Halloween LEGO Candy Corn Challenge

I have candy corn on my brain lately. Earlier this fall I shared with you two fall festival games with fall-themed. There was one called “Candy Corn Color Match” and another called “Candy Corn Ring Toss”. Today I am going to share with you a Halloween LEGO challenge. Originally the idea was that my son would replicate a candy corn LEGO build I made. He decided he would issue me a challenge too.

My Halloween LEGO Challenge

After searching through our LEGO bucket to find all the orange , white, and yellow bricks, I built candy corn with some of them.

The remaining bricks were placed in my son’shardhat. (It was the closest toy to the brick bucket that could hold the bricks.) Then I asked my son to build candy corn that would be symmetrical to mine. Yes, it needed to be a perfect match in size and shape.

After looking through the bricks, he quickly realized that there were not the same amount of bricks in the same colors I had used. He would have to combine some smaller bricks to equal my larger bricks.

He kept holding his brick candy corn build up to the one I made to see if they matched. If they matched, they would be symmetrical.

More than once I noticed him counting the exposed bumps on my bricks to see if he had the same number.

This activity was super challenging, but it did make him think. He had to plan for ways to work around the fact that he couldn’t use the same bricks I did. If the build looked off, he had to decide what part of the candy corn needed to be rebuilt.

What I love best about this activity is that when he had finished building, he had me recreate the candy corn he had made. He then had control of all the available bricks. I had to quickly think about what bricks to use.

I really do mean quick. He decided one I had built his candy corn we need to race. We both took apart our candy corn and had to rush to try to rebuild it. Thankfully he chooses a simple build. Unfortunately, he has really fast fingers.
