We have a small bedroom that is now known as the "Lego Room" and it's got 2 tables and 2 desks and a motherload of legos all scattered on the floor, and the kids go in there and just work work work now that they've got all these exciting new ideas in their heads from this book (mostly my kids ages 6 thru 11 ... Joe's starting to think himself too old for Legos... sad day)
But most of the other kids are doing all sorts of creative stuff like:
Mel made Wall-e (isn't he cute!) this was her own idea, but was inspired by the robot section in the book. I like the book cause it gives them ideas, and then I mostly like to see the stuff they make up on their own. Do you like the lego Family pictures Mel made for her girl's house below?
The wife and hubby kissing on the left there made me laugh. :)
Bedroom furniture with vanity! (This is Abi's with help from Mel)
Hyrum made Indiana Jones' office
This is Indy's living room - not sure if it's a tv or fireplace, but many valuable artifacts on the mantle there. So the book is great, keeps the kids going and going with lots of creative ideas and imagination.
I gave that book to Neil for Christmas. It is great. I also got him The Unofficial Lego Builder's Guide that he also really likes. No pictures just techniques for building. He's not done reading it so I couldn't tell you if it's worth it or not.
ReplyDeleteJoe- you are NEVER too old for legos! To say such a thing is just blasphemous!
