I’m a huge fan of toys that inspire creativity. All three of my kids have a fairly strong love for Legos and all of them loved building different intricate train track layouts with the Thomas the Tank Engine tracks. As my boys get older, they are now 9 and 6, they build bigger and more impressive Lego creations but they find the plain old building block sets to be a bit boring and “babyish. I was really excited to discover the smaller sized WEDGiTs for children ages five and up. We were given the opportunity to try out the Mini WEDGits building blocks Dog Set. My four year old daughter was the first to explore with the set and had a lovely time making what she calls “Professor Poopy Pants”. Why yes, I’m so proud …. and I’m quite certain that the preschool teachers love our family…. but the process she went through to put this together was quite interesting. She clearly wanted to be sure she used all of the pieces and she had to play around a bit in order to build what she did. I was definitely impressed.
The boys loved these. They had fun building a variety of different things. It was interesting to see how they experimented with the different pieces…
