20+ creative ways to play and learn with LEGO

Both of my kids have been huge LEGO fans since they were about four-years-old.

My son loves to build new sets (although he has too many sets in my opinion!). My daughter also enjoys building new sets, but she prefers to spend her time in creative play with the LEGO pieces she has collected.

And as awesome as LEGO are for simply building and engaging in imaginative play, I am in awe of the many super creative ideas many bloggers have come up with to use LEGO in other ways.

In this post I’ve gathered some of the most creative ways you can use LEGO for playing and learning. Whether you use LEGO to teach your children about famous landmarks or you engage in a family game of LEGO charades, I have no doubt you’ll find something on this list your children will love.
