I made these Legos for who else but my nephew who is obsessed with Legos right now! I even discovered they can be a great way to teach kids how to juggle! They are really light so it’s easy to throw them in the air and catch. These are a great little gift for any Lego lover and besides being used for juggling they can work as mini bed pillows and more…

With Wrong Sides facing upwards and yarn needle sew Rectangles and Squares together as pictured below. 4 Rectangles attached across and on the second Rectangle from the right sew one square above and one below it.
Flip the piece over so Right Side is up. Stuff both circles with fiberfill and then sew them over the Rectangle with the two Squares (Rectangle number 2).
With Right Sides folded together, Sew the long edge of Rectangle no. 4 to the long edge of Rectangle no. 1.
Sew 3 sides of one of the squares to the Rectangles. A 3D Rectangle is forming. Sew only two sides of the second square; leaving a gap to flip the Cube inside out and insert the Foam filling.
Cut 6 pieces of 2″x4″ out of the Foam. Insert 2 pieces of Foam per Lego through the gap we previous left. Seal the gap by sewing it together. Shape the Cube with your fingers to give it straighter corners and your Lego is ready to Play with!
