December is filled with wonder. From twinkling lights to snowy days and festive decorations, kids are surrounded by inspiration everywhere they look. With jumbo building blocks like Biggo Blocks, that excitement turns into hands-on creativity. These extra large building blocks are easy to stack, safe for all ages, and perfect for building seasonal creations big enough to impress the whole family.
Here are 7 creative holiday build ideas to make the season extra magical:
🎄 1. A Christmas Tree to Decorate
Build a blocky Christmas tree as tall as your child. Use different colors for ornaments or swap them out every day to keep the build fresh and festive.
✨ Skill Boost: Fine motor skills and color matching
🎯 Tip: Add a gold star block topper for extra cheer!
❄️ 2. A Snow Fort for Indoor Adventures
No snow? No problem. Kids can build their very own warm and cozy snow fort indoors using jumbo blocks. Perfect for pretend play or storytime hideouts.
✨ Skill Boost: Problem-solving and spatial awareness
🎯 Tip: Use white or blue blocks for a frozen-world look.
🛷 3. Santa’s Sleigh Ride
Kids can design a sleigh strong enough for stuffed animals — or even fit for Blocky himself! Add a seat, rails, and a front bar for “reindeer” to lead the way.
✨ Skill Boost: Imaginative role play
🎯 Tip: Pair with other holiday builds for a full Santa scene.
🧊 4. Mini Igloos and Arctic Worlds
Create a little winter village by rounding walls into dome-shaped igloos. Bring in toy animals or block-built polar pals for extra fun.
✨ Skill Boost: STEM learning through geometry
🎯 Tip: Add tunnels connecting one igloo to another!
🎁 5. Giant Gift Box Display
Surprise! Build gift boxes that kids can open, crawl inside, or use to store holiday treasures. Let kids choose colors that match their personality.
✨ Skill Boost: Decision-making and planning
🎯 Tip: Use bow-colored blocks for playful finishing touches.
🦌 6. Reindeer Models on Patrol
Create block antlers, four sturdy legs, and a happy face. Your child’s reindeer can pull Santa’s sleigh or wander a snowy block forest.
✨ Skill Boost: Balance and structure experimentation
🎯 Tip: Try different colors — who says reindeer can’t be rainbow?
⭐ 7. Holiday Characters and Friends
Build elves, snow monsters, gingerbread friends, or festive robots! Jumbo blocks give kids freedom to imagine and create their own holiday cast.
✨ Skill Boost: Storytelling and emotional expression
🎯 Tip: Ask your child to give each character a name and role in the story!
