[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These kits are killing the creativity right out of our kids.

Have her design her own hotel with the pieces in whatever order she wants to use them.[/quote]
I disagree. My DS loves building kits with DH and me; it's a fun thing to do together, practicing following directions, attention to detail, sequencing, and describing the pieces you'd like your partner to give you.

After we build a set and show it off, DS "gets creative" with it, changing and adapting it however he would like. We have a big box of "creative" legos for that purpose, as well as building things from scratch. It doesn't have to be either-or. [/quote]

Can I ask how old your son is? Mine isn't there yet but I think he would LOVE this as he gets a bit bigger.[/quote]
He's 5.5. We started out with the creative box of random pieces about a year or so ago, and we've been adding to it as he gets sets. Right now, one of his favorites is a Star Wars troop transporter with random blue and pink bits, wings in crazy places, a few flowers, and minifigs with three heads on top of each other. [/quote]
