- Understanding of basic engineering concepts such as stability, balance, and structure
- Developing problem-solving skills by figuring out how to create a maze that works
- Learning about cause and effect as they test their maze and make adjustments
- Exploring the concept of motion as they watch the Lego ball move through the maze
- Developing spatial awareness and hand-eye coordination as they manipulate the Lego pieces
For continued development, encourage the child to experiment with different designs and obstacles in their maze. They could also try timing how long it takes for the ball to make it through the maze and challenge themselves to make it faster. Additionally, they could explore the concept of friction by experimenting with different surfaces for the ball to roll on.
