In front of me there’s a bonfire and behind me there’s a fish pond and a dog kennel for the dog. Our dad is cooking a special lunch on the bbq. He’s cooking fish. The other photo is of what’s inside the house; Elijah, my brother, is on the computer typing out emails to his friends."

by Keira, age 5, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

by Luke, age 11, Southern New Jersey Shore, USA.

"This odd creation shows two Bionicle Figures playing a game of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu. The one on the right lost the round and is really angry. This is actually a symbolic representation. First, I like Bionicles, as expressed in the two figures. The one on the left has ice powers that show I love the snow. The one on the right has shadow powers that show my nightophobia (fear of the dark). The custom Ninjago characters represent my passion for minifig building while the arena shows that I really like Ninjago Sets. The two Bionicle figures are sitting on Heroica Boxes because I am addicted to Heroica games. As a side note, the Bionicle on the right, called Teridax, has Chronic Loser Syndrome or CLS. Despite the fact that he played a usually crippling set of Ninjago Battle Cards, he lost. As if to add insult to injury, Teridax forgot about the card that could have completely prevented his loss because of how upset he was that he lost. The left Bionicle, Avkazot, isn't quite sure what to do because this is the first time he has ever seen Teridax throw a fit. I have been in situations somewhat similar to both Bionicles."

by Xanti, age 11, California, USA.

"This is me building one of my first personal creations, of course, the actual creation was bigger but..."

by Simon, age 9, Saskatchewan, Canada.

by Raymond, age 7, USA.

"This is his face. The black is his hair, the whites are his eyes, the greys are his ears, the green is his nose. He is smiling a very big smile."

by Luke, age 8, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

"A self portrait of Luke doing computer technology work."

by Will, age 5, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

"A self portrait of Will riding a fast snow sled down a hill."

by Rory, age 8, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

"Rory likes to eat ice cream and fish with his dad."

by Penina, mom of Tal, who is age 12, Southern California.

"I had three ideas, and ended up combining two of them: A picture frame, and a combination of different minifigure heads to represent the many different sides of me (including Momo!). Tal took the photo."

by Zach, age 9, Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

"I created a Lego Ninjas Apprentice design, where the scene takes place in the Skeleton King's Lair. The skeleton king is fighting the ninja near the wall. The other two skeletons are the henchmen and the skeleton with the red head is the personal body guard of the skeleton king. The reason for the fight, the skeleton king is trying to take over the world, and have everyone obey him. The ninja and his apprentice are fighting to prevent this takeover. The irony is, people think he's trying to unleash darkness, but in reality, he's afraid of darkness, and attempting to release bright colors, because the people in that town are afraid of flying colors. That's why the skeleton's lair is brightly colored. Finally, when the skeleton king releases his flying colors, the people will be forced to obey him."

by Bill, age 6, New South Wales, Australia.

"I had a lot of fun with this challenge. I made the man's head a long block and moved his body over to make it look crazy!"

"When I read the description of the challenge, I thought of people walking up walls and random stuff. So, I found some Duplo heads and added them to mini-fig bodies. One mouse head has a tree on top and he's holding a mini-fig head and a shield. Then, I made them do unrealistic
things. Then, I remembered how my rock monsters aren't real. So, I made them do things that were not real like putting a long blue stick hanging from one rock monster's hand into the mouth of another. There is a skeleton horse sitting on top of a platform and another horse in the middle of nowhere, eating grass."

In my lego sculpture the fox is watching TV and on the TV there are men claiming a pizza with flags. The lego figure that is holding the flag was too late to claim the pizza. You can look through the television and see it happening in real life. This is really surreal."

by July, age 6, New South Wales, Australia.

“I like the painting by Rene Magritte where the artist was painting a bird while he was looking at an egg. This is my version using heads as eggs.

The person at the front right is painting a portrait of a boy and he has glued real hair on the top."
