Junkyard Wars

Carson and Cameron LOVE the show Junkyard Wars and many times watch it on movie night. Carson had an idea to create our own Junkyard Wars and since we have binfuls of Legos handed down from Carson's 15yo cousin, Henry we decided to to go for it.
I created a challenge and gave each person 30minutes to build their creations and then we challenged them. One challenge was to build a vehicle that would penetrate a spear deepest into playdough and the other challenge was to build a amphibious vehicle that would run on the track on our outdoor water table. Carson did really well and thought through his design very carefully before building - even making a diagram. Cameron really liked it too, but needed quite a bit of assistance making his creation.
