One of the many benefits of playing with LEGO bricks is the sheer VOLUME of creativity that abounds.  

My children recently worked together to build a LEGO house.   They had a firepit, crib for the baby, toilet, and shower. The master suite was connected to the nursery.  Everything was carefully crafted.  

They were COLLABORATING, PLANNING, and LEARNING.    It was a moment where I just stood back and listened - thankful for those colorful little bricks and the ENDLESS hours of enjoyment and creativity they bring.
