Aslm all,
My boys love their building blocks, it doesn't have to be lego it can be any type of building blocks, as long as they can build. They will be busy for hours. Not always together but that is normal for boys. They often fight over blocks, or so I've been told.
Ebrahim and Uthmaan have this amazing imagination they able to build what they've dreamt about. We've had a Paw Patrol lookout tower to a bullet train. Creativity definitely runs in this family.
After hours of playing, it's time to pack the blocks away. "I didn't mess it", are the words that normally follow. After about 20 minutes of repeating myself ( I sometimes feel like I am a tape recorder on repeat). They will eventually pack away with me helping them.
Then comes those days that they refuse to pack it away. These are the days I bring out the big guns (my vacuum cleaner). I will start to vacuum the passage and slowly make my way to the play area. Without fail my boys will shout " CLEAN UP QUICKLY" they've realized that if the blocks are in my way, I will vacuum it up and it will be never seen again. 😆
It's one way of getting them to clean up without any hassle.
FYI - a quick Google and this is what I found regarding Lego vacuum cleaner.

But not long after are the blocks back on the mat and building starts all over again.
