A couple weeks ago, I found these cool wood shadow boxes at Hobby Lobby. Their wood items were on sale for 40% off, which they often are, so they were only $4.80 apiece.

We’ve been having so much fun building little shadow box scenes! There are so many possibilities with this. In fact, this LEGO building challenge would be really fun to do with a group or LEGO club because it would be fun to share ideas and see what everyone builds.

Supplies Needed:

  • Wood shadow box – the one I used is 6″ x 6″ and 4″ deep. I can’t find this item on the Hobby Lobby website, but they have them in the store. Amazon also has several shadow box options, but I had trouble finding one with a 4″ depth.
  • LEGO bricks and minifigures

And that’s it!

First, I built this little coastal town. I was going for the look of the colorful houses that line coastal towns around the world.

I chose to make all the scenes a single unit that can be slid in and out of the shadow box.

Here’s a close up view of the little sail boat.

My son Owen and I built this little bedroom scene together. It turned out so cute!

The room has bunk beds, a night stand, a desk, and a dresser.

Here’s a better view of the room.

Owen made this little dresser and it’s ADORABLE.

The bunk beds are a simple design.

Next, Owen built an outdoor scene with a fishing pier.

Little scenes like this are a great way to use the Series minifigures!

Finally, I built this Star Wars scene. What movie is it from? I don’t know. I just came up with something that looked like Star Wars, and my kids were actually impressed! Ha.

More LEGO Scene Ideas:

  • A burning building and fire fighters
  • A coffee shop
  • A library
  • A park/playground
  • A Marvel superhero scene
  • A western shootout
  • A police officer and a bad guy
  • A school classroom
  • Droids on Tatooine
  • An outer space scene
  • A castle and a dragon or knights
  • A fairytale house
  • A car mechanic
