LEGO MOVIE 2

Movie Making for Kids! 

(with stop time motion)

​

Movie Making for Kids! K-5th Grade - Movie

Making for Kids! gives students the opportunity to 

create their own stop motion animation videos.  

​

Your student can now direct their own movie with the LEGO MOVIE 2 LEGO movie Maker.  This class teaches the student how to recreate their favorite scene from the movie using the buildings, movie stage, camera stand and cool action props.  Use backdrops from the movie, a slide to move characters around, and characters from the movie itself!  Action props include Emmet's Escape Buggy, Rex's Rexplorer, a Sweet Mayhem mini-doll, brick-built Warrior Kitty, Star, Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi, alien invader figures, and a raptor figure.

​

Use any of our other LEGO bricks, action figures including dinosaurs and vehicles, and come up with your own story!
