- Understanding of basic building concepts and structures
- Recognizing and identifying different shapes and sizes
- Exploring cause and effect by building and testing stability
- Understanding the concept of balance and equilibrium
- Experimenting with different materials to build and observing their properties
- Learning about motion and movement by creating objects that can roll or move
- Exploring simple machines such as gears and pulleys
- Exploring the concepts of friction and gravity through building and manipulating legos
Tips for continued development:
Encourage the child to continue building with legos, exploring more complex structures, and challenging their problem-solving skills. Introduce them to more advanced concepts such as aerodynamics by building airplanes or exploring patterns and symmetry through creating symmetrical lego designs. You can also incorporate science experiments with legos by exploring topics like buoyancy or sound vibrations using lego bricks. Encourage the child to document their creations and observations in a science journal, allowing them to reflect on their learning and develop their communication skills.
