When Playtime Meets Purpose

Ever watch your kids build something just for the fun of it… and then surprise you by turning it into a mini masterpiece? That’s the kind of energy we’re channeling this Memorial Day. Because when it comes to helping kids learn and reflect while still having fun, Biggo Blocks are the perfect building blocks for kids of all ages.

This Memorial Day, why not blend creativity, conversation, and celebration into one joyful activity? Biggo Blocks make it easy to build meaningful displays that honor the spirit of the holiday, all while helping your kids learn through hands-on play.

5 Memorial Day-Inspired Builds with Biggo Blocks

Here are some build ideas that honor the holiday and keep little hands with big imaginations busy.

1. American Flag Build

USA flag built using jumbo building blocks from Biggo Blocks.

Use red, white, and blue jumbo blocks to create a giant American flag. Let kids count out the stripes, match colors, and decide where the stars go. It’s a great visual intro to U.S. history—plus it makes a pretty awesome backdrop for holiday photos.

Pro Tip: Add a quick history moment while they build. Ask them what the stripes and stars represent!

2. Build a Backyard Monument

Inspired by real-world landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial or the Washington Monument, this build taps into engineering and creativity. Use the taller blocks to create columns and steps—then add a DIY sign to name your creation!

STEM Tie-In: Discuss how real monuments are built to last and talk about balance, weight, and foundation.

3. Patriotic Star Sculpture

Arrange blocks into a 3D star using a pattern or freestyle. Kids can experiment with symmetry and shapes as they figure out how to build something that stands tall and looks awesome.

Bonus: Light it up with battery-operated lights for an evening tribute display.

4. Castle of Courage

A colorful castle made entirely out of jumbo blocks from Biggo Blocks.

Nothing says "tribute" like a fortress! Use the jumbo blocks to build a big red, white, and blue castle—complete with battlements. Talk about what courage means and how the people we honor on Memorial Day showed it.

Make it Meaningful: Write messages of thanks or place small handmade flags around the base.

5. Memorial Day Picnic Table

Need a place to serve snacks or host a pretend tea party? Build a backyard table using sturdy Biggo Blocks. It’s functional, fun, and a great example of building with a purpose.

Level Up: Have kids create placemats or flags to decorate their new DIY picnic station.
