LEGO is not just child’s play, LEGO helps support child development in their own way. There are a wide variety of skills for your child to learn from playing LEGO.

When parents or teachers believe these common myths about early STEM, those attitudes transfer to children. So spread the word: STEM is great for all children, it starts early, kids need opportunities to explore across all aspects of their lives, and you are completely capable of supporting their STEM progress. Be confident, have fun exploring the world around you with your little ones!
