Building for His Future
My son loves creating different objects with his legos and now his light up legos. These legos are pretty cool. You can build cars, spaceships and all kinds of other things too. I’m glad that my son still likes building stuff with his hands instead of playing on my iPad. 🙂 What is your child’s…
