My Lego Kit Lenses

My son is ADHD. So, why did I feel it important to just blurt that out to you? When he was young, he had trouble concentrating on anything for very long. His attention was scattered and he was easily distracted--until we got him some LEGO toys! LEGOs were intriguing and fun enough, that he was able to totally concentrate on them, spending hours on building some intricately designed space station or building. He was so proud to display his accomplishments. And we were proud that he was able to concentrate and sit still long enough to make them.

Legos are great for helping children develop hand-eye coordination, and help foster creativity, too. I can't think of any more educational toy. Some college professors seem to think so, too. Many engineering courses now have students building robots, machines, and clocks out of Legos for a grade!

For homeschool families, what could be more educational than building the White House Kit while studying American History or Government? Or building one of the pirate ships while learning about the trade routes between the Old World and the New World and the dangers involved? Or learning about city government and social studies while building a Lego city? It is much, much more interesting, fun, and educational than coloring pages!

Lower on this lens, you will find a list of all the Lego Squidoo Lenses I have created. I would love for you to visit them and let me know what you think. I will be adding to that list over the next few months, so visit again to learn about my new lenses.

Give your favorite child a box of creativity enducing Lego bricks!
