- Introduce basic addition or subtraction concepts by asking the child to count the total number of Lego pieces used or remove a certain number of pieces from their creation.
- Engage the child in activities that involve measuring or comparing the sizes of different Lego structures.
- Provide opportunities for the child to work collaboratively with others, promoting communication and problem-solving skills.
