Lego Club at our library.
\nI set out the LEGOs\u00ae each week (We have a large tote full donated by a patron) and when kids come in (ages 5-9) I usually give them a small challenge to make – a rocket, chair, maze for marbles, etc. Ex: Yesterday I set out trays with the exact same number of LEGO\u00ae bricks each with one unique piece (could have been a window, ladder, vehicle front, etc.) and told them all that the challenge was to make something using ALL the pieces \u2013 10 minutes, go!
\nNear the end of the meeting they tell me about what they made \u2013 and make up a story to go with it if they can. I\u2019ve found as each week goes by they get better at telling me about their creation. It has been a great \u2018play\u2019 time for them, and they have been learning to imagine and express themselves along the way! Bonus! We display their creation on a narrow shelf in the library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
