Our routine sneaks inwards some bully learning activities for preschoolers without them realizing it. If y'all accept your ain favorite activities with LEGO bricks, I'd honey to hear virtually them inwards the comments.
Here is how nosotros acquire started with a novel LEGO DUPLO set...
1. Dump out all of the LEGO bricks into ane massive pile (unless they are labeled past times number)
Dumping LEGO bricks together with listening to the crashing audio is in all probability my toddler's favorite affair to do. If the bricks are labeled past times position out (like the to a greater extent than advanced sets) thence nosotros only opened upwards the commencement bag.
2. Free build
We start off our creative edifice fourth dimension past times only having a gratis construct fourth dimension for awhile. We brand towers, construct houses, play with the figures, together with only bask exploring the materials together with checking out some of their details... specially novel pieces nosotros haven't seen before. LEGO DUPLO bricks are for kids 1.5-5 thence frequently I'll accept all 3 of my kids (ages 6,4,2) inwards edifice with us. During our gratis construct nosotros sometimes come upwards up with simple LEGO challenges for ane some other too.
3. Sort the LEGO bricks into color piles.
Once the bricks are sorted into color piles it makes it much easier together with quicker to notice bricks nosotros demand every bit nosotros follow the manual instructions. Color sorting is ane of our favorite activities together with I honey that my toddler together with preschooler tin forcefulness out both practise it together now.
4. Start building!
After we've explored together with created for a chip on our ain thence nosotros opened upwards up the pedagogy manual together with start next directions. I honey how the pedagogy manuals are slow to follow together with thence visual. As nosotros construct I tin forcefulness out only indicate to pictures together with my immature lady straightaway knows which pieces to find.

In add-on to learning virtually colors together with sorting, edifice with LEGO DUPLO bricks gets kids looking at shapes, counting, talking virtually sizes, together with working on employment solving strategies. As kids construct together with are successful at next the directions together with creating the projection that they desire to make, in that place is also a huge feeling of accomplishment.
My immature lady is ever comparison herself to her large brother. She also gets easily frustrated past times activities that require her to follow directions together with manipulate objects with her hands because her fine motor skills aren't every bit bully every bit many kids her age. I loved what a successful afternoon nosotros were able to accept every bit she built the Big Farm. She was thence proud of her work.
5. Pretend Play time!
Our final activity ane time a laid upwards is built is pretend play time. We catch the animals together with figures together with human activity out scenes or accept them speak with ane another. I notice that past times participating inwards pretend play activities with my immature lady I am able to model how to brand the figures interact with ane some other spell I play. This is a bully strategy for teaching kids to practise pretend play independently.
Nothing makes me happier than walking past times her room afterward inwards the twenty-four hr menses together with listening to her brand her figures chat with ane some other together with become off on adventures together.
In add-on to these elementary learning activities that come upwards through daily LEGO play, nosotros also honey to become a picayune deeper together with notice additional ways to explore together with create with the bricks inwards novel together with dissimilar ways.
