How do you guys and your young kids handle playing with normal Lego?
Ive got 3 kids, the older ones are turning 5 and 3 this year.

1) The Lego will inevitably break as the kids fight over it.

2) The Lego will inevitably break as the kid plays with it normally.

3) The Lego pieces will inevitably get lost in the house resulting in the Lego not being able to be made anymore (unless we substitute pieces).

And because of 1, 2, and 3 above, my kids are constantly asking me or my wife to re-build it as they cant do it themselves. I like Lego, but it gets annoying.

We actually just get them to free play now instead of building the actual item. Seems to be the key at this age. But they like playing with the complete helicopter, or monster truck or whatever it is way more than being creative at this point.

We've gotten a bunch of sets over the last little while, and Ive hidden them un-opened for now as there's basically a temporary Lego ban on unveiling new sets at my house right now. lol.
