Hamleying it Up

It's the FAO Schwarz of London, and it's Christmas, so what the heck. We visit Hamley's toy store and end up discovering just how much you can do with Legos. There's a classic English phone booth...

 

 

...and Prince William and Princess Kate....

 

After we see the store's masters at work, our big purchase turns out to be that paste stuff you put at the end of a straw and blow up into a balloon, a balloon which deflates and plastifies almost immediately. The ball/balloons we make are not nearly this big, and I have this fear that we're single-handedly destroying the environment, but the kids love them nonetheless.
