I’m a big fan of Lego – I love the way it encourages creativity, concentration and imaginative play. My sons and I have whiled away many an hour happily sitting on the floor building, and I’m getting much better at sharing my blocks these days too.
I’ve got three boys and the older two have been getting Lego for birthday and christmas presents for years now so we’ve amassed quite a collection. We haven’t remotely kept all the various kits separate though and now have a messy box-load of the stuff which includes Ninjago (lots of ninjas, flying machines and fighty bits), Chima (weird claws, beaks and flames from what I can gather), City (houses, shops, beach-side diners) Hobbit (creatures and scenery), superhero (vehicles and set pieces) and even a sprinkling of Lego Friends (mostly pink). With all those to chose from, the boys come up with loads of different creations and i never know what they’re going to come up with next. The following is an example:
8yo son: “Look – we’ve made a lego wedding! Bride, husband, guests, person doing the wedding, singer…”
Me: “Great!… And who’s that over there?” (on the left)
8yo: “Oh, that’s just someone having his head chopped off for trying to kill the bride.”
Just your average wedding then…
There is, apparently, a proper Lego wedding set available but I bet it’s not a patch on this creation. I wonder what the dress code was?
This really made me laugh out loud, the casualness of the beheading is priceless. Becky #ftmob
Glad it made you laugh Becky! Thanks for commenting.
I haven’t quite gotten the hang of sharing my blocks either
It’s so difficult – the blocks are so tempting!
Well, that sounds like an amazing Tarantino Lego Wedding! #ftmob
Haha – yes very Tarantino… the bridge does look a bit like Uma Thurman come to think of it…
I have recently started buying Lego for our eldest and I can’t get over the designs and engineering that has gone into creating these toys.
I may sound old now, but they look nothing like they did in my day!
Thanks for sharing #ftmob
I know, there’s an ever increasing range! Still, I like the random blocks the best! Thanks for commenting Martin.
I’ve just written about Lego-brillaint isn’t it. We’ve just had to save the ‘baddie’ from being eaten by a shark, as you do
Tee hee. Yes Lego is such fun!
Fantastic, a beheaded bride! Doh! Lego is awesome isn’t it, you’re totally right in that encourages creativity we love it too xx
Yes, you never know what the kids are going to come up with next! xx
