Kathir’s Lego Creations

One of the activities from Mr Maker!

These are some of Kathir’s lego creations in 2010 and 2011. Kathir loves spending tonnes of time with his lego blocks on his bunk bed! If we are out for sometime, he has to get back to his legos the moment we are back. No morning is complete without 30 mins spent with his lego.

I had started this post in 2011 and never got back to it. This is 2014, Kathir is now happily 6 and half! He is growing up really fast. Lots of things are the same and lots of things are changing. His fascination for Lego continues - he has now moved to more complex imaginary creations. Like a flying car or a submarine that can fly, run and swim etc... He has got into detailing his vehicle - some indicator somewhere, a fueling point, a signaling switch, or an fire alarm...things that we think mundane are novelties for the young mind.

He has an added task now. To teach his little sister Keya how to build Lego cars. All that the little sis now knows is to make a ‟dhishu"a small L-shaped structure like a gun. Other than that her primary interest is to fiddle with Kathir’s creations, and get alarming shouts from Kathir about ‟no touching".

Kathir has a friend now who is very keen to partner with him in his Lego creations. That is Parth, our front door neighbor. Parth too is pretty good with his Lego work now. And both of them can spend hours building their imaginary flying-submarines or under-water cars etc.
