From experience if you want your kid to develop an interest in something you'll want to expose them to it and not just keep it to yourself. My daughters love Legos and Duplos. They play with them constantly.
My 5 year old is getting the Jabba's Palace set for Christmas this year. It's all she really wants.
Thanks, that's encouraging and you sound like a lucky father. I'll expose her for sure, I just meant that I don't want her to know that's what I want her doing so I avoid triggering her rebellious instincts.
That doesn't really start for a long, long time. If you just keep good toys around they'll take to them. If they really just don't like building then you find something else but in my experience just exposure to toys is a great starting place.
