Since nosotros are hosting LEGO WEEK this calendar week nosotros decided to catch our favorite LEGO bricks together with do our ain toy store filled amongst them! We used both LEGO together with LEGO DUPLO bricks for our creations together with my kids worked for over an lx minutes creating their store together with and hence playing inwards it.
Here's how nosotros ready our toy store filled amongst LEGO bricks...
To commencement off I ready a fiddling station for making coin together with cost tags. The station included scissors, strips of paper, together with markers. The kids had hence much fun making coin together with coming upwards amongst what to write on their cost tags. My 3-year-old missy only scribbled pictures on her tags spell my 6-year-old boy wrote huge numbers. Both had a lot of fun.
I was surprised how long the kids took to ready their store. They actually got into making tags together with sticking prices on things together with cutting out money. It was hence cool to lookout how they chatted almost what they were doing spell they worked.
After they got the papers ready, they sat downwards inwards our edifice surface area together with started creating amongst their LEGO bricks. My boy used the smaller LEGO bricks spell my missy only used the LEGO DUPLO bricks.
As the kids built each creation they took it over to our shelves together with flora the perfect location for it together with and hence labeled it amongst a price, using painter's tape.
Once all of the toys were ready on the shelves together with labeled it was fourth dimension to opened upwards the toy store!!!
We grabbed some shopping bags together with cash registers (we convey a princess register together with another 1 from Learning Resources) together with the kids began playing. I joined inwards too!
The kids took turns shopping together with running the register. I loved watching them function together. My 6-year-old used totally funny voices when he played store keeper together with had us all giggling.
We fifty-fifty allow my almost 2-year-old inwards on the fun. He liked pulling downwards all of the cost tags together with stealing the cash register. He also took a plow or ii every bit the store keeper together with gave people alter spell he sat at the register.
This activeness was such a fun together with uncomplicated agency for the kids to relish fourth dimension together. I had fun playing a fiddling flake together with only goofing some amongst them.
I loved that this activeness allow us...
- work on edifice together with creating amongst LEGO bricks
