QUOTE: Originally posted by Bikerdad Lego is the way to go. It allows them to build anything they want, cra***hings so they go "boom" without actually being damaged, reconfigure the layout on a whim, etc. If you want to raise engineers, architects, builders, etc, get Legos early, and get Legos often. The only downside is that the Lego rail system takes up a fair bit more space, but hey, anytime you can combine pirates, ninjas, explorers, astronauts, and trains, you've got a winner. and no, I don't own Lego stock.
