jenL Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 We are inundated with Legos, so although my son LOVES them, I cannot justify buying more. I'm looking for ideas that are unique, hands-on, or something that has been a big hit at your house (they don't have to be all of these things at once though). He's a typical boy if that helps. :001_smile: He also loves books if you have any great ideas for those. eta - he's turning 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OK Family Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 A small but fun idea. Make treasure soap using some of your sons lego pieces or Lego people. It is real easy. Get some clear glycerin soap chunks, I get mine at hobby lobby. Melt in micro. Pour melted soap half way into soap mold (also at craft store), let it sit for 1 minute then place Lego pieces, pour remaining melted soap over Lego pieces. Cool for about an hour then wrap in cellophane. I just finished making squinkie soap for my niece who has everything. Hope this helps.

nono Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 OK, in the book category, this one was a huge hit at Xmas: The Pop Up Book of Ships And, yes, Lego replicas have been made from some of them. :) My ds's birthday is in December, and he also got a big kick out of getting plush Angry Birds (they make the game sounds when squeezed). He and his sister act out Angry Birds scenes in the car with them. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I said no more Legos, but new minifigures would be fun, so I could grab a few of those, and put them in the soaps! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Angry Birds... the kids love them, but we've had a stuffed animal invasion in this house as well! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
