This will be our last post where we show you what we have been doing with the ebook, Brick Animals. The next post will be a review of the whole book itself.
If you are new to Stories From Our LEGO Town, let me explain what we have been doing lately. The kids have joined the affiliate program for Educating Laytons Brick Ebooks. Stef and Jake Layton, a mother and son team, have written several brick ebooks and blessed us with a free copy of their ebook, Brick Animals, to review. The children have each tried several of the projects in the book and they have each posted about two of their Brick Animal projects.

For Munchkin's project, she chose to make an owl. This time when we did our Brick Animal projects I encouraged my children to do something different than what was in the book. I wanted them to use their own creativity and make their brick animals unique. Here is the page from Brick Animals that Munchkin used.
We learned about owls not long ago in our study of Little House on the Prairie in our homeschool. (You can see some of the things we did during that study at my homeschool blog, Dot-to-Dot Connections.) I think that is why Munchkin chose to make an owl. We also have been seeing quite a few snowy owls around here lately, which is probably why Munchkin decided to make a snowy owl, instead of the brown owl in the ebook.
As you can see, Munchkin also decided to show more of the owl's tree in her LEGO picture too. I figure she did pretty good for a four year old :)
