My son is five and loves LEGO and broadly anything construction

Lego is awesome for teaching kids to think in so many different, wonderful ways.

If you want to teach your kid how to cope with failure, disappointment, and minor lacerations, get him an Erector set.

Lol as a child raised in the fire of hell that was erector sets, I didn’t even know they still made those.

I’ll have to get some for my son for him to experience the same trauma I did.

I grew up with a bit safer erector set inspired set called Construx. All plastic with much softer corners/edges!

I’d have called that Meccano but had no idea about the alternative branding. TIL
