The Moto-Plane

Thursday, April 26, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

My Moto-Plane is an AWESOME vehicle that is a half motorcycle half airplane. It has a captain driving in front with a little doggy and trainer in the back. The massive wheel in front is controlled by Captain. Plane wings are red and can fly anywhere, anytime, anyplace. Extra seats are provided safely on sides of the wings and wheels in back are for keeping the Moto-Plane controlled. And in the back there are extra pieces. Those are just funny-looking equipment. Also, if Captain gets tired he can lay back his seat and sleep while the Moto-Plane controls itself. If I were able to ride in this SWEET motorcycle-plane, I would go to the LEGO® store, my friend’s house, and fun places such as arcades, sports games, etc.

That's my idea of a COOL LEGO vehicle.

All Terrain Vehicle

Thursday, April 26, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

My dream machine is an All Terrain Vehicle. It goes on water, land, and air. My adventure is driving to the bottom of the sea to discover new creatures. There are red lights on my vehicle so that I can see under the water. It has a five-thousand horse-powered engine. My vehicle has an animal prodder on its front to gently move animals out of my way. After I come out of the water, I will have my creatures that I found in the back of my vehicle. Then I fly in my vehicle to the airport near an animal research program. Once I land, I drive to the animal research program and I show my creatures to the head research person. I found a very cool creature.

1 Cool Veicool

Thursday, April 26, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

I will go to Egypt in my cool veicool. It has a pump in it that carries water so people can drink becuase there isn't much water there. It can also fly over the pyramids, and it carries digging tools to find old things in the sand like fossils and jewlery. I would love to travel to Egypt in my 1 cool veicool becuase it would be so fun flying over the Sphinx.

Rocket RacerThis is my Rocket Racer. I would use its twin rocket boosters to get around faster than ever. I would use its Drag Racer features to race with my friends. The rockets make you tavel at nearly 1,000,000 mph. The Drag Racer features are good for derbys. All in all this would be a good car for me.

The Heliplane

Monday, April 16, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

My dream machine is the best in off-roading. It is 33% gator, 33% airplane, and 33% helicopter. It includes satellite, search engine, and steering wheel. It seats 5 people and a pilot. That is all the facts you need to know, now here is the real story.

When I go on an adventure, I fly, drive, and hover. If I were to go on an adventure with my dream machine, I would first drive out to the desert. I’d invite my friends and we’d go off-roading. I would drive over rock as ramps, do flips and donuts, and I would pop wheelies. After a couple of hours, we would head off to the ocean waters. We’d cross the Atlantic Ocean and stop to swim. To swim, I would set out the pontoons and stop and drop the anchor. Afterwards, we’d go into helicopter mode and hover around the jungles. We’d fight snakes, find hidden treasure in the caves, and even ride giant spiders. After all of our fun adventures, we’d hover, fly, and ride back home.

We would have been taking pictures throughout the entire trip, meaning we’d turn it into a photo album. Every day after the adventure, we would all get together, look at the album, and then check out the same car still sitting in my garage.

The XO

Monday, April 16, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

I will go all the way across the Pacific Ocean and visit China. I will stop there and try to see if a Chinese Dragon is really real.
Then I will hop aboard the "XO" and fly to Africa! I will land there in a herd of Rhinos and they will chase me, but the "XO" will be too fast for them. Not even a Cheetah will be able to catch me. After a good race with the Cheetah, I will fly back to Indiana, where I live. I will go to my play room and build an even bigger and better LEGO® flying machine and plan my trip to another GALAXY.

The LEGO Rocket Ark

Monday, April 16, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

With a sudden solar flare, an enormous amount of heat was sent from the sun to Mars. The red planet began to thaw. The ice quickly became water, and Martians that had been trapped in the ice for centuries began to come to life. The heat from the sun was so great and so sudden the ice almost instantly became water thus flooding the planet. The once red planet was now blue.

Knowing that their planet would one day turn from ice to water, the Martians prepared by building boats before all was frozen. These boats would become their homes and means of transportation. Millions of Martian boys and girls floated around on their houseboats every day with nothing to do since all their toys where underwater.

One Martian, who was lucky enough to visit earth on a cow harvesting expedition before the big freeze, remembered coming across an amazing toy during his adventure. The toy was called LEGO®. In fact he recalled that it was much more than a toy, it was also a tool for learning and developing creativity. The lack of fun and creativity on their boats was sucking the joy out of all Martian kids so he decided to send earth an SOS. The message read, “Urgent! Our kids are falling into extreme distress from the lack of playing and creating. SEND LEGO building bricks as soon as Martianly possible!"

