Apart from being fabulous fun, LEGO® for young children helps them develop a huge range of social skills – super-important for their early school years as well as expanding their social circle. Playing with LEGO® teaches young children about sharing, working together, and focusing on a single task for a longer period. Educational toys also develop physical skills such as dexterity and co-ordination, and helps young children to problem solve too.
 

Creativity and experimentation are at the heart of LEGO®, so to get youngsters started, there’s a range of LEGO® for 6-year-old children that’s relatively easy to construct so that they get a sense of achievement early on. This encourages them to try more complex sets, and LEGO® for 8-year-old children introduces them to a whole new level of fun. 

The LEGO® Brick Sketches sets include everyone’s favourite superhero, Batman, or if your little one is a Star Wars fan, why not introduce them to LEGO® play with a Brick Sketch Stormtrooper? With enough challenge to push their problem-solving skills but with an achievable result, they’re a great stimulus to young minds using relatable characters they know and love.

Educational toys don’t have to be dull – and LEGO® for this important age group proves that. With lots of options to choose from, your young child can develop at their own pace, working with mum and dad or their friends to create ever more complex and challenging kits. They’ll learn while having fun, and the smile on their face when they complete a project is priceless!
