We received a MEGA Bloks set from the Hot Wheels line call the Super Race 8 in 1. I saw this at Toy Fair and it looked cute for younger kids to create various hot wheels inspired cars to play with. These cars are not as detailed as the rest of the Hot Wheels line from MEGA Bloks but they are still fun to build. Opinions are 100% my own as usual.
Andrew helped me with this product review. I figures this would be a fun set for the two of us to work on. He’s a little young for the set and building but he sure helps separate the colors and pieces well.
Tonight I ran a team building exercise with my co-workers. I modified my “Use Every Crayon in the Box” project to use it with a group of people. I bought three Crayola giant sized coloring pages: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hot Wheels and Disney Fairies. Each person got to select one of the pages that they wanted to color. Once I explained the rules I gave everyone a crayon and turned on the one minute timer app on my phone. Every minute a sound would go off and I’d hand out the next crayon. I did this twice tonight, the second time around I colored one myself.
It was interesting to see how people approached this task. Some filled up their whole page halfway through the experiment and didn’t do much more. Others adapted to the concept right away and used all the crayons in so many fun ways. It was cool to see all the talent being shown by everyone.
