I’ve made an effort for this year’s field trips to try a few things we’ve never done before. I’d heard about this Lego Lab from time to time, but had never actually had a chance to give it a whirl, as you needed a large group. This summer seemed like the perfect opportunity.
Although the kids were a bit young, I think they had a blast. There were tons of activities set up around the room, and a chance to build as a big a tower as you could before the timer rang, and then hope that it could withstand a blasting fan for five seconds.
Except for that part at the end where Shep had a complete meltdown about some multi-colored paper strips (don’t ask), everyone had a blast. After the lab, we drove to a local park and played and ate until Neko threw up. Since we haven’t seen an incident since, it was definitely too much spinning on a really spinney piece of playground equipment.
So other than the tantrum and the throwing up, I’d definitely put this one on the keeper list.
