How does Janis Elspas incorporate LEGO into her creative parenting strategies?

I use LEGO as both a learning tool and a way to keep kids meaningfully busy. I’ve shared how open-ended building grows STEM and STEAM skills and creativity—those kid builders often become tomorrow’s engineers, coders, architects, and designers.

I also lean on LEGO for practical parenting wins: quiet independent play, family bonding time, and fun projects like DIY LEGO name tags that kids love to show off.

Would you like ideas for specific LEGO activities by age or by skill (STEM, creativity, fine motor)?
