4-H Building Bricks Challenge Series: December Challenge

Save the date!

Youth ages 8 to 18: Compete in our virtual building brick challenge series to show off your original builds with plastic building bricks like LEGO and MEGABLOKS! Each month, from October to December, we’ll offer a new build challenge to celebrate the launch of our new Creating with Building Bricks 4-H project. For our challenges youth create their own original builds following the month’s theme and size limits, then submit info on their build, along with photos of the build electronically.

December

• Theme: Habitat Build
• Build a LEGO habitat. A habitat is a small, diorama-style scene featuring 1 minifigure, built on an 8x8 plate base. Habitats are designed to be stackable. Habitat scenes show minifigures at work, home, and play! They are essentially individual "rooms" or spaces that can be connected to create a larger display.
• Size: Build must follow “habitat” rules, so it must fit on an 8x8 stud plate base and must have 2 walls that take up 1 stud each direction (if you don’t have a plate this size, you can build on a bigger plate or base plate and just keep your build contained to this size). Read these Habitat Tutorial Instructions from @brickfambuilds x bradyjoynerbricks or watch this Lego Habitat Tutorial YouTube video from Michael Shell for tips on how to create a habitat. Builds should only contain 1 habitat!
• Entries due by 11 pm on December 31, 2025.
