World's Tallest Lego Tower

In honor of Lego's 50th anniversary, thousands of children were employed to beat the old record and build the world's tallest Lego tower ever! About 3,000 children assembled nearly 500,000 Lego pieces to build the tower. The tower was built in Vienna and beat the old record by 7 inches. The completed tower used guy wires to withstand the wind and stands nearly 96.7 feet tall.

Bloesem Kids


Bloesem Kids is a great blog for parents looking to find stylish toys, keepsakes, furniture and clothes for kids. Written by the same creator of Bloesem. It was featured as best of the blogs on the Martha Stewart show. I particularly like some of the art projects for parents to work on with their children. As shown in the photographs, the website has directions on how to make paper mache, puppets, a shadow box. Another great project is showing the children how to make their own mold and create an object out of plaster.
