Eli and his LEGO Collection

Introducing, Eli, aged 5 from Rolleston and his LEGO collection 

This is Eli, aged 5, and his amazing collection of LEGOs!

'I have been playing with LEGO (and Duplo) for almost as long as I can remember — I started with the Duplo when I was a baby. On my 3rd birthday I was gifted a LEGO fire truck. I love fire trucks, and my mama and dada gifted me a LEGO fire garage, fire boat and lots more! Some of my family and friends also gave me LEGO. We found the Batman set in the OpShop!

My favourite is the fire airplane. This was gifted by my grandparents, Lolo Tony & Lola Monet, it has water shooters and water bombs to help put out the fires in Fireland.

I play LEGO with my mama and dada, and sometimes alone. My little brother, Lucho, and I play with the Duplo together. We keep the LEGO behind a “barricade” (baby gate) so my little brother doesn’t swallow the small pieces.

I love the Legos because I can create anything I want!
