My Ds7 absolutely loves all things Lego! His favourite sets are the Jurassic world ones and he loves to mix and match the Lego dinosaurs to create his new hybrid dinosaurs!
But my favourite creation of his was his Lego bird feeder we hung in the garden when we had baby blue tits in our bird house, that he filled with bird seed for the blue tits ☺️

So far today

My DD has built her friends TV set.
My DS has built various designs out of duplo. He’s copied his robot money box into a duplo design. He’s built a huge tower and driven his cars under it.
My DH has built Star Wars Lego.
Eldest DS has been rebuilding various Star Wars Lego.

It bonds all of them.

Our 10 year old has been Lego obsessed since he was 4 and started taking apart and rebuilding his older stepbrother’s Lego. Since then he’s moved through the explorers and city ranges, Harry Potter and now, combined with his car obsession, the Lego Technic vehicles. He has saved up for and build the Bugatti Chiron (aged 8), the Lamborghini Sian (aged 9) and the Landrover Defender (aged just 10).

He has been designing and building cars out of Lego for a few years, each time learning from the previous one. The photos here are of an off-roader he’s built, which includes 6 seats (rear 2 can be folded down to create more boot space), spare wheels on the back doors, all doors and bonnet open, side exhausts, tv screens in the head rests, a front tow hitch and rear tow bar, and a replica engine bay. Despite the tears of devastation when it doesn’t go right, there’s not a single day when we don’t thank Lego for providing our son with such an amazing medium to bring his ideas and designs to fruition.

My DD10 is bonkers about Lego, I wake up every morning to the gentle sound of her snapping pieces together in her bedroom. She has made a model of my favourite cafe to cheer me up during lock down, a brick head of herself, the Eurostar terminal (!), sunglasses, various jointed robots, headphones and even a working padlock. Here is a small book case to show off some of her latest creations.

My DD likes building Lego sets to the instructions then demolishing then to make his own version instead.

Possibly he’s watched too much Jurassic Park, this is a hybrid of a velociraptor, trex, and something spikey I can’t remember 😄

My boys love Lego - both sets and creating 'inventions'. They can build for hours and their favourite game is playing with all their inventions.

my daughteer loves the lego friends and creating houses

My 9yr old has made an eco friendly ice cream & coffee van.

My DD made a dog kennel complete with food a grooming section water station and a bed she absolutely loves lego duplo, loves to get creative this was very much thought out by her down to how the dog's will be comfortable and warm at bed time 🙂. Would love to get her more lego sets as she grows she absolutely loves building her lego creations.

Mine enjoy making marble mazes. They get more elaborate each time with traps and see saws. Usually a Lego friends pet sat at the finishing point! It keeps them occupied for a while as they try to get them just right.

My son is 14, almost 15, and still Lego obsessed. He spends hours creating scenes. His attention to detail is phenomenal, if only it stretched to his school work too! He uses clear blocks to create height for his mini figures as they are shot at etc. it’s a gift to watch him so absorbed in his imagination and play.

DD5 Loves the Friends sets, she thinks the little animals and people are so cute and it’s great that these little touches are inspiring her to think creatively and improve her fine motor skills by playing with Lego. It’s a real ‘in’ for kids who prefer cute toys to building blocks etc.

The Lego is out regularly in our house as all the kids love it. It makes the perfect gift for them as there is so many nice sets out there and we can never have enough!
I think the most interesting thing I’ve seen my kids make is when my eldest dd age 12 said she wanted to play draughts but we didn’t have a draughts board. She and DD2 made one out of Lego and had loads of fun playing on there.

Ds is into the mario Lego at the moment, he loves building circuits for mario, often encompasses all his toys not just the Lego which I love. DD is still into Duplo, she likes building houses for Duplo Elsa.

My son loves Minecraft, and to help him with finger dexterity and coordination, he was bought a minecraft kit for his birthday - he was so thrilled with the results it has pride of place in his bedroom

My 6yo loves making shops and cafes and my 3yo likes making people to match all of our family members!

Everyone’s creations are fantastic!

My DS (14) is obsessed with LEGO. He is autistic and it’s his special interest. (Experience shared with a pp and also the fact that it helps him regulate). Other special interests come and go but LEGO is a constant.

We have a room especially for his LEGO, his “LEGO den”. It’s his safe place. We’re really proud of what he’s achieved, he loves to design and create his own skyscrapers. Some light up! We buy the bricks from the LEGO websites pick a brick. We actually reached a limit when he was building the twin towers. Hence the under construction!

He has a LEGO train that travels around his city.

My daughter loves integrating her Lego Friends sets with her Barbies and Dollies. She loves role play, and Lego is perfect for that! Our whole playroom is full of Lego.

Our DS loves lego.
Hes started with duplo then he had lego police, aeroplane and his favourite at the moment is ninjago.
He follows the instructions, finishes it, it last about 10mins once constructed, then he takes it to bits for his imagination to run wild.

He loves it.

My DD loves building houses of her own design for her mini figures. My DS likes to build any of the Star Wars sets.

DD has inherited her LEGO passion from her Dad.
They traditionally get a big set to do together over the Christmas hols.

She tends to follow the instruction booklets, but we saw an 'engineering with LEGO' exhibition while on holiday in the Lake District one year and that inspired her to build dream constructions that would fit in with her other passion - Marvel universe.

My 4,7 and 8 year old love to make food products and use it in their role play. One will pretend to be a supplier, one the buyer and the third will be a customer.

I think Lego is a timeless play item that has so many possibilities. My children love building farms and zoos as they have lots of different enclosures and spaces to design. It’s lovely to see them playing with Lego with me and their Dad just as I did with my parents.

we are a family that loves Lego, four children and husband afol.
my son is always taking his Lego trains apart making different models for different trains he has seen out train spotting with his grandad. He has made several “layout concepts” all from his imagination. He can build so much and the others take their ideas to him and he helps them build their dream, houses, police stations, cars bikes, even footballers and Disney characters you name it we’ve had is.
there is nothing than my younger son loves than organising his marvel and speed champions on his shelves.
there is something that we love about Lego that just bring people of all ages together and watching our childrens imaginations grow and come to life is truly amazing with Lego anything is truly possible.
