All on board
Amber and Simon made this wonderful vehicle the other day.
All Lego-people were invited to go on a tour and as you can see they were all enjoying it very much.
The children have discovered Michel's old Lego and are having a lovely time with it. I'm amazed at what kind of constructions they come up with, even Simon.
Simon builds anything with anything anyway. Today he built a house of cars. And he is able to build bridges for hours with just the pillows of the sofa.
I'm really happy that both our children have the ability to play by themselves and need only few toys in their play. Just some cars, pencils or books and they're amused for hours on end.
I do realise that I sort of forced them to be like that, because I'm simply not a mother that keeps them occupied all day (or even parts of the day).
I'm also sure that the fact that we don't have a television helps to stimulate their fantasy and creativity. At least it gives them more time to do so!
As a child I wasn't very good at playing alone, so I think that's why I appreciate the ability even more in my own children.
I think you are lucky too, to have kids that can amuse themselves. Mine can do it sometimes, but I must admit they use the television a bit too much - especially Julian.
Love the lego train - kids still love lego, don't they.
cheers

Lovely new header! I often see floors full of toys and kids that don’t know what to play with. When I was young we did not have TV, only radio and only a few things to play with. It encouraged me to be creative!

Lego truly is the best toy in the world! My brother (who will be 40 this year) still gets a lego kit every Christmas!! Family tradition!
Did you see the story in the summer that a giant lego man (2m tall) got washed up on a Dutch beach?

One of the best toys ever invented! Only that in some unlucky cases, the parents take over from their kids! Must be the kids in them! LOL Or maybe they just did not out grow them!
