Lego Challenge 1 - Stonehenge

Welcome Lego lovers to this brand new feature on the History Magpie!  Every Friday at noon (eastern time), for the whole year of 2015 you will find a history centered Lego building challenge. The challenges will run chronologically, more or less, through the year. After you complete your fabulous creation link up so others can enjoy. Happy Building

History Magpie Lego Challenge 1 Stonehenge

The first challenge is Stonehenge.  The rules are simple, build Stonehenge out of Legos.  It can be as we see it today or as it might have looked thousands of years ago.  You can build just the stone circle or more of the building complex that archaeologists are still discovering.

    This is such a great idea! My boys LOVE legos and we'll look forward to your posts!

    I'm in the Boost class and trying to visit everyone tonight to get a feel for their blogs. I love History and reading (and I'm on blogger, too) so I have a feeling we'll get along just fine. :)
