There have been all sorts of LEGO-vations recently. While kids can play with LEGO renewables and LEGO farm, adults can make 7 feet long dioramas, like ‘The Day After Tomorrow, depicted by LEGO’
or build a solar-powered levitated LEGO motor.
LEGO has now introduced a Public Transportation Station Kit. The young ones (and old!) can play with the mulit-platform kit and manage the passengers between four different modes of travel. LEGO’s new lines show the need for designing ways of including environmental education into toys. Any guesses as to what will be next? LEGO organic?
