They do not discriminate between legos, tinker toys, trio blocks, lincoln logs, megablocks, K'nex, wooden blocks, erector sets and superstructs. Blake would probably tell you that Legos are the best. But he has made a myriad of objects out of all the above. This started at a very young age for him. His brothers have followed suit.
We have some sets that are supposed to be a particular item, like Diego's animal hospital or Thomas the Train mountain station. Blake and Noah have Lego sets that are Star Wars or Space related stuff or Cars and Construction sets. But they are happiest and most creative when they simply design items with their own imagination.
Take the other day for example - Blake, Noah and Andy were all playing with the trio blocks. We have been given probably 10 different sets and I got tired of the many cardboard boxes, so I dumped them all into one large tub. To be fair, I did save all the instruction sets if they WANT to follow a set. These are two of the creations they designed:
One day, Blake made a guitar and microphone/stand out of tinker toys. I was pretty impressed by that!
What kind of things do your kids enjoy doing? Do you join them in their fun?
