STEM Inspiration: Lego Thanksgiving Centerpieces

November 14, 2017 by Sarah White 2 Comments

Your kid (or you) might not be able to create these amazing Thanksgiving centerpieces and projects with Legos that were featured on Apartment Therapy, but they might provide fantastic inspiration for you to put a little DIY and STEM fun into your holiday decorating.

You’ll find amazing Lego turkeys like the one pictured, Lego pie and more.

Maybe you can challenge the kids — and everyone else — at your Thanksgiving table to fashion their favorite part of the meal out of blocks. Or try making Lego leaves, pumpkins and other symbols of the season. Then put them all together to decorate your table.

To get you started, here are the instructions for a classic Lego build: the Lego turkey dinner. Talk about playing with your food!

Engineering and turkey all in one day? What could be better?

Book Review: Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook – Girl Group Edition

If you have a K-pop fan in the house, this is one of those books that feels like an easy gift win.

The Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook: Girl Group Edition is packed with puzzles, games, fan trivia and plenty of stickers, with groups including BLACKPINK, TWICE, LE SSERAFIM and HUNTR/X from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

It’s definitely more fun activity book than serious K-pop encyclopedia, which I actually think is part of the appeal. There are mazes, crosswords, bias-themed games and little references for fans to spot, plus 16 sticker sheets for decorating journals, photo books and anything else that happens to be within reach.

If your K-pop obsession started with K-Pop Demon Hunters, we’ve already got a few more ideas worth checking out, including our free K-Pop Demon Hunters coloring pages and digital images and these K-Pop Demon Hunters learning activities and printables.

And yes, K-pop has even made its way into the craft room with these K-Pop Demon Hunters cross stitch patterns.

I think this fanbook would make a cute birthday present, Christmas stocking filler or addition to a K-pop themed gift basket. Add some gel pens, a journal or photo-card binder and you’ve got a gift that feels a bit more thoughtful than simply grabbing another piece of merchandise.

The book is due for release on October 6, 2026, and based on the preview, it looks like a fun little pick for younger K-pop fans, tweens, teens and sticker-loving grown-ups who are absolutely not admitting how many sticker sheets they already own.
