Last year we found some fun printables for Lego’s at Lego’s Family Time fun website! The thing I like is that they are step-by-step printable instructions! Teaching boys to follow printed directions is an art because most in the boy gender would rather use creativity to put things together {giggle}. Don't get me wrong, I am all for using creativity but there is something to be said for following directions.
I gave Ryan the duck and Jacob the leprechaun with the pot of gold. After much discussion the boys decided they like the store kits better than the printables. After probing further into the reason it laid on the foundation of laziness. They both do not like to rummage through the Lego's to find the pieces that are needed.
LOVE the duck! How cute! Thanks for the link! I didn't know about the Lego Family Time! Stopping in from Lego Creation Thursday.

Hi Amy!
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from Lego Creation Thursday where I'm also linked up under "A Slice of Smith Life".
We have printed out a few LEGO instructions from the link you provided and my kid's enjoyed them. Now they like to create without kits or instructions:) Love your kid's creations! So wonderful! Your blog template is so cute! Have a great weekend!
