There are artists out there creating the most amazing Lego stop motion cooking animations. The short artworks look like standard cooking videos, but are entirely made from Lego – with different artists using bricks in different ways. There are even ASMR soundtracks to complete the experience.
My children actually stumbled upon these when looking over my shoulder during an Instagram doom scroll, and now they beg to watch the artists’ entire show reels almost daily. It’s some of the best Lego art I’ve seen.

Check out their Instagram here for oodles of clips, including behind the scenes explainer videos, and a compilation video above.
Tomosteen takes a different approach – combining real food with Lego to create a mixed media piece my kids (and I) find completely magical. See their work below, and find more on their YouTube account.
