PrintSupplies Needed
Directions
1
On the back of the LEGO baseplate, mark the size you will need to fit it inside the lid of the lunch box. Keep in mind that you’ll want to cut it small enough so that the lid can still close.
2
Carefully use a ruler and press down with a utility knife to score the plastic. Bend the baseplate back and forth a few times and it will split where you’ve cut a line.
3
Glue the baseplate to the inside of the lunch box lid.
4
Place LEGO bricks inside the lunch box.
This is a quick ten-minute craft with a fun and functional result!
Now I’m thinking about what else can I do with LEGO baseplates! Here are a couple of unique ideas that I’ve seen online…

How clever is this DIY LEGO table? It was made with an inexpensive IKEA Lack side table, which just happens to be the perfect size for gluing four LEGO baseplates to the top. Genius!

Short on space? Repurpose a whiteboard by gluing LEGO baseplates to it. Then you can prop it up for some vertical play space, or even hang it on a wall where it won’t take up any floor space at all! It can also be used as a base for larger LEGO scenes, and then slid under a bed when not in use. Brilliant!
You can order a mini replica of your home made from LEGOs, but it’ll cost ya! 😱
