Playing with legos was one of the things that defined our childhood. From making our favorite buildings to cars to what not! It brought ideas from our imagination into reality. But did you know playing with them either individually or in a group can benefit children in so many incredible ways! We at FunCorp love playing with legos all day and also have a wide variety of them to keep our customers engaged! Let's have a look at all the amazing things below that they are learning, all while playing with legos!

Enhancing creativity - Lego helps enhance creativity levels among children and lets them bring their imaginations to reality through building with those bricks. It enhances the creative power of children and serves as a way for exploring the world at large.

Develop virtues of patience - Lego building can take a lot of time. Especially if you can't find that 1 piece amidst a hundred others. In a world where children like instant gratification, it helps children learn the virtues of patience and shows that hard work pays off!

Focus and Concentration development - Following proper instructions and planning what piece comes next beforehand, all while waiting for their turn and also listening to others, it all takes focus and can hugely help children who sometimes struggle a little with keeping their concentration up for a while.

Builds teamwork and social skills - Lego is usually played in a small group where children help each other to build what they intend to. They might be the designer or the builder, each role requires different skills to correctly execute it. This collaborative teamwork encourages focus, sharing and reinforces social contact.

Resilience and perseverance - We all have experienced the trauma that comes from the accidental destruction of a carefully constructed Lego tower. Encouraging children to start again and not give upbuilds resilience and teaches them perseverance when unfortunate situations occur.

Fine motor skill development - Connecting small pieces of Lego requires precision and coordination, which helps children to develop their fine motor skills. Lego is made for children of all ages, so Lego is great for skill development in the beginning, while more complex Lego sets are great for teaching fine techniques as your children grow.

Adventure and experimentation - Playing with lego offers a space in which children can experiment and allow them to try things that they have never tried. From the excitement of the initial idea to the disappointment when it doesn’t work out, creating the space to play around with ideas is needed for developing creative thinking and problem-solving.

These benefits offer immense value to the children as they grow up in life. Now, you can get your favorite sets delivered right to your home from FunCorp!
