The First Idea

15 years of Lego Ideas has not only given us so many amazing builds, but has instilled the master builder mindset in each person that enjoys Lego. This model represents that first major idea that came from my kid. My 5-year old only built what was in each set of instructions. He never deviated, even with the classic sets I bought him. His first major "idea" was to use blocks that I kept from my childhood to build an animal habitat. He carefully placed what he could find to make his caves and trees. He was so excited, saying "I can't believe I builded this all by myself" over and over, a sense of pride in his new-found ability to dream big and build.

And that is what Lego and Lego Ideas has given. The chance to dream big and build.
