LEGO® Online Courses for 4-15 years

Does you child love Lego? Does he / she love to tinker or build things? Lego is a great educational tool to develop creativity in children while developing a genuine love and connection with Science & Maths. Unlike rote learning, with Lego the child learns by exploring and trying out for themselves. It develops their attention span, ability to focus - as they say Hands-on, minds-on! Time spent building with Lego instills in children from a very early age the values of persistence, trying out things oneself, rather than being spoon fed answers and a positive problem solving attitude.

My child does Lego for hours? Is that healthy?

Lego helps develop focus and attention span. It is a very engaging activity, so it is easy to get lost in doing Lego for hours. Even we adults do! Having said that, it should not take away for physical exercise and outdoor playing time which are equally important for a child's growth.

My child is not interested in Lego?

That's okay! Do not push your child to play with it. Leave the pieces around and see if they naturally gravitate to it over a period of time.

You can also make something fun with Lego that might attract the child to try out for themselves. Or if they see other kids playing with it. A trained Lego expert can help a child get started by showing them the possibilities through story-telling and role-playing.

How to sort Lego?

Short answer (and this is what works for us): Sort by lego type. For bricks, plates, tiles separate from technic and electronic pieces. Stack what can be stacked. Colour is the last thing to sort by, as it is the least challenging to find pieces by colour while building.

How to clean Lego?

Short answer Soak in a bucket with a mild detergent like Genteel or Ezee. Let the dirt and grime loosen. DO NOT SCRUB with Scotch Brite etc, it will spoil the plastic. Rub with a gentle sponge if needed. Leave to dry naturally. Wipe with cloth if water is hard, as it might leave marks on the plastic bricks.

LEGO® Buying Guide for Parents

Do you feel that your child knows more about Lego than you do? 

Are your Lego purchase decisions largely based on the recommendations of your child, rather than a careful consideration of their developmental needs? Do you feel lost when it comes to buying Lego, given the vast variety of options out there? Do you largely use price as a guiding factor to buy Lego? If the answers to any of these questions is yes, you have come to the right place.

Lego is an investment, so you have to be smart about your purchase. We hope to help you plan and buy Lego not just as a toy to keep your child busy with, but as an important tool to develop creativity and 21st century skills in them.
