If I were designing a product, it'd have ~200-300 pieces, have a booklet with lots of small ideas they could put together + some larger things to make (out of the pieces). And ideas to get them started building more.

For toys, we need to make sure that beside providing entertainment they are educational as well. Also, we need to stop spending a lot of money into toys as there are websites like Sprogs http://www.sprogsinc.co.uk/ that offer great kids products at affordable prices.

They have done LEGO league for the past three years. We get our bricks from thrift stores by the bin, and have a tip for you -- get mesh laundry bags with zippers and wash them in the clothes washer (be sure to load towels too to prevent too much banging). Because we usually get these bins, they love looking for cool pieces an inventing dioramas and objects.<br /><br /><br />My favorite items are the EV3 and the Death Star!<br /><br /><br />I wish LEGO would reintroduce the custom minifig online and let you order it directly! My kids used to love playing with that. Love the newer minifgs like the scientist and all.LSTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578525033396504580.post-70607767788771270252014-01-08T00:27:18.392-05:002014-01-08T00:27:18.392-05:00My favorite for him would be the Lego City Fire Co...My favorite for him would be the Lego City Fire Collection.
