Decorated LEGO® Education Christmas Tree

Decorated LEGO Education Christmas TreeThe LEGO® Education Christmas Tree was looking a bit bare so we’ve been busy decorating it on Tree Dressing Day to bring some seasonal cheer to our office.

Our Christmas Tree has been made and decorated with LEGO® DUPLO® bricks and LEGO® bricks and has really helped kick-start our festive season! We’ll be sharing some more festive creations in the lead up to Christmas and would love to see any Christmas or winter scenes that your class builds using your LEGO bricks.

LEGO® Education Christmas Tree

LEGO® Education Christimas TreeFollowing on from last week’s National Tree Week, and in anticipation of National Tree Dressing Day tomorrow (06 December), we have built our own tree using LEGO® DUPLO® bricks and LEGO® bricks to celebrate the Christmas season.

A great idea for the classroom is to build your own Christmas scenes using bricks. We’d love to see any wintery or Christmas scenes your class creates. We’ll be decorating our tree tomorrow – be sure to come back to see how it looks!
