Quest #8 - Your Favorite Book
This weeks challenge is to create something from your favorite book.
Daniel: I picked "Daniel in the Lion's Den" as my favourite story. Daniel is petting the lion because the angel closed its mouth. See the white bones in the den? Daniel is ok. They are waiting for King Darius.
This is definitely one of Daniel's favourite stories (for obvious reasons, I think) but I was not expecting him to grab a Bible for this challenge. One of his favourite books is all about knights and I was guessing that is what he would pick. I love the window as the exit from the lion's den. He spent a long time choosing the right Lego head for Daniel.
You can design anything you like from this book, like a character, an object, a scene, a design or even a feeling.
It can be directly inspired by the colourful pages of a picture book. Or it can come from deep in your imagination influenced by your favorite novel.
-- I read the challenge to the boys and sent them to the bookshelf to pick their favourite book... I was a little surprised at the choices, but the challenge turned out awesome for both of them! --

Jacob: It's a Nebula that looks like an eye. There are all the different colours of stars around it. It's hard to make it round.
Wow. Jacob's creation amazed me after the failed 2D attempt the other week. The fact that he combined two pictures he loves is just awesome. This is from National Geographic's First Big Book of Space. While I know that Jacob loves learning about Space I was not expecting him to pick this book either... and then I was wondering how he was going to build Jupiter because that is his favourite planet and usually the first part of the book he wants to read. I had absolutely nothing to do with this creation. I thought he would pick a book with tractors or construction vehicles.
This mama is super proud of these two boys.

Great challenge!These are both amazing! Jacob did a great job on his nebula -its awsome he chose a non-fiction book to build from. And Daniel's details are great!
I will pass on your praise Ashley! Thanks!!!
Nice post and pictures, good job boys!
I have to admit, though, that these Lego Quests remind me of this:

"Let them create whatever appeals to them."
I think our simple parental guidance was, "here you go, don't eat the blocks."
Keep up the posts, pictures, and all that good stuff! Just my two cents!
Awesome Marc. They do like to take apart their vehicles over and over to rebuild with instructions but they will also build for hours and create totally amazing things.
