Lego Challenge Cards
Many kids love to make-up their own inventive creations out of Lego. That is wonderful – such a great way for them to explore their imaginations and creativity. It teaches children the importance of persisting with a task to see their vision realized, take their time / finish a task / persevere, strengthen coordination and fine motor skills, and follow complex designs.  However, some children get stuck on what should they create. Still others are looking for new challenges on what to create. And still more are just looking for more excuses to build with their favorite building material.
Famous Landmarks in the World
To complete this famous landmarks around the world, simply print the full color famous landmarks printables. I suggest printing in color on cardstock or laminating for durability.
