(...) Nifty! You might want to consider adding how initially, minifigs were used as children for maxi-figs. And it's not terribly important to evolution, but how the little stripes are drawn onto the neck-peg for proper face rotation. Hm. Also COULD (...)

Liz, I don't envy you. It'll be hard to keep the attention of such a diverse age group. From my experience, the 2nd and 3rd graders will be the easy ones. The 4th and 5th graders, well, I don't envy you. I am always impressed when I go to my (...) (21 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.edu)
