LEGO Camp - Simple Machines

Bricks for Tots™ is specifically geared for young pre-schoolers. Learning through play with DUPLO®, 4-6 year olds can master fundamentals of pattern recognition, sorting, counting and alphabet recognition, while enhancing gross and fine motor skills. LEGO® Education kits are used in the curriculum. This encourages collaboration, story-telling, and helps develop the use of descriptive language and understanding of different roles and emotions that relate to daily life.Through play and exploration with DUPLO®, pre-schoolers are introduced to the mechanical principles of gears, levers, pulleys, wheels and axles. Young LEGO® Engineers also investigate gravity, flotation and balance. They learn to solve problems through design and collaborate with peers to learn and share findings. Parents will receive a newsletter update on how their young builders are doing and a class magazine with photos of projects.Post-lunch, the tots will have an opportunity to continue to build and explore with DUPLO, read books, color, sing and play. Must have prior pre-school experience and is not recommended for nappers.
