"Play Well/Good" - LEGOS

Image
By

Honestly, has there ever been a toy created greater than the LEGO? It is seriously one cool toy!

Did you know?????

Legos come from Denmark (Danmark).

The word lego comes from the two words leger and godt which mean play and good/well.

We literally have thousands of photos of lego creations. When I leave the camera in the toy room, it almost always ends up filled with photos of recent lego critters or buildings......

Children of all ages using their imaginations and building creations.



We are very fortunate in our household to have visited the original Legoland in Billund, Denmark.







We also visited Egeskov Castle and saw some of the original Lego Toys. Did you know that lego toys were originally made of wood, and the very first toys were milk trucks?




What kinds of lego creations have you been making?

Someday I will go to Legoland, and I will be very very happy.

Mainly houses and forts right now here.

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

By
Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...

"The Markers Don't Work!"

By
How may times have you heard, "Ms. (fill your name in here), this marker doesn't work!" I know I hear it all the time. Sometimes it is because our little friends forget to replace the caps, and sometimes the markers have just been "all used up!" What do you do with all those markers that just don't work? Please don't tell me that you throw them out, try this instead: First, sort your markers out. Put the caps in one container ( save those too, I'll show you what you can do with them in tomorrow's post) and the markers in another. I have a box for the markers that "don't work" for the children to place them into every time they run across one. You can also have the children help you test the markers periodically to sort out the ones that need to be removed from the "working set." When it comes time to use "the markers that don't work," we use a small sponge paint roller to roll water onto our card...
