Some see Lego’s as toys for kids. While it is considered a toy, I also think you can use it for part of your schooling. There is just so much a child can do with legos.
Samuel and his police car.
They can separate the Lego”s by size, color and shapes.
Claire and her beach set.
When putting the Lego sets together, the child follows directions of the set.
Lego City set.
Playing with the sets can spark imagination and creativity. You can even let the kids build projects for schooling of what they have read about. There really is so much you can do with Lego’s for schooling.
Lego Friends set.
We love playing with Lego’s in our house. My oldest two have been playing with Lego’s for years. Now my younger two children are getting into it. Yes, they do hurt when you step on them, but I think the learning possibilities outweigh the pain. 😉
Does your children play with Lego’s? Do they like to build the sets or do they like to just create anything from the Lego’s?
My kids do a lot of both – free play and building sets. We LOVE legos here!
D stepped on one the other day when he was coming to show me he had cut his finger. He now has a huge gash in his finger (should have gotten a few stitches, but was terrified) and a huge bruise/blood blister thing on the bottom of his foot. My poor boy can’t win for losing?!
Poor D! I sure hope he is okay now!
I agree there is so much that you can do with Legos for school, and sadly it doesn’t always seem like people realize that. Legos are pulled out on a regular basis for school work.
I am looking forward to getting the rest of our Lego’s out of storage this weekend. I see us using them a lot more as well. My 6 year old daughter has played with both of those small sets that I just got for her and her brother. Her brother has had to ask her to let him play with them! 🙂
