It's no secret the Chapter Forty household is a big fan of Lego. We all love the stuff. Sure it can be annoying when it's in the bed or underfoot, but I can forgive is uncomfortable corners as it's just so wonderfully creative, entertaining, imaginative and playful. I thought it couldn't get much better than that really, but then entered the Lego game Creationary. (With thanks to my 23 year old nephew)
You have a box of basic Lego pieces and a deck of cards picturing, vehicles, buildings, natural things and tools of some kind. The idea is that you have to make an item from the card and the other players have to guess what you have created. The cards vary in difficultly and the rules are adaptable, so one person can create or all the players can create at the same time.
It sounds simple enough, but with the box of basic pieces limiting your palette you have to get very creative.
B is really good at Creationary and he wanted to record some of our creations.
Owl
Windmill
Ruler
Seaplane
Microwave

So now you know what we have been up to lately. It kind of goes without saying that we highly recommend this game.

What a clever boy. Lego is great, truly timeless.
CF, kids are so brilliant at making great Lego creations.
I often sit down with Charlie and Joseph and play with their lego.
Believe me I am nowhere near their standard but Joseph always encourages me and tells me I have done a good job.....bless him!

Great post, but you didn't reveal the fact that our family have made it much harder by making all participants in the game do a puzzle at the same time out of the limited amount of pieces! If there are rules to the game we make them harder don't we!
It sounds brilliant - I am off to look it up right now.
And I just LOVE the owl.
