Phil B Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 21305 The Maze with my son - we had a little bit of father & son time today as my wife and my daughter are staying overnight at a dance competition. A little, because most of it was driving back from said dance competition, then quickly eating something so he could sit in the back of my classes for 3+ hours while I ran them. Did manage to build The Maze in roughly 1hr - we raced through it (he's almost 10 and competitive in his building ). First tries this evening have proven that it is challenging and totally sucks you in. We won't have much more time before the ladies arrive tomorrow late afternoon - I teach another class Saturdays (Minecraft, so he gets to participate) so not much Maze time between sleeping in, preparing for class, driving to class and teaching. This set is going to be a hit. Lots of cool bricks and plates (1x14 tan bricks, anyone?) - but likely LEGO produced a gazillion of them so we'll see them in stores for the next 5 years. Cue @exciter1 and his boat full of LEGO boxes pic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kevink24 Posted April 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2016 Built the Speed Champions Camaro (75874) set with my 5 year old (who mainly played with the minifigures). Modified it a bit to get it to fit inside an Ikea Synas LED light box ( http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60241544/ ) that we just purchased. We will probably end up using it as a night light for his room as it does not shed too much light, with plans to swap out different sets as we purchase/build them. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Salimr Posted April 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2016 I let my nephew build one of the morrow dragon ninjago sets I got for $35 a few weeks ago. It kept him busy for hours while the rest of us packed (we're moving somewhere warm) ☀️ It was so worth it for him to not keep asking me for something to do and make a mess 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midbenne Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Built this with my boy a week ago...pretty happy with the end result. Edited April 11, 2016 by midbenne 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robertx Posted April 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2016 After scoring some clearance sets I built the arctic helicrane and my 7 year old built 60093 Deep Sea Helicopter. A good evening of bonding over Legos. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfishe2 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I can't claim credit for this, but my 6 year old built this while I was at work this morning. Its the attack on the Second death star with an x wing flying into the superstructure with the Millennium Falcon and some star destroyers, tie fighters, a tie bomber, a tie defender, and a random z95 helping out. I was impressed! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I am fairly certain a member mentioned an idea for a "What did your child build today?" sort of topic way back. A lot of us here are a parent and this reminded me. Does anyone else think it is a good idea and worth a shot? It would be a great way to show off your little ones' creativity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I like the idea. My question, tho, is are you thinking of MOCs only or anything that a kid builds? My 4 year is outstanding at building but he's a direction follower (like me). We can't get creative with MOCs but we are constantly building official sets. Official sets, to me, can stay in the "What did you build today?" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything goes is what I am thinking. Official sets would still be fine in the original build topic but they could also go in the kids one as well. It could also be a great place to hear shared experiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfishe2 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Official sets can still be done well or not well. Bricks not fully engaged, wrong pieces, etc. Still cool to see when a little one can follow directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Alrighty then, I pushed it through and we now have a build topic for the proud parents and their creative kids. Official set or unofficial design, supervised project or shared experience, whatever goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robertx Posted April 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2016 So my 7 year old built the millennium falcon over the weekend. He didn't think it had enough weapons or protection so he "upgraded" it so it has more firepower and a certain Jedi and some others protecting it. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alpinemaps Posted April 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2016 Over the last week my son and I worked on Benny's Spaceship together. Fun build! Big and bulky. The kids are fighting over who can have it hanging up in their room. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Some more building by the kids. My kids have been playing the DC Mighty Micros app so we went and grabbed all the DC ones yesterday. My daughter built Batman, Catwoman and Captain Cold (my favorite). My son built Flash, Robin and Bane. My son also decided to open up an Iron Patriot. Oops. Oh well! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenner Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi all, Yesday we (my 5 year old daughter and myself) finished Arendelle set 41068. Her first Lego build using instructions. I really liked to watch her building it, sometimes with my guidance. Hopefully this is the start to build many sets together...pure quality time! (hate the stickers by the way ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved building this, got a real kick out of the blocks with the space logo and the whole monitor screen wedges, real blast from the past.
