Christmas and New Year had me playing with my boys instead of online...well some of the time.Being a feasting sloth also featured highly.
We built Lego City Cargo Terminal, Rescue Helicopter and then racing the Legends of Chima. Lego building is a lovely way - for me - to bond and connect. (no pun intended with them and their interests)
My boys like to
I suggested to my boys we re-build all our Lego City collection and they cried no - because they have build their own vehicles,
 | |
| Joel's Base |
' BASES ' , buildings and display their mini figures collections- (Superman and Darth Varder are now friends too)
So this Christmas - It went like this -
Step 1: B
Step 2:
 |
| (this was after Christmas but illustrates the point) |
Step 3:
Step 4: Retreat to your corner - commence build !
 |
| Christmas Day. |
Step 5: Knock Lego on the Floor; under the table, under the lounge ; LEGO, start looking for the missing pieces ...find pieces from last week.
Step 6: Document the Completion. Play !
 |
| Joel made the Helicopter completely with no assistance. Only Superman can save the day ...he is from another set . The boys also independently made the H helicopter landing pad. |
Step 7: Children make modifications ...while I step on stray Lego and commence - hopping and cursing (at children).
Step 8: 2hrs later ... I accidentally vacuum up a stray LEGO piece.
Step 9: Encourage husband to dig through the vacuum cleaner bag searching for that piece (and others) while watching over his shoulder and holding a tissue to my nose , to make he doesn't miss a tiny piece .
Step 10 : Suggest listing Lego on eBay...we'll make a fortune.
Okay, I'm kidding - my boys and I enjoy hours of play with Lego and they play it together - everyday !
Their recent favourite collection has been

Chima is a tale of animal warrior tribes, who live in the magical land

The standout features are it's animal-centric ; and there are various accessories and their own unique Speedorz , which gives more scoop for imaginative play (with collectable playing cards) and physical play.
