Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Want to learn simple Chinese numbers using LEGO? Then read on and see how we incorporate LEGO into our daily life! Many of my readers will know that I love to use crafts to teach my children or our Lichfield Mandarin Club’s children in Chinese language. For example, we used ang pow (red packets) to make a Chinese character sheep, used old ang pow to write Chinese character Monkey, practised writing Chinese New Year words on balloons, 3D paper cutting Spring character and many more.
This summer until 31st August 2015, Birmingham’s National Sea Life Centre will feature a LEGO® City Deep Sea Experience where little visitors can take part to explore the secrets of the ocean and to become an official LEGO Explorer.
Long before the Lego Movie was released at the cinema, my children had gotten wind of it and kept asking me when I could take them to the cinema to watch it! So as soon as it was released, I took them both to watch on opening weekend to stop their whining. Unsurprisingly, they both loved it and wanted to watch it again!

Lego is one of my childhood favourite toys and it is also my 6 year old son’s too. Building Lego can be so much fun and we could easily spend the whole afternoon building houses, trees and much more. It helps you be creative and imaginative and there’s a great sense of achievement! I have received this Lego High Speed Police Chase 60042 to review.
We were so lucky to win tickets to join all the MAD finalists at Legoland on June 16. We went there last year and we were all really excited as to go again. This time it was even more special as not only did we have VIP tickets, we were invited to watch the preview showing of the Legends of Chima 4D movie. This is a short family movie that incorporates 4D effects, such as water, wind, snow and fire. Yes, fire! We were shocked by the heat of fire but it made the experience all the more interesting.
