It was a lot of fun for Tiger, but to call it educational would be a push. We basically spent a day at a theme park going on each ride multiple times. However, the day wasn't totally 'wasted' because I saw some benefits from being there with Tiger:
- Tiger enjoyed the day tremendously;
- I regained my role as his mother instead of being his teacher;
- I was reminded that Tiger is still just an 8-year-old boy, even though he may be intellectually capable of doing some tasks that are expected of older children.
What I find to be more useful though, is the story being the creation of Lego:

It's so important to just be their moms and not their teachers all the time, isn't it? But, that's not always an easy separation to make! I wish we lived closer to a LEGOLAND!

Legoland is on our travel wish list!
ReplyDeleteOOh, we went to Legoland Winsor just a few weeks ago. The mini models of the castles and other buildings were so amazing. It's such a fun place to go!
ReplyDeleteLegoland is always a blast! Even while he was playing and enjoying the rides I am sure he was still learning while making some great memories with his Mom! Thanks for linking up this week to my Enchanted Thursdays Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteWe were in LegoLand California a few weeks ago. It wasn't super educational, but a lot of fun for our 9 year old (and dad!). He did get a chance to work with some MindStorms a bit so it a bit more educational.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Lego video. My son loves everything Lego.
