Lego???
I was sitting here with my laptop and my cup of tea and my youngest ds 4 walked into the livingroom and tipped out a tub of 1000 Lego bricks all over the floor. Then my eldest ds 14 comes into the room to show me the huge fancy articulated Star Wars style space station thingy he has spent about three hours building with Lego bricks; he then proceeds to ask if using the Lego designer programme on the PC counts as computer art on his lesson log. Then middle ds 12 comes to show me the Harry Potter lego game he’s been playing. As I sit here with typing away I suddenly realise that my entire life actually revolves around tiny plastic building bricks. They are everywhere. They are taking over. They are under the sofa cushions, in the sugar tub, in the bread bin, on the floor, even in the cat’s litter tray…. These seemingly harmless multi-coloured plastic playthings are brainwashing the children and attempting to take over my entire home and life! SO BEWARE! If you have not yet encountered the Lego years, be prepared for them to invade every niche of your life. Maths - counting Lego bricks. Art - building with Lego bricks. English - spelling out words with Lego bricks. Science - do Lego models float? Life Skills - tidying up Lego bricks. Computer Skills - online Lego games. Perhaps once these little plastic blocks have invaded every home on the planet they will reveal their ultimate purpose and become the dominant life form! Happy Model Building One and All! xx

Did you know they have a FREE Lego Magazine for fans? I did a post on my blog. You can read about it at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/coffeewithmrsdani/508527/
And you will find links to the webpages plus a tip on how to clean them.
