<h2>Educational Baby Toys Are a Great Foundation For Adulthood</h2>
<p>According to early scholars, when a child is born, its mind is a tabula rasa, a clean slate. As the baby grows older, he or she accumulates learning and experiences. Even the most basic of experiences can have a great impact on your children&rsquo;s growth and development. What the baby commits to his or her mind can, in one way or another, determine what he would grow up to be. </p>
<p>This has been shown in John Watson&rsquo;s experiment with Little Albert. In the said experiment, the 9-month old Little Albert was conditioned to fear certain objects with the use of a loud noise. The conditioning was so intense that even without the loud noise, Little Albert feared the objects associated with the noise.</p>
<p>Learning and development in babies occur mostly in the same way. Newborn babies tend to create between what their five senses can perceive and the experiences that they have.</p>
<p>One of the ways by which we can stimulate the learning and development of a baby is with the use of toys. Although most people equate toys with entertainment, in reality toys provide babies with their first ever learning experience.</p>
<p>Baby toys can be classified into four groups &ndash; pretend toys, arts &amp; crafts toys, construction sets, and electronic toys.</p>
<p>Pretend toys are those that enhance a child&rsquo;s communication skills as well as imagination. It also allows them to learn the value of sharing. Examples of this type of toys are toy soldiers as well as stuff toys. Pretend toys are more suited for toddlers as well as older children. Some pretend toys usually come with small parts so care should be taken when allowing your child to play with them.</p>
<p>Arts &amp; Crafts toys, on the other hand, promote muscle coordination as well as creativity and imagination. It also helps develop a baby&rsquo;s color and shape recognition skill. Mobiles can be classifies as arts and crafts toys. </p>
<p>Construction sets are suited more for toddlers. These are toys that help develop a baby&rsquo;s concentration skills. In addition to that, construction toys give your kid a taste of the basics of physics and math. Building blocks are considered to be construction toys. Since playing with building blocks also make use of and movements, it is a great way for your baby to develop eye and hand coordination as well as fine hand movements.</p>
<p>As the name implies, electronic toys are those that involve the use of some form of technology. Most of these toys are suited for toddlers. They help develop a number of skills such as hand and eye coordination and fine muscle movement.</p>
<p>For newborn babies, toys should be the colorful ones filled with different shapes. It would help if these toys move around or are accompanied by music, anything that would catch your baby&rsquo;s attention. Keep in mind that newborn babies have a tendency to &ldquo;lock-in&rdquo; on objects that capture their fancy. Having been surrounded by a dark and cramped space for 9 months, their curiosity gets easily piqued by bright colors and movement.<br />

<p><b>Is K&#8217;nex the world&#8217;s most creative construction toy? What happened to Meccano?</b><br />
<i>
<p>
Opinions? It would be good to hear what people actually think about children&#8217;s creative abilities with modern K&#8217;nex, and older people&#8217;s experience with Meccano.</p>
<p>Information from Wikipedia is useful. I&#8217;d already read the stuff about the history of Meccano on Wikipedia. I&#8217;m looking to hear what peoples experiences and opinions are.
</p>
<p></i></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always been into Lego. But my twins were bought some k&#8217;nex last birthday (they were 4) and they were able to be much more creative with it. It was so easy to put together. They didn&#8217;t follow the instruction but were able to make things themselves. they had some junior meccano but it was as easy to use or as versatile. you could only make the model on the instructions. So there Christmas wish list has K&#8217;nex on. Even their two year old brother has  ago with it.  But when they are older they will be able to follow the instructions.</p>

