Heehee, doesn't sound very encouraging, Ralph!

The mess on the floor sounds familiar! My kids have only recently begun
collecting Lego and so they haven't created many models other than the main
model which comes with the instruction sheet for each set. Once they get
their sets built for each theme, they 'play' with them: role playing for the
characters and acting out adventures with the mini figs.

I think at least the older one is beginning to realize that it will be
easier to build even the main models from sorted Lego pieces. Perhaps HE can
help me sort them!

So far I am the one doing the sorting and it is a bit of a pain, but since
their collections are still relatively small it isn't too bad yet. If I come
across a method for my kids being able to sort without it being a pain for
me, I will be sure to let you know...
Thanks for the reply!

| My children ages 4, 6 and 8 recently began their LEGO collections, and I am beginning by collecting one particular theme for myself. At this time they are interested in the themes and not interchanging the pieces to build new creations. <snipped (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.storage)
