My child built a Lego robot

Physical Education

• The child developed fine motor skills while manipulating and assembling the Lego robot.
• Building the robot required coordination and hand-eye coordination.
• The child learned about balance and stability when ensuring the robot could stand and move without toppling over.
• The activity provided an opportunity for physical exercise as the child may have needed to move around and reach for different Lego pieces.

Encourage further development in physical education by exploring other building activities or challenges that require coordination and balance. You can also introduce more complex Lego sets or encourage the child to design their own robots with specific movements or functions.
