Actually we have a whole lot of fridge magnets in general, and our fridge and freezer are constantly covered in a variety of artwork, school schedules, postcards, Christmas cards, theatre tickets and other odds and ends.<\/p>\n<p>But the Lego magnets have gotten a special role. I often use them as visual reminders of tasks that need doing the same day. When the task needs doing, I move a Lego guy from the fridge to the kitchen table as a friendly, colourful reminder. We walk past there so many times during the day that we&#8217;re bound to notice it several times.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a Santa figure that symbolizes ordering groceries online. There&#8217;s a bearded guy that sometimes stands for haircuts but sometimes also for homework (bearded = wise = learning). There&#8217;s a shark and a manta ray that remind the kids that it&#8217;s bathing day. Etc.<\/p>\n<p>Adrian also likes playing with them and experimenting with the magnets.

Here he&#8217;s using the bearded guy to push the manta ray guy around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have a bunch of Lego fridge magnets.
