Fidget spinners are all the rage right now, capturing the attention of kids, teens, and even adults everywhere. These small gadgets have become a huge trend, and finding the best fidget spinners on store shelves can be somewhat challenging due to their overwhelming popularity. In many cases, they sell out almost immediately after hitting the shelves, leaving shoppers scrambling to get their hands on one. If you’re a parent, there’s a good chance you grew up playing with LEGO bricks, spending hours building, creating, and imagining.
Well, here’s some good news—those same colorful building blocks are not just for constructing towers and castles anymore. It turns out LEGO pieces are also perfect for building your own DIY fidget spinners at home! Not only is it a fun project, but it’s also a great way to get creative and involve your kids in a hands-on activity that combines play and learning.
Sarah of Frugal Fun For Boys and Girls blog has created an awesome and easy tutorial for creating the ultimate LEGO fidget spinner. Generally, fidget spinners are made with bearings which lets them spin for several minutes. This DIY LEGO fidget spinner uses a unique axle instead and still allows a smooth spin that will help cure boredom in minutes.
First, here are the LEGO parts you’ll need:
- 1 6×6 round plate
- 2 4×4 round plates
- 1 2×2 round plate with axle hole
