Now that this lot is mixed in with our original, more basic, blocks it is really hard to find bits to just build castles and towers with.
The advantage of allowing small hands to rifle through a large unsorted pile of Lego is that their plastic minds don't have fixed ideas of what a funny shaped brick is supposed to be for, so it can be anything.
All this brick chat is reminding me of an annoyance.
Our next door neighbours offered us a load of free Lego as their grown up / teenage kids had left it behind. A bin bag full! Of course we readily agreed.
But, the vast bulk of it is star wars kit stuff that is just all weird shaped bricks and surfaces and antennae and whatnot.

I think I am going to have to have a massive sort out. The prospect is daunting.
