Build Lego building and animals

Art

• Developed creativity and imagination by designing and building various structures and animal figures using Lego.
• Enhanced fine motor skills through snapping and assembling Lego pieces to create detailed constructions and animals.
• Explored color and pattern combinations while building and designing the Lego structures and animals.

Math

• Practiced spatial awareness by visualizing and replicating 3D designs with different shapes and sizes.
• Introduced basic geometry concepts like shapes, symmetry, and spatial relationships through building with Lego bricks.
• Engaged in counting and sorting activities as they organized the Lego pieces based on size, color, and shape.

Physical Education

• Improved hand-eye coordination and dexterity while handling and connecting Lego bricks.
• Promoted physical activity through reaching, stretching, and bending to collect and assemble Lego pieces.
• Enhanced spatial awareness and balance while manipulating the Lego bricks to build structures and animals.

Science

• Explored basic engineering and architectural principles through designing and building different structures with Lego.
