Within the next year I expect Monkey will be moving away from Duplo. He’ll be wanting to try out LEGO. He certainly loved our trip to Legoland Windsor earlier this year. I have to say I’m quite looking forward to this transition; being something of a LEGO fan myself. I’ve recently been made aware of some great ‘how to build LEGO figures’ videos that have been created by Master Model Builder Alex Bidolak at the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester. It’s somewhere I’d love to visit, and is a favourite with Jenny over at The Brick Castle, who visited again recently.
Alek will be making more ‘how to build LEGO figures’ videos throughout 2014, but with Christmas just around the corner I thought these first few would be a great idea to share with you. There is a turtle, ghost, cake and Blackpool Tower to try.

Let me know what you think – good luck with your LEGO building over Christmas 🙂
Bud is due to receive a few Lego sets for Christmas as his first taster, I’m so excited to set out on our Lego journey together.
Let me know how he gets on with it, I’ve deliberately avoided Lego this birthday/Xmas to get another year out of all of his Duplo!
We’ve got lego to open this xmas too, love building it can’t wait
I had great fun building my Lego Ferrari’s last night – back to my youth!
We have a huge selection of LEGO which Ethan loves! I’m sure Monkey will pick it up in no time! Have fun 🙂
I’m sure he will in time 🙂
I love lego not bother about my kids!
Think I’ll be after some for myself too
Miss M is getting real Lego for the first time this Xmas & Birthday so I’m hoping we’ll have lots of fun building over the next few months.
Good luck
Christmas isn’t Christmas without Lego for us, and I love the blackpool tower we might have to give it a try !
Looks good doesn’t it
how to build videos are a good idea! i will have to show mr z. no doubt monkey will be getting into the proper lego very soon – he will love it!! we have both. duplo is still good as they can do it without any help or assistance needed, they all still ask me to help them out a bit with the lego but then that is nice in another way as you can do it as a group thing all working together
I can’t wait to get cracking on some Lego sets
I’ve seen Alex in real life :p
Somewhat unsurprisingly there are quite a few Lego sets coming from Santa this year 😀
Enjoy! 🙂
I would expect nothing less from the Queen of Lego herself 🙂
I leave the lego building to Daddy, last year he felt a bit redundant as MOnkey started building alone, this year though Mouse joins the fold so he will have someone to help!
I think Daddy P and I will be fighting over helping Monkey!!
