The kids love to build and they love to look at what others have made so I always build time in to sharing creations. I also take pictures of everyone’s creations each time and send the parents a link to a Google Photo Album I create for each session. The kids like being able to show parents what they have done but I can’t let them keep everything they build until the end or I’d never get everything taken apart.
This can be adapted for an after school Lego Club. I usually charge $4 for a 45 – minute session – based on our aftercare charges.
