Every morning, as I walk through my kids’ playroom to get to my home office, I pass thousands of Lego. Some built into gleaming pre-determined sets from Lego Friends, Harry Potter, City and Technic. Others have been fashioned freehand into monsters, structures and vehicles sprung directly from the weird, creative minds of my kids.
Lego is a simple idea well executed: tiny plastic bricks that can literally build worlds that spans generations. From elementary age (if you’re old enough to know not to stick them in your mouth, you’re old enough to build with them) to old-as-the-hills, almost everyone can enjoy Lego.
My favorite birthday gift to give is the good old classic box that comes, charmingly, in a tub designed to look like a Lego brick. It contains hundreds of bricks in various shapes, sizes and colors, and appropriately lists the recommended ages of 4 to 99.
