Fun with Legos

I love watching my 10 year old daughter play with Legos. She rarely makes what the kit says to. Or sometimes she will make what it says to once, but then she deconstructs it to build whatever she comes up with in her imagination. When she was 4 she build a space ship (complete with computer) out of some spare Legos my husband had. She has only branched out from there. My favorite is when she makes things that have a whole story to go with them. One time she built an airplane with people and one of them had the "scared face" on. I believe is was Ariel from The Little Mermaid. She told me she has that face because the ship was losing power and they had to jump. She has one shelf on her set of cub us that is dedicated to things she has built that she has not deconstructed to reuse parts.
