Lego Set
Mikey still does a Lego set about once a month. He prefers the smaller sets so he can finish in one sitting. He is mostly independent with them at this point, but I still sit with him since a mistake can be frustrating if you don’t catch it right away.
As you can see, he still gets a lot of joy out of this activity, and we’ll keep doing it until he gets bored.
We also got a good deal of fun out of the slide on this firehouse set. Win-win!
