Engineering Challenge

The question was simple: How high can you go? 

Pulling blocks out of a solid Jenga tower to add to the top

A staircase just because.








That high.

Magical Blocks

This is the last 24 hours at our place....

 We adopted these blocks into our family yesterday from their last family who had out grown them. These are International blocks- played with in South Africa and Perth by South Africans, Aussies and now Kiwis!  We got a super good deal for around 200 blocks- really really happy! 

Will started building a catapult with them in the five minutes we had at home after we dropped the blocks off and went to do the school/kindy run. Then he and Robert worked together to make a Theme park.

 Tama made the letter 'T'.

And then became a skip bin rubbish truck.

This morning  they worked on some more bits before they got dressed.


 And a dinosaur park after breakfast. They 'filmed' a narrated Dinosaur show after Kindy. With performances by the T-rex and Tricertops.

This afternoon it has become some sort of fantasy land which hides a number of precious Orbs which need to be hunted and found.

The only bad thing about these blocks is trying to get them to stop playing so they can eat or leave the house. :-)
