Post a CommentWhen they just reformated the pages, suddenly your aricle showed up. Thank you for the inclusion of my Lego Ipod article. I'm really happy to know that it inspired such creativity with your children! That makes me smile.
Good Article, you should add a link to this article on the end of the list! :)
Great round-up. I love Lego's as well. :-)
Nice article, I loved legos as a kid.
Great article..Lego's are really a great invention for kids!
I'd never done a search for lego articles before; it's neat to see all the ideas for articles people have come up with about legos! My husband loves them and can't wait for our boys to start liking them.
Great article :)
Had no idea AC had so many Lego articles. If you are a Lego fan, you might try to get to Legoland in Billund, Denmark one day (or its cousins in CA or Britain). I wrote a piece on AC on our visit there a few years back. My kids loved it.
Great compilation of articles. :)
