Those multi-colored bricks have given our family hours upon hours of fun over the years. We have followed step-by-step instructions for elaborate builds and also had freestyle-fun building anything we could dream.

Recently, the Northeast Louisiana Children's Museum hosted the Fun with Frank LEGO Workshop and we can't wait until he comes back again. Mr. Frank threw the instructions out the window and began the workshop by reading a book about architecture. The book was about children designing a school that included very unique and wonderful features.
After the children listened to the story they designed a dream school with their assigned bricks. Some of the schools had swimming pools on the rooftops while others had helipads to land helicopters instead of the typical bus system. The kids really used their imagination and most importantly, Mr. Frank has each child share details with the group about their build and its special features which increases their confidence and communication skills.
We can't wait for another, Fun with Frank LEGO Workshop!
