Geeklings discover Lego Dots

We love Lego. There, I said it.
The latest Lego novelty is Lego Dots. This 2D tile-based play concepts makes it possible to create all kinds of things. From wearables (bracelets) to room décor (photo cubes, a jewellery holder and pencil holder). The tiles are small, so I understand why Lego says it's for children who are six years or older. That being said.. I don't really believe in these restrictions, especially when an aldult is present to supervise and help out.

I ordered two bracelet sets for my girls (5 and 3 years old). A lot of the products were already sold out, but I found designs I hoped they'd like. A jungle/Tropical Birds theme for my youngest and Funky Animals theme for my oldest. When they arrived I was a bit disappointed by the packaging, I know the sets are quite cheap, but I just like cardboard better than plastic.

Making your bracelet is very easy, just put the tiles on the bracelet. The bracelet itself is sturdy but flexible and fits on any wrists and closes easily, and the tiles really don't fall off. Even for my youngest it was easy to make the bracelet, despite the size of the tiles. Making the bracelet will keep children busy for some time, especially the perfectionists like my eldest.

My girls and I love Lego Dots, but have one more criticism: Lego supplies more tiles than you need, even if you want to fill the whole bracelet. This is nice, and gives you the opportunity to change it if you like. But.. how to save these tiles from getting lost?? A resealable bag would be nice, but this is not included. I guess storage for Lego Dots will be available in time.. Check out all Lego Dots products here.
