The task was simple, we have to try to make as many different kind of hearts as we can out of Lego.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I came up with two different ideas, both the ideas were conventional in a way (well what can I say, I am not as creative as I once was).<\/p>\n

The first idea was the simplest one. Just take two 2×4 plates or two 2×4 blocks and stack them over like this and you will have a heart. You can further add other blocks or Lego accessories on this heart to make it look better.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the second Valentines Day Lego hearts, start with a 2×2 Lego brick. Stack on it a 2×4 brick and then a 2×6 and then a 2×8 to give the whole thing an inverted triangle kind of look. When you reach the top of your 2×8 brick, just stack in two 2×2 bricks in middle with some space between them, thus giving a heart kind of appearance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, the best ideas from the evening came of course from Little B who was as always thinking out of the box. She came up with the idea of a heart framed inside a picture frame.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also loved her idea of a heart-shaped tray with coffee mugs and cupcakes and other things to eat on top.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr B saw us, got inspired and unleashed his creativity making this one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We made quite a lot of Valentine\u2019s Day Lego hearts that day. Though we did this a little too early, I feel this can be a perfect activity to enjoy with your kids on 14^{th<\/sup> of February itself.<\/p>\n}

\nI have also realized that the best way to make the most out of your playdate with your kids is to play things that they really like and to focus on enjoying the time rather than focussing on what your kids are learning out of it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We still haven\u2019t planned my Valentine\u2019s Day yet. I am thinking going out with Little B but I am not sure if weather gods will be merciful on that day. Or may be I will have a cooking adventure with my girl. What do you suggest? Let me know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
