#KeepBuilding With LEGO

May 10, 2015 by Alison 13 Comments

This post isn’t sponsored. I did receive an awesome LEGO Set at the Mom 2.0 Summit that I attended a little over a week ago, but writing a post wasn’t a requirement to receive them. LEGO is just that cool.

 

I am writing this today because when I think about what LEGO means and what it stands for, family is one of the first things that comes to mind and what is more important than family on Mother’s Day? Seriously, LEGO is a family tradition. In my house, LEGO is a common ground. Hubby and I played with them when we were kids (okay, maybe as adults too), my kids love creating with LEGO, and I’m sure their kids will too. How cool is it that a “toy” can still be an ice breaker or a relationship helper through the generations.

When new kiddos of friends or family come over, they’re always willing to play with LEGO so strangers no more. Maybe my teen son and I have a spat…LEGO is a great activity to make-up over. When my toddler daugher wants to play with Duplo and her big brother helps her build, that’s a bonding moment between siblings that no other toy or activity can provide. And they’re not just for playing…not even close. LEGO is a creative outlet whether you’re 3 or 33, its fun, its a memory maker…LEGO is family.

Some people may think I’m a bit of a weirdo for feeling so strongly about little pieces of plastic, but if you think about it, there aren’t that many things in life that everyone in the family, no matter their age, can get excited about collecting, creating, and sharing. I think if you ask around, you’ll find that a lot of people would actually say they agree and LEGO is much more than just a toy  – it’s a memory maker.

 

Are you a LEGO family? What activities bring your family together time after time? Let me know in the comments below and thanks for reading!

    Actually I don’t think Legos were around when I was a child. But I spent many hours playing and building things with my friends children!

    LEGO is awesome like that! I love how creative kids can be with LEGO blocks. They did a great job! I picked some up from Mom 2.0 and still haven’t made anything!

    My boys could and do sometimes spend hours building Legos. We just had a family competition last night actually 🙂

    You’re 100% right, Legos transcend ages in terms of people loving to play with them. My 16 yr old daughter and my husband both are as happy to dig right in and play as is my 7yr old. 🙂

    Legos have come a long way from when I was a kid. I admit it always bothered me when I couldn’t get the pieces exactly centered the way I wanted. I’m amazed at what can be built with the new kits and sets.

    My daughter loves those Duplo’s. I got her a nice Disney Princess set for her birthday.

    LEGO has always been such an important part of innovative, creative play. I loved playing with LEGO sets when I was a kid, and my stepdaughters have been all about them throughout their childhoods.

    We are big fans of Lego. It’s a special thing that my husband and kids like to do together. It’s so fun to see them figuring it all together.

    My boys love legos and we even enjoy going to our Library’s lego club! My husband and son have even bonded over building the big expensive legos together.

    I think Legos are the best toys! Except when you step on them!

    So, we have a Lego table. This is a ginormous, beautifully stained, wood table built by my husband that sucks up half my family room. Complete with edging to keep the Lego roads and such from being pushed off …because my family agrees with you, Legos are that cool.

    You are so right about Lego. There aren’t many products out there that have been loved by generations.

    I really like them too because they’re open-ended and encourage creativity and imagination!
