What do I do with a child that is always building something?

Probably the best toy in this category is K'NEX, which are connectable pieces that you can use to make various objects. A typical Kid K'Nex set looks like this:

Also, on their website, they have project ideas for parents and lots of other neat resources. You can also purchase them on the site (as well as in most toy stores).

If you think she's ready for something a little more advanced, you can also use regular K'NEX to build things like this:

Or you may want to start with something more basic like legos, which are always fun!

Hope that helps!

M$Do you think she would be interested in making sand castles/structures. You could get her some play sand for the backyard, or take her to the beach.

Here's a link to lots of sand sculptures.

I know building sand structures is not quite the same as building with blocks and boxes, but it would save you some room in your house.
Cranium also makes fort building sets. If she would be interested in making forts, she could put the pieces away when she done using them to free up some space. The kits have a variety of pieces to make different sizes and shapes of forts.

As for storing her masterpieces, you could start taking pictures and display the pictures in a collage photo frame, or put them in a scrapbook/photo album. You could also buy some cheap shelving to put up in her room to display her creations. You can get white melamine shelves and brackets at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.. that are fairly inexpensive. Ikea also has a variety of shelving units to display her work.

M$I found this site to be very encouraging and wonderful for your daughter also many things and activities for her to do. http://www.kiddlywinks.com/IBS/SimpleCat/Shelf/ASP/Hierarchy/0C.html. Keep encouraging her, she sounds like she is a very gifted child.

M$Make sure she understands when she is making it the joy in "unbuilding" things and that her creations have an expiration date PRIOR to her creating.
There is no end to the imagination with this technique and she will be able to create things that no one else on the block has. Not only that but you get to keep the money you would spend on all that expensive useless toys and go out to dinner with the family.
She'll enjoy making new things over and over again! I promise.

M$Also try Legos and mega blocks. Once she made items, you can take the pictures and she can undo them.

M$In addition to that, you can get him books that can show him how to improve. Depends on the child's age.
Last thing encourage him.

M$#2 call any local theatre groups and see if they need some help building sets or designing props. I'm sure they would like the free labor in exchange for apprenticeship. She builds all kinds of things while there, and doesn't take them home where you will be tripping on them.
#3 if she really enjoys arts and crafts, maybe you can help her sell some of what she makes on www.etsy.com. It's like ebay, only they don't charge fees for listing and it's a site for people who make things.
