Math
- Toddler-grade child learns spatial awareness by manipulating and fitting Lego bricks together.
- Counting skills are developed as the child counts the number of bricks used or the number of sides on a brick.
- Basic addition and subtraction concepts can be introduced as the child combines or separates Lego bricks.
- Patterning skills can be enhanced by arranging bricks in different colors or sizes in a repeating pattern.
Encourage further development by introducing more complex building challenges such as building towers with specific heights or creating symmetrical structures. You can also incorporate measurement concepts by asking the child to build a bridge with a specific length or a house with a certain width.