<p><img style="margin-right:20px" src="http://www.hoppingent.com/wp-content/uploads/Construction Time Cards.jpg" alt="Construction Time Cards" border="0" align="left" /></p>
<p>It is important for Australians that are planning on working on construction sites to learn a few facts about what an Australian White Card really is. It is equally important to understand how such cards can be found online and also how they can be obtained in classrooms. But, before proceeding further with understanding more about these cards, it pays to understand a bit about their background.</p>
<p>Anyone that is planning to work on a construction site in Australia needs to be in possession of an Australian White Card (induction card). Failure to display such a card while working on a construction site in Australia is illegal and will make the concerned person liable to facing prosecution.</p>
<p>At one time, these cards were quite individual in their nature which meant that each Australian state had their own versions of the card. For example, in Queensland the card was called the Blue Card whereas the same card in Victoria was referred to as a Red Card. In Perth, these cards were known as Green Cards and in New South Wales, they were in fact known as a White Card. And, other states had their own names for these cards.</p>
<p>But, after the year 2009, things changed and became more standardized. Each state then standardized the names of these cards which were to be referred to as White. Officially, these cards could only be obtained after passing a course that is known as CPCCOHS1001A which referred to work safely in the <a href="http://www.hoppingent.com/construction-industry/">Construction Industry</a>. This course replaced all the other earlier courses including the 30215QLD Blue Card course that was part of Construction Industry General Safety Induction in the state of Queensland.</p>
<p>If you are planning on working at a construction site in Australia, then obtaining such a card is mandatory and in fact, these cards can be obtained in different ways. If you are just entering the construction industry then you will have to apply for the card for the absolute first time. Otherwise, the need to obtain such a card may also arise if your existing one has got lost. However, if you lose this card, it would be very difficult to get a replacement for it.</p>
<p>The need for a White Card can also arise in case your contractor or company requires that you have possession of the latest card which is necessary with many of the leading construction companies today.</p>
<p>The best way to obtain such a card is by sitting through or by facing training in a classroom. There are some companies in the state of Queensland that will offer to give you such training. Such an option is perfect for those people that need to get their card on the same day and who can devote time to attending classroom instructions.</p>
<p>You can also get the card by taking an online test and this option is ideal for those who are always pressed for time and who need a more efficient way of obtaining their White Card. As long as you meet minimum requirements, it will not be difficult to get your card online.</p>
<p><a target="_new" href="http://www.narbiltraining.edu.au/">Narbil Training</a> has a long association with workplace safety. They currently offer nationally accredited web based Australian Construction Induction <a target="_new" href="http://www.narbiltraining.edu.au/">White Card</a> safety training at a very cheap price. They are definitely worth a look for anyone wanting to work in the Australian construction industry.</p>
<p><b>What is the best way to document the progress of a construction site?</b><br />
<i>
<p>I would like to document the construction of a house from three points of view.  In my mind, the perfect solution would be a battery operated digital camera that is made to be left outdoors.  I would be able to mount it top a post or tree, then set a timer so that the camera would take a picture at a designated time each day in full color at a somewhat decent resolution.  I would then be able to pop out a media card or something to download the pics from time to time.  Does a camera like this exist?  I found something similar that was motion activated, but the images are black and white.  Please help!!!!
</p>
<p></i></p>
<p>Any digital camera with an externally controllable shutter (e.g. serial port), such as some of the Nikon Coolpix series, could be used if placed in a weatherproof box. See the links for a controller called the Time Machine, and an article on DIY time lapse photo setup.</p>
<p>Have a look ate the linked sites and/or do a search on Google (time+lapse+digital+photo)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Plan <a href="http://www.hoppingent.com/construction-vehicles">Construction Vehicles</a></strong></p>
<p><img style="margin-right:20px" src="http://www.hoppingent.com/wp-content/uploads/Plan Construction Vehicles.jpg" alt="Plan Construction Vehicles" border="0" align="left" /></p>
