At last, my long-awaited LEGO post!
You can start by putting the LEGO website on your little enthusiast’s KidDesktop. Of course, this is a huge site with lots of pieces to explore. So, here are a couple of activities that my boys particularly enjoy:
Last thing. My kids really got a kick out of this YouTube video. It’s in the “Oh no, Mr. Bill” tradition. Very amusing for both kids and their parents to watch the poor LEGO man attempt to fly.
OK, my boys are officially addicted to watching model trains on YouTube, with a definite leaning towards LEGO trains. I don’t know if this latest obsession is leftover from the holiday season or just kids and trains, but in either case they love it!
Here is a cute one from the Great Western Lego Train Show: (Soundtrack courtesy of The Dandy Warhols, and it doesn’t even make me nuts when they watch it 3 times in a row!)
Here’s another example, this time with music from Futurefunk. Not quite as good as the first one, but pint-sized train or LEGO enthusiasts will like it.
More LEGO to come next week…
