I have an odd request. It involves LEGO, or rather my lack of them.

Many likely know by now that I foster. If anyone has a bunch of LEGO blocks sitting around I have a child who would love them. She builds kits in a few minutes. I even purchased her the LEGO classics kit, and in one evening she built everything it had instructions/images for. She does not like taking them apart though. She likes to keep what she builds. It is one of the few things that relax her and that she can actually focus on.

I will offer funds if requested, but am looking for possible donations. LEGO are not cheap and she will build and use as many as I can give her and has. I am not asking people to go out and buy them. I am looking for unloved LEGO, in need of a child to build them.

As a reward for donating I will post the pictures of any build she does with them, if she is ok with it. She is 12 and very proud of her creations. I doubt sharing pictures will be an issue, but with the things she has been through I give her as much control over her life as I can. So it will be her choice.

If you have any please send me a pm.

God bless you for what you do.

I have a 10 year old boy in the same boat. He has built so many they are over flowing into other rooms because he has run out of wall, shelf and floor space.

This has just been going on for 1 month for me. We are in no immediate danger of over flowing. Maybe one day

We actually have totes with what he calls his spare parts. Every now and then a set will be missing a piece and you can about bet he has it. You may also want to look at general Jim’s and Temu. You can find some cool stuff cheap.

Just remember, its all fun and games until you step on one in the middle of the night.

what is also helpful are those cheap shoe storage to store the assembled stuff. Its a foot deep I think 3x3 feet, and is nothing but 6" holes that you would normally slide a pair of shoes into. Perfect for smaller lego models.

Dude, you've never stepped on a four (4) sided die in the middle of the night. That'll wake you up!
