Ah don't worry about bricks, you can do it virtually with a free programme from lego http://www.lego.com/eng/create/digitaldesigner/

I let my boys play with the Lego- acting as mediator during arguements over who is having the best bits!!

I help build K'Nex with my eldest - its good fun, especially to see it work at the end (Big Wheel & Dragster)

We are ALL big kids at heart !  :P

over the years my kids have gone through Lego, Knex, Maccano and many other bits and pieces, but my two girls love playing the big large bricks from Mothercare, they are a another version of Lego / Duplo
