QUIRKY WORLD ... Lego toys with building blocks of reality

Lego is giving children a chance to put their own blocks on the screen with a product that copies their creations into phone and tablet games-

The Lego Fusion line will launch in August in the US. Each $35 (€25) box will contain about 200 bricks and a special plate to build on.

Creations made on the plate can be photographed with Apple or Android phones or tablets and imported into free, downloadable games.
