While my son loves building models with his building sets, what he loves even more is inventing his own structures and vehicles. He generally only follows the instructions that come with a building set once. Soon after, he’s taken apart the set and created something completely new. So when I told him that we were going to be using his KRE-O CityVille Invasion blocks to create a unique KRE-O Kreation, he was only too happy to oblige.
KRE-O sets are lots of fun for a child that builds the models and then acts out scenarios with the included characters. But the sets are even more fun once imagination takes over! The building possibilities are endless and my son was soon completely absorbed in creating something brand new with his KRE-O CityVille Invasion sets.
But as much as I love watching him hard at work, the highlight for me is hearing Zackary explain what he’s built. He has a vivid imagination and I feel like I get a glimpse into my son’s head when he tells me the story that inspired his KRE-O Kreation. He especially loves building small gadgets that create special effects for the characters in the set. From adding scoops to the front of a modified helicopter to pick up bad guys to building power grids and lasers for the Kreons to use when they battle, there’s plenty of original inventing going on when my son gets building!

My son will follow the instructions when he first gets it to see what the set is like, but then he will tear it apart and start building his own things afterwards.
