Create a headboard for a bed with Lego blocks. Measure the size of your bed. Use the large Duplo blocks to create a wall that is the same width as your bed. Add a small dot of hot glue between each block as you create the headboard to hold it together. Hold the headboard on the wall above your bed and mark where you would like it to go. The headboard should clear the mattress by at least 3 to 4 inches. Place the mounting brackets on the wall 2 to 3 inches from the top of the back side of the headboard. Use a tape measure to measure from the floor to the brackets to ensure the brackets are straight. Screw the brackets to the wall. Coat the back sides of the other part of the mounting brackets with hot glue and press onto the back side of the headboard. Hang the headboard on the wall.

Stencil Lego blocks in various locations along the walls. Create you own stencil out of poster board. Draw the shape of a Lego block on the poster board and cut out the shape. Tape the poster board stencil to the wall, or have someone hold it while you outline it on the wall. Paint the blocks bright red, green, yellow and blue. You can also hot glue large, green Lego building plates on one wall or half of a wall so that you can build Lego creations on the wall.
