What to do with a pile of lego...

It is currently school holidays, so I have a wee bit of time to blog.  Term time is just impossible at the moment, as I am working full-time at school, and after school activities keep us busy four days out of five!!

The kids have a pile of lego that does not belong to any particular set.  Last holidays we went through all the lego and separated it out into boxes - Star Wars, pirates, explorers, City, Atlantis, and general.

This is the general...
And this is what the kids did with it last week...
It is a very tall space rocket with all sorts of rooms - a vehicle bay, engine room, dog house, kitchen, laundry, jail cell, sight-seeing room etc.  Surrounding it we have the launch pad, a moon base, various vehicles, bots, and a bad bots base.

Then an asteroid slammed into earth, blew the launch pad crashing into the moon base, taking out the rocket on the way.  And the pile returned to the way it started.

Now they are working on the Ministry of Magic - guess who's been watching Harry Potter again?

  1. Will has been building Hogwarts from Duplo - coincidence!! And I think Blondie looks scarily like a Martin when he was wee.
