Aayan can spend hours playing with his Lego, Jenga and skills kids can learn from LEGO. I find Lego one of the best toys where you can run your own creativity and make just anything out of it. The best part is to see kids trying out various options and not just restricting them to those preset designs along with the box.
School term holidays have begun and keeping kids engaged is indeed a big task. these term holidays are a good time to explore and learn from various activities by making good memories. This was way back in 2012 when he was 4 years and he started with his creative mind.
Kids can learn many skills from playing with LEGO..
- Fine Motor Skills
LEGO gives the perfect opportunity for kids to develop fine motor skills when picking and building with the tiniest of LEGO pieces. If you have ever spent hours building your LEGO creation, your fingers will definitely feel it.
He loves building them for hours and hours.
2. Creativity
One thing is for sure kids can never get bored of it as there are endless opportunities to run their creative juices. Every creation is simply a form of art with their imagination every kid can make something wonderful.
3. Resilience
Whenever I do it with Aayan, I really feel that it really needs a lot of persistence and resilience because one wrong move and you will be doing it again. I realised he never felt redoing it in case it went wrong.
4. Cooperative Play
Kids love to play together with friends and LEGO brings that opportunity to learn about sharing, negotiating, helping each other, taking turns and working together as a team which they start learning from a young. These skills help them when growing up.
