The reason I got into history so much was through Airfix kits....not the kits themselves, the blurb on the back about what each weapon did, it's performance, where, etc. etc.
Lego is ace. They've done a brilliant job with marketing. It used to be a few bricks in my day but some of the models they do know are breath-taking. Plus there's the film, animation, comics, games etc.
My young fella loves Lego and the whole franchise. It's been great at teaching him to follow instructions, comprehension, spacious awareness and increased his dexterity. All areas we work on with his ASD.
Only problem is I'm not allowed to play with them once they are built! He gets shirty if a bit gets knocked off but I once suggested 'the kraggle' and got told off severely!
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.
