Lego – weekly theme prompt

This weeks theme for play, activities, craft and fun prompt is ‘Lego’. I think this has lots of potential for fun and learning, imagination and creativity. It also keeps children of all ages entertained for ages. You can get big bricks for little ones to build towers and smaller bricks and complicated projects for older children.

I think lego is an excellent rainy day activity, so maybe store these ideas up for the summer holidays to keep the children amused  on those) hopefully not too many) wet days.
