Our Story:
My kids have a LOT of Lego in the basement - so much that sometimes I think they are overwhelmed by all of it. They very rarely use it, even though they have a little table for it and it's frustrating, because part of me wants to get rid of it, but the other part of me says, "It's a great learning tool." So when I found this idea, I was SO excited to get started. During nap time one day, I went into the stash of Lego and started building simple structures. I started with about 8 and I figure if they really like the idea, I will make more elaborate ones, if they don't, maybe we do consider getting rid of them. I took a picture of each of my structures and then sent them off to Costco to get printed. Here are a couple of my creations.
The Verdict:
At first, my daughter was really excited and wanted to build the structures with daddy. She lost interest really quick and hasn't touched them since, even with a little bit of pushing from me. I am not ready to get rid of the Lego QUITE yet, I will keep it around with the pictures until my son is a little older, but I realize that even something like this is not going to get my princess girly-girl interested in building.
