Painting with Legos

I can write about our love of Lego ad infinitum. At the moment it seems all encompassing which is great because as a parent I believe it’s a great educational toy.

We’ve had lots of fun with Lego. We make endless towers, houses, tunnels, bridges, and manage to use it alongside other toys such as cars and trains too. We’ve been trying to think outside the box and made Lego crayons, Lego biscuits and even painted using Legos.

We started off with some pots of paint and chose some different sized bricks and figures. Initially the toddler started off printing Lego shapes on a piece of paper and letting his Lego figures stomp over the page. It quickly descended into paint everywhere, including all over the toddler!
