Dads and LEGOS - Time Well Spent

How many times as a father, have I stepped on a LEGO and felt the pain on the bottom of my feet? Too many to count. My house is covered with LEGOS at times. Models and constructive sets decorate the entire house. Common themed stories along with robotics has been a big part of my kid's development. If you have not considered the benefits of LEGOS, here are some thoughts for dads to ponder.

LEGOS are an imaginative world that children benefit from. It opens up there minds to imagination and allows your child to explore their world in many innovative ways. LEGOS also teach your kids to use logic. Each brick has to "fit" into a pattern or scheme that they create in their mind. It may seem like construction to adults, which in a sense it is, however Legos open pathways to development for kids far beyond what we see. There is a reason that MIT and NASA use LEGOS as models to find solutions and clues to endless puzzles. Believe it or not, your child is doing the same thing.
