If there's a gift that works for both the boys and girls in your family—and keeps everyone equally entertained—most parents would be thrilled. Gender norms aside, building sets are great entertainment for boys and girls, teens and adults.
Suzanne Calton says her Latter-day Saint temple-building kits are not only popular among all age groups, but of all the photos submitted to her, nearly half are built by girls, moms and even grandmothers!
So whether you want a good STEM activity for your child or something to keep your teens engaged on Sundays, Brick'Em Young building sets are a great way to spend time together building family memories.
Temple sets
Especially these days, it's important that kids learn about the significance of the temple. Keep your kids actively thinking about temple worship with building sets such as Salt Lake, Mesa, Oakland, Provo City Center, Logan, Manti, St. George, Idaho Falls, Cardston Canada, Las Vegas and Laie Hawaii temples.
The larger temple sets take anywhere from 3-6 hours, depending on the design. A smaller Salt Lake Temple set is also available for younger builders with a build time of an hour.
Not only has this venture helped teach about the importance of temples, but it's created an opportunity for families to disconnect from electronics and spend time interacting and growing closer together.
"Many parents have expressed excitement about having a project for their children to do that does not involve electronics," said Suzanne. "It makes an ideal gift as it connects faith, family and fun.”