<p>Road construction workers face a number of hazards every day on the job. Combine heavy work with loud machinery, large earthmovers and construction vehicles, elevated work and falling hazards, passing motorists from active roadways, and a whole host of cutting, crushing, and tripping hazards, and you have a work site with a large number of potential accidents. Engineering practices, safe working procedures, and effective personal protective equipment programs address all of these hazards. However, one aspect of road construction job site safety and occupational health is often overlooked.</p>
<p>Industrial footwear is one of the most important pieces of PPE for productive workers. Besides protecting from a laundry list of hazards, the right footwear is essential for maintaining good posture and occupational health as well as preventing sprains and fatigue. In order to meet the needs of construction workers, steel toe boots are often the number one choice for industrial footwear. Let us take a look at why that is so.</p>
<p><strong>Support And Protection &#8211; Getting The Right Fit</strong></p>
<p>Like any other piece of personal protective equipment, steel toe boots have to be sized properly in order to provide the maximum benefit. For this reason, it is important for every worker to try on many different pairs and styles of industrial footwear to find the perfect fit. The boots should fit snuggly around the foot, have ample room for toes, and securely hug the ankles without restricting circulation. Be aware that steel toe boots made from leather will always be a little stiff, sacrificing some flexibility for more support. Hybrid material steel toe boots can be purchased that combine leather with nylon for a balanced amount of support and flexibility.</p>
<p><strong>How Steel Toe Boots Protect Workers</strong></p>
<p>These boots really offer a wide range of protective qualities that makes them one of the best types of industrial footwear. With water resistant coatings and some specialty soles, these boots can be effective PPE for many different job conditions.</p>
<p>First, the steel plating protects against a number of crushing and impact hazards as well as stubbed toes, ultimately preventing many foot and toe fractures. The durable leather material also goes a long way to stopping cuts and abrasions. High ankle styles will prevent sprains and twisted ankles while also offering posture support. Padded insoles can increase comfort and reduce fatigue. If using an insert, boots should be sized upwards about a half of a size in order to retain the same fit. Low ankle styles grant a great range of motion and flexibility for one&#8217;s feet. Deep treads and non-slip soles help to prevent slips, trips, and falls from uneven working surfaces, standing water, and outdoor environments.</p>
<p>Leather is a naturally water-resistant material, and with additional coatings, steel toe boots can be effective against standing water. Waterproof linings can be added to the inside of boots for an alternative method for repelling water. For deep pools of liquid, knee-high rubber boots can be worn over steel toe boots. These coatings can also be applied to offer protection against mild corrosive chemical spills. Leather can take quite a beating from chemicals before degrading; however, chemical action will render their water-proofing qualities ineffective.</p>
<p><strong>Choosing The Right Brand</strong></p>
<p>Industrial footwear is a type of personal protective equipment that should be custom fitted to each worker and be an investment in safety. They are not disposable items, but durable pieces of industrial apparel that have to emphasize quality over price. Accordingly, steel toe boots under $90 are not suitable for industrial work; the price ceiling on boots should be around $200. These prices offer the best combination of quality products with an affordable per-person price. If the price tag seems steep, remember that rugged footwear will have a long lifetime.</p>
<p>Name brands are the best bet when purchasing industrial footwear. Some of the top brands include Bates, Rocky, Nautilus, Georgia Boot, Wolverine, Timberland, and Danner. A large offering of different brands allows for a better fit for each worker.</p>
<p>Boot construction can also be a buying factor. The most expensive design, stitch down construction, can be resoled and repaired over time. Less expensive designs include cement construction and direct attach, where the two halves of the footwear are directly glued or molded together.</p>
<p>The right industrial footwear is a vital part of effective personal protective equipment. Workers are on their feet all day and rely on the support and protection of steel toe boots, even if their feet are not on their minds. Industrial footwear makes all the difference for the safety and health of everyone on the job.</p>

