No one probably cares but me, but my son called me up to his room to show this to me. Built it all on his own. He’s two-and-a-half.

My son couldn’t have built that at two-and-a-half. His building was and still is more about serendipitous outcomes or following instructions than about pursuing his own envisioned outcomes.
Looking good, Henry!
Iris loves her legos but is hopeless when it comes to actual design like this.
Henry is obsessed with trucks and pretending he’s a mechanic. We’ve had to step in and keep him from disassembling all of his toy cars. One of them has already become his “junker”.
Mark Delsing He’s not pretending – He’s a mechanic.
Seriously, set aside a deliberate pile for him to ‘creatively disassemble’ (they may wind up as junk, so what) and set aside another group for ‘maintenance’ (cleaning, polishing, ‘adjusting’). litle squeeze bottles for play oil cans, etc.
He’ll likely get to a point where the reassembly value of Legos will dawn on him as lacking in his junkers, and then he may want to explore making his own out of other stuff (wood, erector-set analogs). It’lkl be frustrating when he can’t rebuild his hot-wheels type stuff so it’ll be good to have an outlet into repairable stuff.
I’m now a mechanic. I had to make some of those jumps myself later in life but it was all the same.
jeff fearnow is doing something suspicious Those are FANTASTIC ideas. Thank you!
Mark Delsing my kid too, on the mechanic thing. He loves to make tow trucks and car transporters and flatbeds with his Duplos. Then he transports hotwheel cars all over the place.
Aaron Griffin Henry has started to do that, too!
