Zorphbert and Fred

oh, my parents still like to remind me of some corkboard kitchen set thing they had to assemble when I was like 4. I’m pretty good at assembling stuff, but doing it Xmas Eve night… eesh. You’re a smart granddad ;0)

I’m a HUGE Logo fan. However, I’d almost never actually create the model on the box. Follow instructions? bah. I’d toss ‘em and make my own castle. It’d be mutli-colored jumbled concoction full of trapdoors and secret passages. I’d dream of living inside.

I do recall making my own race car from the instructions… had a real steering wheel that would turn the wheels and everything.

a little imagination goes a long way! Maybe encourage your kids to try blueprinting their OWN castles and build them from scratch. Yknow, once in a while. Following instructions is a good skill as well.
