I have conflicted opinions about building toys – Legos, Tinkertoys, K’nex, Magnetix, anything where you take little things and put them together to make big things.
I love watching the kids play with them and seeing their creativity, they can make some pretty cool things.
The problems I have: 1) Having little pieces that don’t always get picked up and hurt to step on, 2) Once something awesome is built, the proud child doesn’t want anyone else to play with it….Ever.
Yes, what you made is cool, but it’s still made of [insert name of small plastic toy here] and it’s meant to be played with. If you use all of the whatever it is and expect it to stay intact, then no one else has any to play with. Not very fair for anyone else. Somehow they don’t seem to mind.
After too many arguments about he/she broke my toy or took my pieces, our solution is to take a picture so it can be taken apart and shared again.
