Is it weird for an adult woman to play with Legos?

[TrickyBob]

If ML women can color, then you can Lego.

[april37]

Not weird at all. When my DD puts together her sets, I secretly wish I was the one putting them together. I love Legos!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I have Trevi Fountain and the Guggenheim in my office at school. Not weird. At least I hope not!

[bronxgirl]

not at all weird. Actually, it sounds like something I might be interested in.

[AHappierHour]

I think it can be relaxing. Not weird at all to me.

[CurlyQ284]

That's cool. I didn't know they had sets like that. Not weird. Everyone has hobbies and you're not one of those grown guys who is into My Little Pony. That's my hobby measuring stick. So you're good.

[jinkies]

in the course of searching for a cool set for our son's bday, my H found a Lego Technic set that he is buying for himself.

I vote not weird. If it's fun, it's fun.

Not weird, says the woman with a walk in closet filled with Lego boxes (some of them are H's, but I have a lot, too).

[dianecourt]

Nope! I bought my Dad a set to make the Sears Tower and have loved the architecture.lego.com/en-us/ ever since!

[livinitup]

Nope.

If you really need an adult reason, call it Alzheimer prevention. Doctors are always recommending puzzles and intriguing mind-engaging games to keep us sharp.

[ginandjucie24]

Not weird at all. I can not wait for my DS to get to the Lego stage.

I may look into the Lego kits for grown ups.

Nah. Do it if you enjoy it.

Reading this makes me want to do a Puzz 3D. I loved those things!

Ha, I was just going to say the same thing!

[firelight1210]

H's pickup line on our second date was "wanna come over and see my legos?" Lol. Not weird. I got really into them! I like following instructions. My favorite was the green grocer.

[isabel]

We have lots of women on this board who color. I don't see why this is any different. Sounds fun to me.

[Sloane]

You've now inspired me to look up Lego sets for adults, this is something I would love!

[Deleted]

I love playing Legos with my grandson. So relaxing!

[adhdfashion]

Nope, it's relaxing.

[noodleskooze]

I think it's relaxing and therapeutic. I say go for it!

[lilac05]

Not weird!

I haven't put them together in years, but when H & I were dating I did. He bought one of those $100 Star Wars sets. Then he decided to go to a movie while I stayed at his apartment (we were long distance). He was torn when he got home and I had finished the whole thing. Part of him knew I was "a keeper" and part of him was mad that I beat him to it.

I've got two boys and huge tubs of Legos from when my H was younger. Aside from the pain of stepping on those suckers, I can't wait until they're both big enough to enjoy them!

[Captain Serious]

I vote not weird. I was pretty disappointed when J no longer needed me to build Legos with him. I used to love it.

[regencygirl]

I bought the entire Harry Potter series for myself. Hogwarts took pride of place on my dining room table for 2 months after I assembled it. I did tell my then 7 year old "these are mommy's legos, don't touch." I let him help with some of the smaller sets, but Hogwarts was above his skill level so I did it at night when he was asleep.

[aprilsails]

Not weird. I think DH is rooting for team blue just so that he can play with Legos. I haven't pointed out to him yet how many Legos I possessed myself as a kid. I can't wait to get to that age.

[wildfloweragain]

Not weird! Good for brain and fine motor, relaxing.

[lostrn]

Personally I find them extremely frustrating. I don't think there's enough contrast in the colors in the instructions for me sometimes. But I have friends who every year have a grown-up Lego building party. So, not weird:)

[ECB]

I LOVE putting Lego's together. DS has SO MANY Legos (thanks grammie and granddad.... ) that we're on a moratorium from buying more. Makes me sad.

[dirtyred]

Not weird. I love to play with Tinker Toys.

[wambam]

I have a blue Lego Viper and a red Lego Ferrari on the shelves above my entertainment center. So if you're weird, I'm weird

[cuddlyevil]

The best part about having kids is getting to play with their toys, go to zoos/museums, and watch cartoons.

[Deleted]

Not weird. DS is into Lego now and I enjoy putting them together.
