Benefits of LEGO

We have just got our youngest into LEGO and see it as a great way to engage their creativity while keeping them away from the TV! It can be quite expensive, and LEGO has certainly changed since I was young – we used to mix up the pieces to make weird and wonderful creations, but now they are collectable, and ours prefers to keep their ships and vehicles intact.

They also look good around the house. It’s nice to see our youngest take some pride in the models they have made. We’ve started putting the sets in these display cases to keep them safe and tidy.

What are people’s experiences with LEGO, are there any other good creative toys for children to play with?
