My kids adore legos. Unfortunately, they have about a ten-minute attention span for them. So, sometimes it takes a week or so for them to finish a set. Occasionally, to keep the process moving, I’ll sneak snapping a piece together myself. But, this weekend, it was all me! The fam gave me the Women of Nasa Lego Set for Mother’s Day, and I put it together on Saturday. (As my oldest son notes, I waited a LONG time to put it together.)
First, it’s rad that there is a Women of Nasa Play Set. Second, talk about a Playfull Human, the idea for this set came from a fan of Legos, not a Lego Engineer. Sweet! I have to say, I had a great time doing on my own Lego Set. I’m a jigsaw puzzler by nature (that’s a whole other post), and this felt very similarly satisfying. In a world of chaos, putting a small project in order piece by piece can be very psychologically satisfying.
If this idea even remotely appeals to you, you are in luck. Lego has a lot of adult options! On Sunday, we were at a toy store (yep, an actual, physical, toy store), and I saw some great option in the Architecture series. My husband has put together the Eiffel Tower. This series isn’t cheap though. So, if you’re on a budget, you may want to stick with the Friends juice stand.
