TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Bean, 4, and Alice Altschuler, 2, enjoy Summit County Library’s monthly Lego Club after a day on the slopes. Youth Services Librarian Kirsten Nilsson donated her family’s Legos as did friends and the public. Continued From C-1 Lego Club meets monthly “I like the way the Legos fit together and we just kind of experiment,” Clark said. “When we play with them for a long time, they kind of actually come alive.” “I like how you can create almost anything,” Cannon said. Sarah Altschuler -- the mother of Bean, 4, and Alice, 2 -said her children are attracted to Legos and Duplos because the kids can do whatever they want. “The kids can be creative,” she said. “They can build as simple or complex as they want. And that lets them have control over what they are playing with, rather than being structured.” Her son Bean recently became interested in what she calls “big-guy” Legos. What’s also fun is the parents are on the floor as well, especially with the younger kids...” Kirsten Nilsson Kimball Junction Branch youth services librarian “He has gotten more complex in what he likes to build,” she said. Lidia Yuknavich Half.pdf 1 2/13/2017 8:16:10 AM One of Bean’s favorite items to create is an ice cream truck. “He builds one at least once a week and talks about the kind of ice cream it sells,” Altschuler said. “The real ice cream truck never comes to our house, so I don’t know where he learned it from -- maybe from a book.” Nilsson is happy how the Lego Club has developed. She also said she has some plans for its future. “I thought about doing this for a while and we toyed with the idea of doing this every week,” she said. “We think we may do that this summer, and it will fit with our summer reading theme that is ‘Build a Better World.’” A free open Lego Club session will be from 3:30-5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 7, at the Summit County Library Kimball Junction Branch, 1885 W. Ute Blvd. For information, visit www.thesummitcountylibrary. org.