<p><b>Fight Texting While Driving Ticket Even Though I Was NOT Texting?</b><br />
<i>
<p>I received a ticket today for supposedly specifically Texting While Driving (California Vehicle Code: 23123.5), however, I was merely checking for directions due to a construction reroute. I didn&#8217;t want to &#8220;argue&#8221; with the cop so I just took the ticket but plan to fight it in court.<br />
Can I take my phone records and prove I was NOT texting at that particular time? Will it help my case? Thanks in advance.
</p>
<p></i></p>
<p>Surprisingly enough, you might just have a defense.  The code reads as follows:</p>

an electronic wireless communications device to write, send, or read<br />
a text-based communication.<br />

to as a text message, instant message, or electronic mail.<br />
   (c) For purposes of this section, a person shall not be deemed to<br />
be writing, reading, or sending a text-based communication if the<br />

or receiving a telephone call.<br />
   (d) A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a<br />

<h2>Cranium Fort: Creative Toys to Develop your Child</h2>
<p>Toys have played a crucial role in enhanced children&rsquo;s lives, and this has always been considered as vital to their development. Museums and libraries that display toys, the world over, have chronicled shifts in social thinking and the popularity of fads, from time to time. The toys that are currently available are very dissimilar from the ones that existed in the ancient past. However, the end they seek to serve has not changed: bringing joy to children, and aiding children in learning and developing hand-eye coordination. </p>
<p>Toys bring enchantment and adventure to the learning process, whether it&rsquo;s about life, or about how things function or about living harmoniously, in society. Selecting toys that encourage healthy play habits will encourage the growth of kids&#8217; social, cognitive, and physical attributes. Toys should be open-ended so as to boost creativity and imagination in kids. Usually these are the type of toys children return to, again and again. </p>
<p>Children are naturally inquisitive and interested about what&rsquo;s gong on around them. They are keen to learn and develop their thinking skills and logical sense. They imbibe by action, like to do things over and over, and love surprises, which they enjoy coming back to over and over again. </p>
<p>When you see kids at play, you are able to observe they are busy thinking, endeavoring to find things out, for themselves, getting to the root of  solutions to problems and being creative and spontaneous in their solutions. And when you provide enriching experiences that stimulate their senses and spark their curiosity, you help promote an interest in learning that lasts a lifetime.</p>
<p>Cranium are leading toy manufacturers who started business in 1998. Their construction toy, Cranium Fort, is enjoying great popularity with kids. Cranium Super Fort is a model that is claimed by the manufacturers to inspire kids to create cool spaces and secret places! What they can make with Super Fort, another model, is only limited by children&rsquo;s imagination. Creative and physical learning is imparted as kids play with Super Fort. </p>
<p>Kids are said to shine as they build fun structures and create new ones from scratch. Safe, easy to use, and fast to clean up and store with Magnaball magnetic connectors that make it easy for kids to do it themselves, Cranium Super Fort includes 16 Magnaball magnetic connectors, 16 flexible foam tubes, 6 rigid foam tubes, 6 bases, 2 </p>
<p>floor panels, 5 colorful wall panels, 20 clips, and 2 storage bags. </p>
<p>The quick-snap magnetic connectors and bendable foam construction tubes permit children to create anything they want from castles and secret hideouts to sailing boats and space ships and almost anything they can imagine! The toy includes 73 pieces all packed into a handy carry bag. The set includes an instruction booklet on how to create some structures, including a simple play house as well as a more complicated car and rocket ship.</p>
<p>Some of the Cranium Fort construction toys available in the market include Super Fort </p>
<p>Mega Fort, Carnival Clubhouse, and Mega Land. A starter set is available for $24.99. Cranium offer 30 days limited warranty for some of their toys.</p>
<p>When choosing toys for your child, always pay attention to the age recommendations. Look for toys that match your child&#8217;s interests and developmental level. The right toys at the right time will enrich your child&#8217;s play experience and provide the foundation for learning.</p>

<p><b>Futuristic (lego) construction toy theme?</b><br />
<i>
<p>Its a school project, it has to be something for children that is original but similar to HALO, Gears of War, Lost Planet. Any ideas are appreciated.
</p>
<p></i></p>
<p>I would go for Star Wars theme. Take a look at this Rocket building set&#8230;</p>

<h2>The Ever Popular Lego Train Toy Building Sets</h2>
<p>Bring up the word &ldquo;Lego&rdquo; to adults and they will start to think back to the childhood days spent at home building youthful masterpieces made out of plastic Lego building bricks. This is a proof that Lego has been a part of many peoples childhood years going back to the colorful plastic interlocking bricks were patented in 1958. From houses to vehicles, to shops and train sets, Lego has had them all in its ranks. Even the newer generations of children have developed a fascination with Legos. Although they cannot compete with Lego Star Wars on gaming systems such as Playstation 3 and Xbox, Lego toy trains remain to be in the list of &ldquo;toys to buy&rdquo; during holidays and special occasions. Of course, it has helped that Lego has partnered with companies that have allowed popular franchises to be given the Lego transformation. What&rsquo;s astonishing is that even with the emergence of new Lego sets, the classic Lego train sets remain a favorite. It might even be surprising that trains sets are particularly very popular to grownups that consider themselves train enthusiasts. Building trains out of Lego pieces has proved to be a fun pastime activity to alleviate stress, and of course, bring out the inner kid in every adult.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s quite amazing that Lego has endured the changing times highlighted by the onslaught of high tech toy products. Customer loyalty has played a big part in Lego&rsquo;s survival, but more than that, it&rsquo;s the continuous reinventing that has made Lego stand firm, even when faced with fierce competition. Take the case of <a href="http://toybuildingbricks.com/toy-building-sets/trains-sets">Lego train sets</a> and train station sets. The early models were introduced in the late 60&rsquo;s and ever since then, the trains have undertaken various makeovers to keep up with the times. This means that the newest models you see today are products that have had some inspiration from the older models of yesterday. Train enthusiasts will even go so far as to create their very own train models using Lego building bricks to build them. If you see Lego train models being displayed in exhibits or trade shows, don&rsquo;t expect to see them, as such, in the toy sections of your favorite toy store. Lego aficionados utilizing advanced Lego construction techniques most probably made them. Having said that, anyone can make his or her own train set from scratch. The important thing to remember is to start from the basics. People who were inspired by the classic models of station trains made the awe-inspiring Lego train sets you see on public display.</p>
<p>Lego may be selling pre-designed train sets but what hardly any people know is that through Lego Digital Designer and Lego Factory, they can design there own trains. It&rsquo;s a simple process that can have amazing results. The trick is to know the fundamental laws of Lego construction. Add a little creativity and inspiration and you&rsquo;re off. Of course, having plenty of patience and enthusiasm will go a long way. It takes a great deal of skill to build complex train sets, but with a lot of practice, you can find yourself getting very good at building even the most sophisticated train layout.</p>
<p>As an added bonus, and what&rsquo;s really cool, is that using Lego <a href="http://toybuildingbricks.com/">toy building sets</a> can be a great bonding activity between kids and their parents!</p>

