Lego Repairs

Got a hole or crack in the wall? Fill it with LEGOS! I love all things clever and amusing, so this really made me smile today. The Lego wall repairs by Jan Vormann are not only playful pieces of art, but also creatively mix old and new building materials (or toys in this case?). How great would it be to stumble upon this during an afternoon walk?

    Let go of my lego. That is a very clever way of using the childhood toy. Maybe he loved them so much as a kid, that was a solution for a whole in the rocks. It if really something.

    haha! I love this. I thought for some reason you had posted about it, so I had it bookmarked, but didn't want to post it. Maybe I was just waiting for you :)
    Wish people would do this in my city!

    This is great! I'm going to forward the photos to my nephews. They have both worked at a lego store for their young adult lives. They even started a lego club at college.

    My father and my kids thought this wild! My kids have bins on top of bins of the things. Now I know what I can do with them when I'm not removing the small pieces from the heel of my foot!
