LEGO Review

Who doesn't love LEGOs? Well my mother for one. Many were the times she was left nursing a hurting foot after stepping on one or eight of these suckers that had sunk down in to our 1980's plush carpeting. And yet, she somehow let all three of us kids play with our jar full of LEGO blocks for about nine years straight. I can only imagine this is because we loved our blocks so much she couldn't bear to take them away from us.

As a girl, I can say that I loved playing with my LEGOs just as much as my two brothers. While none of us grew up to be engineers, they definitely encouraged us to think in new ways. We never really got into the kits designed for building specific structures (planes, etc.). My personal recommendation would be one of the big, general buckets over the kits.

For younger children, these also come in larger sizes. Definitely recommended for the parent who doesn't want to be grasping their heel in pain every time they walk into a dark family room!
