Little Coloured Bricks

Adults who played with Lego as kids have now forgotten how to go about the blocks when they are building with their own chidlren. This creativity can wane after a few “Legoless” years but can be regained if you practice everyday. You would notice that your kids are actually doing better than you are but don’t fret, you can always take a look at the instructions. If however you bought a pail of Lego blocks and your son or daughter wants you to build a castle without a blueprint, then you would probably need to look for instructions online or you can take a look at one of our old How-To articles and learn how to build a Lego Castle.

Regaining your Lego-building prowess may take some time but as the adage goes, patience is a virtue and you should be very patient when building with your child even if he or she is a much better builder than you are. Master Lego brick building again by spending an hour a day to play with your kids, apart from learning how to build again you will also be building your relationship with your children. you might even get a “The World’s Best Dad”  or “The World’s Best Mom” mug for Christmas. Now that’s not bad.

Those Legoless years where all of us are busy with school and work and building our families is time well-spent of course but now that we all have the time to play with old toys when we were kids with our own children, we should make the most out of it.

Many hands-on moms and dads build with their kids and this is truly a great way to bond as a family. As a Lego enthusiast said in a blog “A family that builds together, stays together”  or maybe they build a great bond so to speak.
