Do you play with your kids Legos? Do you build as a family?

I love building thihngs with them, the more complicated the better. Recently we tackled the Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer and it was a great experience for the whole family. We all had to work together and I was impressed by how patient we all were and helpful when the instructions got confusing or one of us was making a mistake or getting frustrated.

LMAO.... to be perfectly honest with you I hate the bloody things. I tried with my older 2 sons to get them involved with leggos or erector sets, but they would play with them a time or two and I would help them try and build things( trust me I am not artsy or craftsy by any means), then they would get bored and the leggos would then get used for projectile objects. They would get lost in furniture under beds, down vents, toilets or hopelessly lost. Oh the worst would be stepping on one in the dark on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I would spend hours searching for them to put the set back together in its box hoping I could reintroduce them to my kids. Finally they got thrown away.... And with my last Son, Santa never brought him a set, nor did his birthday hand him one.

No i don't play with my kids because i don't have any... But I sometimes get myself a paket as a treat when I have a fair amount because those legos cost around 100$-500$ each! But you have to admit they are kinda cool!

I play with them with my kids.But I think the coolest thing I ever saw one time was I met this family that actually had so many Legos that they had a Lego room in their basement & the whole family was hooked on playing with the Legos...they made all sorts of things together. :)