<p>Does your child love to play Fix-It shop? Does he or she really love to saw or hammer with toy tools? And does he or she remain glued to the television screen when the show is on? There is absolutely no doubt that your child will love to have a Handy Manny themed party. Here are some party ideas that will help you get started.</p>
<p>One of the first things that you will have to figure out is where you would love to host the party. If you do not want to host the part at your home you can hold the party at a close by recreation center, park or community clubhouse.</p>
<p>What You would Need for the Party</p>
<p>Once you have chosen a location for the party, then you should start thinking of what you would need for the party. You will of course need the basic party supplies such as table ware, balloons and streamers. You can even get Handy Manny party supplies, which are available in many online stores at affordable rates.</p>
<p>For a Handy Manny themed party, you should consider buying or renting the following items:</p>
<p>Mylar Helium Balloons</p>
<p>Rubber or plastic toy tools</p>
<p>Plastic tool box just like Manny</p>
<p>Yellow coloured caution cones, construction hard hats and caution tape</p>
<p>Handy Manny DVDs</p>
<p>Invitations Ideas</p>
<p>You can decorate the invites using stickers and write the party details at the back of the cardboard stock.</p>
<p>You can make the invites look like a Help Wanted advertisement in the classified section of a newspaper if you are good with a word processing program, this project will be a real piece of cake.</p>
<p>Use creative wordings on the invitation cards you send out.</p>
<p>If you do not have time to create the invites yourself, you can get personalized or pre-made invitation cards instead.</p>
<p>Decorating Ideas</p>
<p>You can make your invited guests feel as though they are inside a work shop or at a work site with these creative ideas.</p>
<p>When decorating the party area with balloons, make sure you stick to the Handy Manny theme by using blue, green and red coloured balloons and also use the tableware and streamers of the same colours as well.</p>
<p>You can also create the sign board using cardboard, wood or poster board which reads Welcome to Handy Manny&#8217;s, if its broken, we fix it!</p>
<p>Give out name badges and hard hats to your guest as they arrive</p>
<p>For different activity areas you can make signs that read Work Area, Party Area, Canteen and so on.</p>
<p>Buy cheap plastic tools and paint faces on them to represent Manny&#8217;s tool friends</p>
<p>You can also hang plastic drop cloths from the roof of your house so that it looks as though your house is under construction.</p>
<p>Party Favors</p>
<p>Tool shaped candy</p>
<p>Rulers</p>
<p>Tape measures</p>
<p>Tool shaped crayons</p>
<p>Pencils</p>
<p>Keychain flash lights</p>
<p>Toy tools</p>
<p>Erasers</p>
<p>Stickers</p>
<p>There are lots of stores that offer Handy Manny favour sets that is, if you really want to save time.</p>
<p>Handy Manny is one of Thor&#8217;s favorite characters and has created a website based around a <a target="_new" href="http://handymannypartysupplies.com/">Handy Manny Party</a>. You will find everything you need to plan your party from decorations and games to <a target="_new" href="http://handymannypartysupplies.com/handy-manny-party-favors/">Handy Manny favors</a>.</p>

<i>
<p>He works in construction so he is never home on the weekdays but he sees me once on the weekend.He tells me he is into me but how can he be if he does not call me or talk to me until the weekend?When I ignore him at the party we are at(becuase personally I am fed up with his head games but I really like him)he takes me somewhere private and says&#8221;Why are you ignoring me?&#8221; I always respond by saying &#8220;Pat you never call me and expect me to be ok with the fact that I only see you once a week, if that.&#8221; Do you think this guy is into me or not? Do you think it is even worth trying to go after him?
</p>
<p></i></p>

