Today we played with Legos for the first time!! The kids LOVED it.
Legos help develop your child's cognitive development and refine key motor skills. Research shows that this kind of spacial thinking is a highly important predictor of achievement within the STEM field. You also tend to see more creativity and divergent thinking from those that play with Legos. This comes from creating their own structures, coming up with their own games, using their imagination to create characters and situations. Legos are not just for kids! There are many benefits for the adult brain as well. Many engineers will say that Legos were one of their earliest inspirations towards launching their career. In fact, MIT use legos to help in building design.
