Lego Hack

Instructions: In a few simple steps you will create a stool that your child can sit on that converts into a play area AND storage space for LEGOs. That is some serious multi-tasking for one cute little stool! To start, you cut the LEGO building plate down to size. It should match the inside portion of the lid of the stool. The plastic is pretty easy to saw through.  I started the “groove” and my tween did the manual cutting for me.   After you have it cut to fit the lid you will need some steel wool to rub along the cut edges to remove any of the plastic “bits” that are left over. You need to remove them so the base plate lays flat in the lid. Next, use the Liquid nails to attach the building plate to the lid stool. You can use cans of food to hold it tightly in place until the liquid nails dry.  You have to let the lid set undisturbed for 48 hours for the glue to cure.   If your kids are like mine, they will be pulling at the base plate a ton. Don’t be hasty. It pays to wait! lego stroage hack that you can make When you are done, toss your kids favorite LEGO kits inside the stool and let your child start playing! They can sit on it when not in use or climb on the stool to reach toys that are stored on higher shelves. We love that this is a small scale Lego table, that  allows for easy clean up, so the child can manage on his own. Do you have a favorite LEGO storage hack?
