That's why Lego is popular - basically indestructible.

My kids have broken Lego blocks.

Don't ask me how. I don't know either. When everything is a hammer, everything is smashed to bits.

My 2.5 year old has seen me cutting and shaping bits of wood and metal to make stuff, and occasionally brings me Lego bits and says "Dada cut this!" because he wants a funny-shaped block for something.

He's learned an important lesson. Things in the world can be constructed, things in the world can be destroyed, and all of it - including the world itself - can be *modified*...

That's awesome :)

When I was a kid I'd paint my bricks the right color if I didn't have enough of the ones I needed or if Lego had decided that bricks in a certain color shouldn't exist. Like green. Which they eventually made of course but when I was a kid those didn't exist at all.

At 2.5 years old that's a great attitude to have, that's one that'll go places :)

Thanks for this comment, it really made my day!

My child can manage to break legos. Yet, when I, an adult man, steps on one in the middle of the night it is somehow I who “breaks.” Very odd how these things happen.

they have a much more sinister plan, millions of tiny little weapons against your feet.
