LEGOS and Creativity

I was only two years old when I got my first LEGO. It was a fire engine. After that day, my life changed. I fell in love with these little pieces that stuck together to make buildings, trucks, helicopters, roads, and what ever I dreamed up. I used to have two big foldable table with a whole LEGO city. Under the table you would find plastic storage units with drawers that stored countless pieces. Playing LEGOs was the thing to do when I was young.

At around the age of ten I got LEGO Mindstorms. With these LEGOs I was able too build robots that I could program on the computer. In middle school I joined the LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Team. Here we built robots that had to do specific tasks and then took part in big competition with local schools.

I used to always play with my two younger brothers. They still play sometimes today. But no wheres as much as they used to. Today they have been corrupted by watching television, playing video games, and going on the internet. Nevertheless, all the original boxes are still saved in the attic, so that one day I can repackage them and pass them down to my kids.

LEGOs were awesome because they taught me to be creative and to imagine. Thank you LEGOS.

    You are very right. I am a young kid and Lego is a great toy! Some people say they are childish and to young for me…but no they are great and as you said help develop your imagination. Your also right about the computers corupting the time you spend playing Lego’s. I spend less time playing lego the before because of the internet.
