniature Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, or the White House.
• 4th of July Celebration: Create a scene showing a family picnic with a grill, red/white/blue food items, or a parade scene with tractors, trucks, and figures.
• Level 1 (Grades 3-5): Build a single, recognizable object like a flag, a firework, or a small monument.
• Level 2 (Grades 6-8): Create two related items, such as a parade float and a marching band member, or a park scene with a fountain and a monument.
• Level 3 (Grades 9-12): Build a complex, three-item scene like a, miniature, version of Washington D.C. featuring the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and Capitol Building.
