Lego WeDo

We had occasion to go over to our local library and try out the Lego WeDo system which is an intro to computer programming and robotics through building blocks. Pretty neat!

Architect Andrew

We've had a pretty relaxing winter after returning from Disneyworld. First grade is halfway over already! The cold weather keeps us inside alot, and I've been working on alot of projects with Andrew, given his budding interest in architecture (surprise!)


After our trip he became pretty infatuated with roller coasters, and designed one out of straws! It was our first hot glue experience...pretty gooey. Once he built it, he ran the ping pong balls down the track.

Here he is making an igloo out of mini marshmallows. Then decorating it with glitter glue. When his glue tubes ran low he came up with the idea of using a pair of pliers to push the rest out.

And without prompting, he drew some floor plans of our house. I started doing the same thing around age 8 or 9 I think (he's 7).
