Isaac, The Builder
His favorite thing to do is build or create. He has three sizes of Legos and many other kinds of building sets. Recently he has been interested in ‘building’ is art projects. He doesn’t care much for coloring or other traditional art project staples, he is much more interested in creating something out of the paper or other materials.
When he goes outside to play, it doesn’t take long before I find him trying to “build†with outdoor toys and yard tools. Below you can see him beginning one of his creative sessions. He used the rake to attach and then pull his bike/step ladder creation.
He will build with anything and has at times annoyed his parents with things like furniture creations. His favorite books at the library are “mechanical books†and he enjoys studying maps and pictures that show the inside of electronics. His building toys include:
- Quatro Legos
- Duplo Legos
- “Big Boy†Legos
- Klikko
- BYGGA construction set
- Rokenbok set
- Train tracks
- Lincoln Logs
- Airblox
- Alphabet blocks
- Hot Wheels Tracks
He has also enjoyed using Bristle Blocks which we borrowed from PERC when we lived in Utah and we’ve already purchased a Georello Tollbox for his next birthday.
