Sharing is caring!

While you can use LEGO bricks to build vehicles, buildings, and more, you can also use them for learning! This week I’m sharing with you 27 Lego Ideas and resources I’ve found online. There are tips here for using LEGO and DUPLO creations to reinforce math, spelling, writing, and engineering concepts!

Ask any child what they love to play with.  At least half of them are going to say “LEGOS!” In our family, the LEGO box is what my kids fight over the most. They love the challenge of coming up with a design, trying to build a creation, and then seeing if it actually works afterward.
