Building A Race Car with the Boy - Lego Creator - 31070 - Part 1

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I decided to have a little Saturday night constructive fun with my son.


After watching the Lego Movie this afternoon, he told me that he was a, "Master Builder", and that we should build something. Being that I am really just a big kid stuck in a man's body, I had no qualms with his suggestion. I went out to the store and picked out a set that looked cool; but that would also be a little challenging for him. He is seven-years-old, going on eight, so we no longer have to play with Duplo blocks. I brought home the, "Lego Creator Set 31070." It has 644 pieces, so I thought that would keep us busy for a while.

Here is a look into our night of fun and bonding.

Heres what we are attempting to build. It's a 3 in 1 kit, so we will have some replay value with this one. He wanted to build the main race car first because it has Lamborghini doors and that is his favorite car! I might have to get him into some up and coming ICO's if he wants a Lambo. Lol

His sister heard us pouring the Legos out on the table and wanted to "help." We made up a job for her as "piece hunter," but when she started losing more pieces than she was able to find, we had to distract her with a Disney movie. :)

Chassis is coming together. A solid foundation is the key to building something great!!

Wait... did we miss a step? Back to review the instructions.. he's deep in thought to see where we went wrong!

Bedtime strikes again!

Well this is all the farther we were able to get for the night. But there is always tomorrow!

I used to love Legos as a kid. I am glad that I able to experience them again with him. I proud of how well he was able to interpret the instructions and take what he saw in the diagram and apply it to building. It is a great learning tool and a great opportunity for bonding time. These moments are important. Even though I think we spent more time looking for pieces, then building. We had a great time.

Stay tuned to see the finished build, and more good times with the kids!
