Festival of the Masters

 Once a year Downtown Disney hosts an event: "Festival of the Masters." It's an outdoor art show.  It has lots of artist booths selling things.  There was also a lot of family interactive activities.  We went after school on Friday and only had time to do a few, so we did the 2 Lego activities.  The first was helping a "Master Lego Builder" make an 8 foot tall dragon.  There was a model of the dragon and it was made out of 2x4 lego bricks.

If you look closely at the above picture of the model you will see the right foot.  In the bottom picture you will see the foot of the big dragon made out of "bricks" that volunteers made.

The kids got to make "bricks" that were then used in the big model.  The bricks they made had 10 2x4 bricks in an open rectangle.  There were 3 layers of those and then a layer of 5 2x8 and 2 1x8.

After they got done making their bricks they were inspected and then given to the Master Builder to make the dragon.

 Here is Samuel with his "Certificate of Achievement" for participating in an Official Lego Building event.

The other activity we did was to help make a Lego mosaic that is going to go on one of the Disney Cruise Ships.  Everybody got a 2"x2" tile that had colors on it.  Then you had to use 1x1 Lego's to match the colors and fill in your tile. 

 After you filled in your tile you took it to a huge Lego board and it was put in by number.

Here's how William spent the whole time.

This was a great day.  Too bad Ben was out of town and missed it.  We'll take him next time.