<p>It is also easier to get it these days. You can have as much flexibility as you want. You no longer need to wait around on that day when you are free to visit your local mall to shop for it yourself. Never underestimate the power of the internet because now, there are lots of online options where you can find great items that you can give to your little kids. With that pretty much covered, here are some more good reasons why it&#8217;s great to consider buying such bedding:</p>
<p>1. An educational item &#8211; Of course you can definitely spark the curiosity of your little boys once they see those tools drawn and strewn across their boys construction bedding. They will either ask you or you can motivate them to research and read up on it. At least they will not simply sleep on it but they will also look forward to the fact that they can learn something from it. Who knows, you might even find that they like to have those silhouetted boys construction bedding so they can guess the stuff that are drawn on it.</p>
<p>2. Enhances creativity &#8211; This is all about building. It is all about forming something new so you can expect your kids to get inspired by that. Actually, it would be up to you to push them to create lots of good stuff out of the boys construction bedding that you will be giving them. It would be nice to have it that has plenty of drawings depicting a construction scene so that they boys can let their imagination run wild while looking at their bedding.</p>
<p>3. A bonding tool for you and your kids &#8211; Right from the very start, you can already use buying such bedding as a means to bond with your kids by letting them come with you as you buy this type of bedding. This way you can really have them decide the kind they want to have according to the design that seems to interest them the most. Through this process you can also teach them to make up their decisions and become independent. Also, when they already begin to ask the items and stuff drawn on the bedding of course you will be the one to primarily explain it to them. You can either be creative enough to explain it to them through some form of storytelling or try explaining those items on it as literally yet simply as possible.</p>

<p><b>What&#8217;s the kids book about three construction workers and an old lady with a rose garden?</b><br />
<i>
<p>The three workers had to put an interstate through the lady&#8217;s house and she showed them her roses &#8211; different colors, I think, and each color reminded the workers of their own grandmother&#8217;s roses&#8230; so they build the road around her house instead of knocking it down.  Anyone remember this book?  Early 1980s, though it could have been published before then&#8230;

<h2>Lego &#8211; the Worlds Favorite Toy for 70 Years</h2>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you buy I had Lego when I was a kid. And everyone else I know seems to have owned a set as well. And what&#8217;s more my kids have it. Yes, for over 70 years now, Lego has been one of the biggest selling toys in the world. I don&#8217;t know whether it&#8217;s the vibrant colors, or just the sheer versatility of the stuff, after all there&#8217;s not many toys that can be made into hundreds of other toys and never goes out of fashion. It&#8217;s fun, its educational and its even relatively cheap &#8211; you can buy a small set for only a few dollars &#8211; although the sky is the limit for some sets.</p>
<p>Lego was first produced in 1934 in Billund, Denmark by a former carpenter called Ole Kirk Kristiansen. He created his first prototypes and named them &#8220;leg godt&#8221; &#8211; which is Danish for &#8220;Play good&#8221;, or as we would say &#8220;play well&#8221;. This soon became Lego &#8211; and a legend was created. It was just after the Second World War in 1949 that the familiar plastic brick with four or eight studs, which allowed them to be joined together, first appeared. Initially, it was only made for sale in Denmark, but Kristiansen had bigger plans for his creation. Lego soon spread throughout the world and nowadays, its hard to find a country where you can&#8217;t buy it.<br />Lego has always reflected contemporary events with special editions frequently being released. The technology has also moved on considerably and the Techniks range is more like an engineering project than a simple plastic block. You can construct anything from cars to planes to Ferris wheels, al with lights and moving parts run by electric motors. A far cry from the simple building blocks indeed.</p>
<p>Of course, where Lego has recently exploded in popularity is via a series of very clever big-budget movie tie ins. You can now buy Indiana Jones Lego sets, Star Wars Lego and even Batman has made an appearance. Expect to see many more of these licensing deals in the future.</p>
<p>Finally, of course, Lego has been brought right up to date with the recent addition of video games for a wide range of consoles. You can get them for PC&#8217;s, Xbox, Playstations, PSP and Nintendo machines. These new additions ensure that Lego will be one of the best known toy brands for generations to come.</p>

<p><b>Have legos been used in the decoration/construction of any real buildings?</b><br />
<i>
<p>Not necessarily for the main structure of the building, but for smaller details?
</p>
<p></i></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if anyone has done that&#8230; But I like that way you think.</p>
<p>Just had to tell you that is one cool idea.</p>
