Anyone who’s played with Lego knows you can build amazing creations from those tiny bricks. But artist Sean Kenney has really gone wild with giant Lego animals that almost look real. This 5-foot-wide peacock uses more than 68,000 pieces of Lego, and a polar bear with her cubs uses a whopping 125,000 bricks. The heaviest animal Sean has built weighs 400 pounds all by itself — which might be why Sean now owns more than 4 tons of Lego.
Lace up: 
If the mama Lego polar bear has 3 cubs, how many bear family members did Sean build?
If the mama Lego polar bear has 3 cubs, how many bear family members did Sean build?Jog: The peacock tail uses 3 shades of blue, 4 shades of green, a grey and a brown. How many colors is that?
Sprint: If you stack a blue brick, then a green, a grey, and a brown, then start over with blue to repeat, what color is the 13th piece?
Hurdle: If Sean owned exactly 4 short tons of Lego, how many pounds would that be? (A short ton has 2,000 pounds.)
High Jump: If you build your own Lego anteater, and the number of bricks is halfway between the 32,000-piece leopard and the 60,000-piece butterfly, how many pieces do you use?
Pole Vault: Quick: if each row of the peacock’s eyes has 2 more eyes than the row before, and 3 touching rows have 48 eyes, how many eyes does the longest row have?
Answers:
Lace up: 4 polar bears.
Jog: 9 colors.
Sprint: Blue.
Hurdle: 8,000 pounds of Lego.
High Jump: 46,000 pieces. The other two animals are 28,000 pieces apart, so yours is 14,000 more than the leopard and 14,000 less than the butterfly.
Pole Vault: 18 eyes. If all the rows were the same, they’d each have 16 eyes (48 divided by 3). We can then just shift 2 eyes from one row to another to get 14, 16, and 18.And thank you Sean for letting us share your incredible pictures!
