From this site I learned the other things they are learning are:
- Learning about Numbers through Play
- Social development
- Shapes and Colors
- Ideas and Creativity
- learning by doing, also referred to as hands-on learning or learning by making things
- Getting a feel for [a grasp on, literally] the qualities of the materials at hand
- learning about the powers of progressive refinement (trial-error), and of starting over (doing-undoing)
- patience, determination and self-esteem
And here I was thinking it was just a nice way to get some peace and quiet!
Are your kids into lego?

my Riley LOVES lego!! He got a new set for his birthday on the weekend, he spends hours building with his lego!!
Yep - all the kids enjoy lego... even Syms too!
SO true! It's a GREAT learning medium! We use it in our history lesson to make things like ancient pyramids etc :-) Jared can't get enough of LEGO (Kohen, not so much yet .. but give it time!)
Great score!
Ben is totally in Lego at the moment...so much so I am planning a Lego birthday party for him!!
The girls love it too...
Great idea Sima

Lego is a favorite in our house full of boys! Even mr 18 months is giving it a good go! Love all the learning that comes with it! Here I was just thinking they were having fun...lol!
Your post saved us from arsenic hour tonight. After nearly testing my hair out with two ratty kids when we got home, I suddenly remembered your post.
Out came the box of lego and silence and happy play reigned once more. Thanks for the reminder!
We have a big box of lego at my house, and no kids! Haha. A toy that spans the ages. :-)
Cool, awesome creations. I also love to design awesome creations using Legos. Check out my blog Cool Lego Creations
