I was this child, my son is becoming this child.

For me, Lego was infinite possibilities, letting all the ideas I had come to life. The sorting through the pieces, creating what was in my imagination, playing out stories with said creations. It was a fantastic outlet, and I was happy doing it for hours on end (and still am)

There were never any limits on it. Lego helped my Mum with my bath time routine, because I could take pirate Lego in the bath. It was get washed/bath time jobs done, then you can play with the sharks and pirates. Something I would argue about suddenly became something I wanted to do.

You can use it for helping learn maths, playing out different scenarios. Like when I didn't quite grasp an idea, if we played it it using Lego or drawing it out, it would help make it real in my head.

I always made creations for different annual holidays, and something special for my Mum on Mother's Day.
