Remember when we were kids, we had Legos growing up? Always building buildings, animals or anything we could think of or at least to what our imagination allowed us to believe. Then we would rush to show it to our parents, with such pride, in our eyes, of our work of what we built. Just to hear them say, “Oh, wow, look at that!” or “Oh, how cool!” Never did I think that it would be twice as fun to build, now that I have a daughter!

My daughter received a couple boxes, one of city Lego farmer’s market. We had to build a veggie truck and a stand to go with it. The other called wild animal rescue missions. Where we built a truck and an alligator from the wilds!

There were directions to the veggie truck, like an actual step by step book, like the good old times. With the wild animal rescue missions, we had to download the QR code and follow the story line to making the truck and alligator. Huge difference there, for me at least.

Let me tell you, that was an experience! Me, being technically prone, was a pretty, interesting, intense concentration on my part. It was so worth it though. I may have formed a headache afterwards but so worth it!

Of course, once we were done, we had to build other things with her other Legos. We made a “Phone”- my daughters’ version. Then I had to “make” my version of a phone that I had when I was a kid. Oh, yeah, a banana looking device with a cord attached or an antenna at the top for the cordless version. All my daughter had to say to me was that my phone wasn’t a phone. I had to Marco polo my mother just to prove that that my phone, was real!…….Once upon a time ago….

Tell me, do you build with your kids with their Legos? If so, tell me down below, what do you guys make? Also did you make something that your kid hasn’t seen before and how did you prove it?
