Relevance for Early Childhood Development

Creative Construction

Home & Family

These sets provide a wide range of bricks and special elements in various shapes, sizes and lively colours. They are ideal for stimulating children’s creative and imaginative skills.

These sets encourage children to engage in role play, explore different living environments, domestic roles and responsibilities, and learn to accept and understand different needs and beliefs.

Animals

Rescue Services

Transportation

These sets allow children to learn about different animals, habitats, animal care, seasons and crops. They also develop sorting, categorising and logic skills.

This range provides opportunities to explore emotions related to people in need, in danger and committing crime. The sets are superb for storytelling and allow children to re-enact a variety of roles.

Transportation sets are great for exploring travel themes, different kinds of vehicles and how the community is kept on the move.

ABC 123

Machines & Mechanisms

These sets are designed to tackle early literacy and mathematical development. They provide oppor­ tunities to give children a head start on letter recog­nition, word creation, counting and measuring, shapes and spatial awareness.

Children from 5 years build simple machines, mechanisms, and structures with these sets. They get a basic understanding of mechanical principles and work with gears, levers, pulleys, wheels and axles.

The early learning assortment from LEGO Education features seven categories that cover important early childhood development areas.

Tricks

Guess Who! The Community People Set figures (page 17) are placed randomly in the middle of a group of 3 to 4 players. Each player in turn thinks of a character and describes its physical features, job, age, clothes, e.g. “this person has … .” The player who guesses the character can keep the figure and place it on a building plate.

Crazy Golf Help the children build a crazy golf course using LEGO DUPLO® elements from the Tubes Experiment Set (page 6). The children then have to hit various gates, obstructions, etc., using the balls. The older children can even introduce a point system.

Find the animals Place various animals from the Wild Animals Set (page 14) in a pillowcase and ask the children to take turns at using their sense of touch to determine which animal they want to remove from the bag. The child can then briefly explain how he or she worked out what it was, what sounds it makes, what it eats, where it lives, etc., and the other children can chip in with other facts that might not have been mentioned.

Colours of and decorative designs on elements may vary.

Did you know that children develop their spatial intelligence very effectively through playing with LEGO bricks? And did you know that spatial intelligence is a prerequisite for e.g. reading maps?
