Legos

Math

• The child learned about shapes and spatial awareness by manipulating and building with Legos.
• Counting and number recognition can be reinforced by counting the number of Legos used in a construction or sorting them by color or size.
• Patterning skills can be developed by creating repeating sequences using different colors or shapes of Legos.
• The child can practice basic addition and subtraction by adding or removing Legos from a construction.

Encourage continued development by challenging the child to build more complex structures, such as buildings with multiple rooms or vehicles with moving parts. You can also introduce the concept of measurement by asking the child to build the tallest tower possible using a specific number of Legos.
