LEGO Reveals 2,082-Piece A-Frame CabinThe next LEGO Ideas set has been announced!The A-Frame Cabin was originally submitted as a fan design, and the company slated it to be one of their future releases way back in 2021. From the submission, LEGO then worked to perfect the model for years. The A-Frame Cabin, stacking up as set number 21338, will contain 2,080 pieces. When built, the model stands 11 inches tall while resting on a 17.5-inch wide base plate. The structure has two floors, which each story furnished with some outdoorsy flourish. The package, aside from the necessary bricks and accessories, will also include four mini-figures. Honestly, they really aren’t that unique, just some small LEGO people that will appear to look like a family staying in the model home. The LEGO Ideas set will be available in stores on February 4 and will be priced at $179.99. For those who are VIP members of the LEGO Shop Online, you will be able to grab one as early as February 1.Image credit: LEGO#AFrameCabin #fanidea #fandesign #models #builds #LEGO #toys

The 2021 Inductees into the National Toy Hall of Fame include Sand, Like the Kind People Find For Free at the BeachMany toys have come and gone over the years, decades, and centuries. Some of them have been lost through time and forgotten. Others are still remembered and played even to this day. Chess and playing cards are great examples.The National Museum of Play, however, considers one toy to be "universal": sand. And it is a no-brainer why it is the case. First of all, it is present in nature in abundant amounts. Second, it's free-to-play! Literally!Historians believe that we humans have been playing with sand ever since the time of ancient civilizations. Unsurprisingly, playing with sand and sand sculpting is still popular to this day.The National Museum of Play has inducted sand to their National Toy Hall of Fame this year, along with the American Girl Dolls and the board game Risk. Check out the other inducted toys from the previous years over at the site.(Image Credit: RAMillu/ Pixabay)#Games #Toys #Childhood #Sand
