Here's An Idea: Build Montclair Out Of Lego

What could be better than having more than 60,000 Lego TM building blocks at your disposal?

Indeed, the Montclair Art Museum is bringing back its family Lego program on Sunday, March 6.

Work with architect Stephen W. Schwartz of Building Blocks Workshops to visualize your community as you've never seen it before.

Using tens of thousands of blocks, families will be given a photograph of a specific building in Montclair to turn into a Lego TM model. These building models will then be placed on a 30 x 20 foot map of downtown Montclair.

The event is suitable for familes with children ages 5 to 14. Maximum of four persons per group, with at least one adult per group.

Space is limited to 50 families for the two-hour event, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., so register early.

Registration available at Aunt Jean's Toys and Treats, 12 North Willow Street in Montclair. Registration for the event begins Friday, Feb. 11.

The cost is $30 per family.

The Montclair Art Museum is located at 3 South Mountain Avenue. For more information about the event call MAM at (973) 259-5153.
