Let's face it, Lego is definitely going to make this isolation period much easier for many households. All the BG kids love it and have a LOT of it. We buy sets, the kids build them, add to them, merge their creations and we end up with a mass of bricks in one huge tub. The kids then decide to build something else, but can't find all the bricks they need so it gets tipped over the carpet (and somehow in to every room), then something else comes along and it's like a Lego tornado has hit the house. If you feel the same and need to make your Lego more accessible, easier to contain and simple to create with, we've hunted down some brilliant DIY solutions.
Lego meets Lack. Who doesn't love an Ikea hack? This one from Centsational Style is fabulous. Cheap, cheerful Ikea Lack tables are guaranteed to put smiles on little faces. Those roads can be purchased direct from the Lego store.
If you're a little short on space, or the kids aren't too great at playing in their room, or perhaps you just want something more mobile, Craft Your Happiness has created this portable solution. You can get those folding tables for £16 on Amazon.
We have mid-sleepers here, but if we didn't, I'd be all over this idea. The under-the-bed Lego table I spotted via the Little Bits of Home is a great win. They create, and then stash away. Best thing about this is you can upcycle pretty much anything with some castors and a little creativity!
Granted, this one takes more work, but A Little of This, A Little of That, breaks it down for you. Basically a wooden table and lipped storage containers and you're off. They've used Ingo from good old Ikea (seriously, where would we be without them?), but you can upcycle any table so worth having a hunt on free sites, selling pages or car boots.
Another brilliant Ikea solution for Master Builders using Trofast. I have seen this a lot on Pinterest (follow us here), and it just so happens with a Trofast here, currently storing all manner of kid clutter, it could be the most ideal Lego solution. I shall be making eyes at the husband this weekend to see if we can do! This image is from The Crafty Juls who has pulled it off brilliantly.
This solution from The Handyman's Daughter combines Ikea hacks of Lack and Trofast to make an amazing creation station and storage area with the addition of wall-mounted mini drawers and a stacking tower.