Being that Mars was completely under water and around 250 million miles away we had to get creative with our means of transportation. Needing a rocket and boat, with the help of my two daughters, we combined the two and created the LEGO Rocket Ark. The LEGO Rocket Ark is set to launch May 11th 2012. Our first stop is LEGOLAND® Florida where we will load the Ark full of LEGO Building sets and Minifigures. From LEGOLAND Florida we will launch into space. 13 and half hours later we will land on the Moon for an hour to see if the suspension on the Ninjago Skull Truck rivals the moon land rover. (Apparently Lord Garmadon and Darth Vader have a little bet going.)

Our third and final stop will be the fourth planet from the sun, Mars. We will land the LEGO Rocket Ark in the Valles Marineris, the largest canyon in the Solar System, and now the home of thousands of Martians. There we will open up our doors inviting any and all Martians, young and old, to board the LEGO Rocket Ark to build, create, learn, and play LEGO.

The StarDust Shuttle

Monday, April 16, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

Evan was working on his new invetion - The Dark Spaceship. This spaceship was ready for its first launch. The Dark Spaceship could only hold 1 person. It had a newly designed motor on top, but old fashioned doors. It had a machine bomb gun on top for protection from asteroids. It had a large invisible collecting tank for Mars artifacts. It was invisible to keep his mission a secret. Evan blasts off to Mars. The hatch lifts over his head to allow him to explore. The shuttle locks itself and only opens for him. As he explores Mars he discovers a mysterious wrecked spacship that uses star dust for fuel. He decides to use that fuel in his spaceship. He has an idea to now fly his shuttle to the horsehead nebula (because he remembers this one looks cool). He will use the special collecting bars at the back of the tank to gather as much star dust as he can. His invisible collecting tank worked well. Because while returning to Earth he was attacked by mysterious spaceships like the wrecked one on Mars. They didn't see his collection, and so they didn't follow him back to Earth. He returned to Earth with a new power source. He was a hero, and started preparing the Stardust Shuttle for his next adventure.

The Adventure Squad

Monday, April 16, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

“Abby,” cried mom, “come on up stairs for dinner. You have been down in the basement all day!”
“I’ll be there in just a minute!” I called back. I had been working on the most amazing invention yet. I called it, the Turbo Horse. It could run like the wind, leap high in the air, and it was a beauty. It was just one in a group of animals I had titled “The Adventure Squad.” I had been working on it for months but kept it a secret. I decided I would test it after dinner. I could hardly wait!
“So Abby,” asked my little sister Katie once I sat down, “can you please tell us what you are doing?” My sister had been anxious ever since I started.
“As a matter of fact, I am going to test it tonight!”I excitedly answered as I scooped up the delicious corn soup mom had made. Katie and my younger brother Nathan looked at each other and quickly finished eating.
After dinner, we all ran outside and I revealed the Turbo Horse.
“Can I ride it first?” asked Katie.
“No, I want to go first,” Nathan argued.
“I ride,” declared my youngest two year old brother, Kevin.
“I think I’m going to test it first,” I said at last. So I climbed up the tail of the horse and strapped in. My mom watched anxiously from the front porch. This wasn’t my first invention. I was always coming up with ways to create new creatures out of Legos.
When I pushed the button that was supposed to make it go, it bolted forward, much faster than I expected, toward the city! Terrified, I held on as tight as I could. It was headed straight for a building! With all my might I pushed up a lever, and the horse leaped over the building! I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for it to be over. Landing safely on the other side, I finally yelled, “Stop!” The horse came to a halt.
“Where am I?” I asked myself. “I must be miles from home.”
“Help,” sounded a faint cry in the distance. “Help me, please!” I trotted closer to where the sound was coming from. I realized it was a girl about my age sobbing by the ocean shore. After talking with her a few minutes, I found out that her name was Claire, and her sister had been taken captive and was brought out to sea!
I had an idea. Using my phone, I signaled my robot Lego dolphin that had been docked at my house. Once it arrived, Claire and I hopped on its back and skimmed the water, hopping we could make it in time.
“It’s too late,” Claire cried as she watched the enemy in the distance taking her sister underneath the water in a domed ship. “If only we had a submarine so that we could follow them.” Then I remembered the robot Lego Turtle Sub I had made the year before! Instantly, I signaled it to also come to us. Once the turtle finally reached us, we climbed into its shell and started following Clair’s sister. I was glad that we were camouflaged inside a turtle. We followed them all the way to the bottom of the ocean. I couldn’t believe my eyes - there was a sunken boat!
“That was my father’s boat,” Claire whispered. “They’re trying to force my sister into telling them the code to the boat, so they can take the treasure inside.”
“Well we can’t let that happen,” I said confidently. So I drove the turtle straight ahead and it crashed into the dome on the boat and broke it. We managed to bring Claire’s sister in the turtle sub with us. We came back to the shore and notified the police, who then captured the enemy.
I was just glad that Claire and her sister were safe, and that I was back home with my family.

The Super Soar

Monday, April 16, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

Soaring through the sky, the wind blasting against her face, Katie couldn’t believe what had happened. While she was sleeping, her comforter had turned into a cocoon and she emerged as a butterfly! At first, she was trying to figure out how to fly. Then she got the hang of it.

A bird spotted her and without a moment to spare, she flew away as fast as she could. The bird was catching up, getting closer and closer! She ducked behind a leaf and closed her wings so she blended in with the leaves.

When she looked toward the ground, she saw a field of flowers. She smelled something really sweet, so she swooped down and landed on a flower, sucking the nectar. It tasted like the most delicious thing in the whole world!

Unfortunately, her alarm clock woke her up. She thought to herself, “If I could make something that could fly, I could go anywhere!”

Inspired by her dream, she began the design of a robotic butterfly. First she made blueprints. Then she went to her basement, and seeing all the different LEGOs she had, she knew she could build a butterfly.

When she was finished, she wondered where she should go first. She remembered the time when she heard her friend talking about LEGO LAND she said it was so much fun. She decided to go there.

First climbing onto her butterfly, Katie felt really nervous. She was afraid that the butterfly wouldn’t work and she’d just fall from a great height in the air. What if she couldn’t steer it right and bonked into buildings, breaking all kinds of things?

However, she didn’t need to be afraid. Her butterfly flew perfectly. All was going well until an airplane almost flew into her! She had to zoom down really fast to avoid being crushed.

She was out of control…It was just like her dream! But then after awhile she got back in control.

Finally, she steered it into the LEGOLAND parking lot. Katie couldn’t wait to go on the roller coaster, so the first thing she did at LEGOLAND was ride the fastest one there.

Then she went on a water slide. She also went to the pirate ship. After visiting Duplo Park, she got some lunch and then cotton candy for desert. Then she rested a little bit at a one of the water parks, went on more roller coasters and water slides, and then flew off on her giant butterfly.

She had a great day, but she still thought that her butterfly was the most terrifying ride of all – it was a dream come true.

Dino Attack Truck

Monday, April 16, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

I want to go back in time to the Dinosaur Times so I can fight them so they don’t wreck stuff. And, I also want to go back in time to the Dinosaur Times so I could see what the dinosaurs look like. And also I want to because it would be a good experience, and I could see how volcanoes work much better. And I also want to go to the time of the dinosaurs because I want to ride on a Pterodactyl.

My Dino Attack Truck is very cool, and it is also very good at fighting dinosaurs because it has a bullet cannon and a claw that has a black thing on it that looks like dinosaur food. The black thing looks like dinosaur food because it looks like black meat, so that would make the dinosaurs come closer. And it is very good for making them fall, because once you get my crane on my vehicle, it is very good for dinosaurs to chew on it, then I could lower the crane and make them fall.

The Soaring Swimmer

Tuesday, April 3, 2012 by Children's Museum Fan

The Boys’ Adventure

There was a boy named Nathan who had been working in his basement for eight days. Everyone was wondering what he was doing. When it was his birthday, he even skipped present time!

His best friends, Joey and Luke, said, “May you please show us what you are working on?”

Nathan said, “Come on, I’ll show you what I made!”

It was a three passenger plane. When they looked at it, they saw two boats on the plane. Nathan said, “I’ll show you around!”

When they looked under it, they wondered what they were going to see next. There was a great, big bomb! And Nathan said, “Do not use this bomb. It’s only for an emergency. If you use it, I will not be able to make another one, so if we are in trouble, we will not be able to use any kind of equipment.”

Joey asked, “What happens if we are in an emergency one time, and then we’re in another one?”

Nathan answered, “We’ll have to fly away.”

Joey and Luke asked at the same time, “Can we ride on it?”

Nathan said, “Of course!” This is where their adventure began.

While flying on the plane, they suddenly saw a very big, brown bear! When Joey and Luke saw it, Joey yelled, “Drop the bomb! Drop the bomb!”

Nathan said, “How can the bear reach us? We’re up in a plane!”

Another plane was going in the opposite direction, straight toward them!

Luke yelled, “Go under it!”

Nathan said, “Why can’t we just go around it?”

Joey said, “You’d better make these decisions fast!”

Nathan zoomed around the other plane, and they were safe once again.

Suddenly, while they were over the Atlantic Ocean, their plane ran out of gas.

Joey yelled, “Use the boats!”

Unbuckling, the boys climbed into the boats and landed straight into the water. Luke was afraid that they were going to drown. Nathan had an idea.

“Since we are in these boats, can we just turn around and go back home?” On their way home, they saw a shark chasing them. It wasn’t just one shark. It was actually eight sharks!

Joey said, “It is a good thing I have been in Shark Class.”

Suddenly, Joey’s boat ran out of gas. Nathan said, “It’s a good thing one of these boats holds three passengers!”

When Joey hopped onto the other boat, a shark was about to bite him. The good thing was that he did not get bit because Nathan remembered that his boat had turbo speed. They blasted away.

Back at home, the boys said, “Let’s make another creation.”

Then Luke said, “Here we go again!”
