My brothers received Legos every birthday and Christmas...I think they eventually amassed a trunk full of them. I enjoyed playing with them too, but since it was considered to be a "boy's toy" in those days, I didn't get to play with them as much as I wanted to. My middle brother has them now, I have a feeling they'll be passed down through the family for generations to come!
We started buying Lego for our granddaughter when she turned 3, and also bought a 500-piece set to keep at our house. It's one of our favourite things to do together. She used to get frustrated because we always ran out of time to finish any projects, so I bought a special tray, and now we keep the "works in progress" on the tray in the spare room for subsequent visits. We usually end up dismantling pieces and redesigning the project according to any new and improved creative ideas, but at least we already have a good foundation to build on...

Dotsie..was the little Lego Dance so that you wouldn´t swear when you stepped on a piece of Lego? I am sorry to say that we swore when we stepped on some Lego..boy, did that hurt!!!
Lego is still a very popular activity among kids..we have both the larger and the smaller Lego pieces at our preschool..and they are found in EVERY preschool in Sweden..I am sure!
I don´t think it was around when I was a kid..way back then..in the 50´s, I guess..

check out this ABC News video... http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4722279the artist was on Good Morning America a day or two ago... and the sculptures were better seen that way, but this will give you an idea ... I love the blue man (about midway through the video)... I hated stepping on the tiny ones, which my grandchildren left laying around...

Do they have Lego parks in the US? they have them here. I haven't been to one yet, but it's supposed to be a fun day...everything you can imagine is made out of Lego...except the hotdogs.
Yes, there is one in San Deigo. We went when my boys were about 8 and 4. It was great for them!
And yes, I've seen creations like the ones on TV. It's amazing. I always tend to make little box houses with windows, doors, and flat roofs... I just don't know how they do that!

There is a huge Legopark in Copenhagen. there is a website and it truly sounds like an inspiring place for creating stuff.
