Homemade Gift: Lego Book

We attend a lot of children's birthday parties

for various school friends,

neighborhood friends,

and family friends.

All of those kid parties start to 

add up, especially when 

you need a gift to bring for each child.

I prefer homemade gifts 

whenever possible.

I think they're more thoughtful,

heartfelt, appreciated, and creative.

But what do you do when you

are running out of time, ideas,

or you just aren't that crafty?

We came up with the "Lego Book"

as a solution for one of "E"s friends recently.

She noticed that he enjoys 

playing with Legos 

during indoor recess (so do we!)

We love collecting our Lego building ideas

in a three ring binder that I keep in our block center.

We made this little boy, his own book

out of a three ring binder

with a custom cover 

typed on our computer.

We printed out lego construction ideas/instructions

on card stock (to make the pages sturdy)

and slipped them in protective covers.  

We got the directions from the Family Fun

and Lego website and packed his 

book full of ideas!

Simple and fun.
