LegoBro Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 My 7 yr old put most of this one together. Definitely works the imagination. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubblejumper Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I managed to get in on a sale for the Lego Technic Bucket Wheel Excavator. My 6 year old has been building the dump truck using this build guide: Bucket Wheel Excavator build guide. He has almost finished the dump truck by himself. I am wondering if I should hide the excavator bags until he is a bit older, or let him give it a whirl. Any advice from those with similar aged kids, or have been through it? I don't want to get him frusterated with the hobby as his Mom is worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 My 4 year old son decided to do the alternate build for the Reindeer poly. This is Santa's Reindeer Plane. He told me when he opened up the poly that he was going to build a plane instead of the standard Reindeer. This was all him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to get him frusterated with the hobby as his Mom is worried. Go ahead and give him to build. My 6 years old build the truck by himself and about 70% of the excavator, the rest his mom build it. But for sure, he will loss his patience once in a while, just give him some encourage and it should be fine. By the way, my son spend a little bit over a month to build the whole thing. P.S. He read the instruction better than my wife, he can point out her mistake. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazuli16 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 My five year old built it and the eight year old in me doesn't want to share it. I really like it. the build was ok. 17 stickers! We split up building the wheels. that was a little repetitive for him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stud-Flipper Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) OMG, so I was going through some old pictures and I found this gem from Christmas 2006. This is me, 8 year old Stud-Flipper with one of the first LEGO sets I ever got. It was early and I was very sleepy, and probably a little grumpy that I didn't get the batcave or joker copter.

Popular Post Kenxxx Posted December 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2016 Sorry... no pictures... my 3rd grade son did extremely well on some advanced placement tests at school... top of his class in math! So we had to reward him. Pulled out of storage my only copies of 79011 Dol Guldur Ambush and 79014 Dol Guldur Battle. He's been wanting these on-and-off for a long time (he didn't know I had them). I probably paid about $10 for the one, and $55 for the other, over two years ago. Probably can't make much profit on them anyway, but even if I could... the look on his face was worth so much more than money. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder424 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 My 10 year old spent 5 hours today putting this together today. Quite impressed with the detail. From the slideout bedroom to the toilet... pretty cool stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Phil B Posted January 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Daughter built this set today: 41307 Olivia's Inventor Lab. What a great little set! Looks so good in person ... and those robots have a ton of personality. Lid of the box is a printed tile, most other items are stickers. Here are the three robots. Fun to see the baby bottle used again, and the azure tools are pretty unique too: What I found really clever is that the two bigger robots use a lever piece to balance themselves when they are free-standing, but my daughter immediately figured out that those levers act as charging plugs when docked - see here: An amazing little set (RRP $9.99, I got mine for slightly over $5 from KMart).
