WOW! I love imagination!

I have an autistic young man in class this year (actually 4 autistic kids). He is SO interested in ships! His favorite thing to do is work with Legos. He brought in a replica of the Titanic that he'd made.....it was AWESOME! I'll show him these pics!.......p :wink:

Someone must've put a lot of work into that. Fantastic!

When I was a kid, I loved to play with legos myself.

That is indeed awesome!! A work of art!!

When I was a kid Lego's didn't exist. We used Lincoln logs!!! Still got pretty elaborate with them, but nothing like that.
