Max the Builder

Last night Max was in his room playing with his Lego Duplos. After a while he came to me and told me that he had built a rhinoceros so I told him to take Maddie in to see it. Much to my surprise she came out holding a rhinoceros made of Lego Duplos! I was shocked that Max could make something like that so I asked him how he did it. He said he looked at the box. So I went his his room and on the box that holds the Legos there are pictures. He had followed the picture exactly, all by himself! He had also made a boy that was on the picture and then he said he was going to try to make a boat that was on a picture on the another side of the box. Bret came home when Max was building the boat and snapped a couple pictures of the things Max made and the pictures on the box.



Max also likes to build other things. He loves to set up dominoes and then knock them down. Sometimes his designs get pretty elaborate. Here is a picture I took of one he did yesterday afternoon.


He also loves to build what he calls "sets" with his wooden train tracks. He gets pretty creative and has started using 2X4's to make hills for his tracks. Here is his latest "set".
