fiberaddictme, according to my children, anyway. :grin:
Herself is *totally* enthralled with the easel. She figured out that if we cut a piece of the box up, she could use her copy paper on it (Cynthia contributed some chip clips to the cause - they hold paper to the cardboard *perfectly*), and do...whatever it is she's currently doing on it. Huh....looks like markers and...paint?...and....pastels? I dunno - but she's creating a masterpiece over there on it (using her new Art Set - yesterday, it got a "Huh. It's nice. No Prismacolors, but it's...OK". Today? It's the 2nd hottest thing going. :grin:)
As for Himself.....I knew the Lego Mindstorm Droid Development Kit would be a hit...but I didn't calculate the *exact* hitness of it. I'm surprized we haven't gotten earthquake warnings here - the squeals were SO loud, and the Squeeing so intense that the windows rattled and the clouds dumped more wet stuff on us. :lol:
Seriously, I have 2 deliriously happy children right now, a masterpiece in progress, and....and half-finished droid rolling around on my floor. (He's just about figured out how to program the silly thing.)
I'd say Chanukah was a hit....:grin:

Date: 2007-12-12 03:23 pm (UTC)The Droid kit is cool, but I can tell it's an add-on. *HE* can't, which is good, and I think it's a cool introduction to the "Real" Mindstorms set.
I'm hoping the middle school out here does something with them, but I have my doubts (which is why I've been hunting them forEver). I don't think they have any LEGO clubs out here, either (no one has mentioned it to me yet, and you'd think they would....they keep telling me how smart/awesome/wonderful he is :sigh: Yes, he is smart, but don't rub it in - he's got enough problems interacting with kids his age without adding that to the mix)
Glad to get a positive review of the Mindstorms - *I* thought it was cool, but knowing someone with experience thinks it's cool.....that's great! :grin:
