I am scared of Lego- and they are *everywhere* but I have a handy weapon, the vacuum which sucks up any misbehaving piece from which there is no return.

But I agree with you. We have bits missing, stray pieces across the house and we've just invested in a huge basket to contain the stuff. Our little drawer just wasn't holding it all in.

Im just glad that my little one is still playing with the relatively large duplo size stuff at the moment, but they can still inflict their own type of pain and get lost all over the house.

I...You should definitely not come to my house then! I recently took photos of all my son's kits so he can choose which one he wants to play with from pics on the ipad rather than try to store it all in our living room - well, turns out he has 30 sets! (birthday, christmas and a competition win...) We tend to put on kit out on a tray so the bits don't go everywhere. Also, we have a spares pot so every time you find a random bit (usually embedded into your foot) you can just pop it in the spares pot, which alleviates the problem of not being able to locate vital pieces. :) Hope my tips help you to find some jagged plastic love for the little stuff!<br />x Alice<br />#bestandworstAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-21547238787290827212016-03-09T20:53:43.837+00:002016-03-09T20:53:43.837+00:00Hahaha this is a stage we've not reached yet, ...Hahaha this is a stage we've not reached yet, but one that hubby can't wait for! He's got his old sets all ready too. I can see both sides, the annoyances and the fun.

He has mega bloks and wooden building blocks but no Lego yet (silently high fiving myself) - I'm dreading the day he gets Lego but Daddy is very excited! My biggest worry is that my youngest will eat tiny pieces! Thankfully he's starting to outgrow the 'putting everything in his mouth' stage and will hopefully be completely past this phase once Rory gets his first set of Lego :) Thanks for hosting #bestandworstBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962630155792037615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-21592294121694697462016-03-09T19:27:57.666+00:002016-03-09T19:27:57.666+00:00Luckily for us we are still only at at the megablo...Luckily for us we are still only at at the megabloks stage at the moment, but that stuff annoys me enough as it is so I am dreading the day we move on to fully fledged teeny tiny impossible to clear up lego! #BestandWorstAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920528860832053627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-39558653271271306302016-03-09T19:23:30.149+00:002016-03-09T19:23:30.149+00:00The pain.
