Just thought I'd share this link for all of the Lego fans out there. http://www.ericharshbarger.org/lego/index.html

His portfolio I found to be really interesting.


I actually found this while I was searching to find out what the best glue for Legos is. It appears most people are saying Superglue. I am going to try it. We have some of the big Lego sets and the kids want to play with it not just sit it on a shelf; however, everytime the kids play with it there are a few pieces that come apart everytime! So I figured I would just glue those problem pieces together and bam we have a perfectly good working toy that they love.

Lego Fans---Storage solutions

Kids love Legos, Parents love Legos, or at least I know I do. They are great to play with, but they are not great: all over the floor, in the vacuum cleaner or when you step on them. So we came up with a solution to this love we have. A few months back I donated a few of my clear plastic drawers from my scrapbook area to Tyler for his Legos. Then we added a pop-up Costco table.

• Clear drawers the kids can see what is in each one



• They separate each character or set



• The 12x12 size drawers are perfect for the how-to books
  


• The table is perfect for building space



• The top of the drawer sets are great to display there work

This is perfect. Really it is. We have had this for a few months without any problems. We also have the K'Nex in these. I use these containers for everything. Yes, I know that this is not the most attractive thing but boy are they functional.

The amount of time the kids have spent playing with Legos makes them almost priceless!
