Press release from the LEGO FOUNDATION: The LEGO Foundation assist children with autism to build confidence by sponsoring centers to show children how to increase self esteem by exercising their creativity with LEGO. Children have proved to have real boosts in confidence and discover new strengths. It’s a miracle how quickly our children grow in body and mind. Learning through play helps children develop the skills they need to thrive. The LEGO Foundation have an ever growing body of evidence to illustrate this. Consider children who lose the opportunity for education during war. Children who are forced to move into refugee camps and wait for years to return to normal if ever, with no opportunity for schooling. Also once hunger, medical needs and fresh water issues are addressed in struggling areas, heathy development of children's minds is an issue. Lego also donate age specific LEGO kits to 24 underdeveloped or war torn countries world wide every year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LEGO Nursery Rhyme. One Brick at a time I build my LEGO so it stands real tall. I have no problem with that at all. Now its time to make a Ferrari car. If I can do this I will be a star. I use all the pieces that I had. I think its time that I called dad. Something didn’t go quite right. Dad says we will be up all night Kid sister was going to bed. She offered her big Lego Bricks instead. Ahh it seems dad is on the right track. Hey dad, I want my LEGO kit back !

The adept portrayal of their experiences through vivid imagination and imagery truly enlivens the narrative.

Thank you so much SP. I cant take credit for the Press Release. That is straight off the internet. I really thought it was a perfect opportunity to let people know this about Lego. However, the little nursery rhyme is mine, and I hope children will like it.

Lots to love about this SV - I've been there when a bit in the middle had been done incorrectly and we've patiently sat and retraced the steps to remedy it. We have loads of Lego that is not part of sets so we can build and rebuild with it - there may have been the odd occasion I've put a pic of my own creations on Facebook :) important message too x

I would love to see them D Link please ! Thanks for your comments, I tried to keep the Nursery Rhyme short and simple. Kids only like them when they are easy to learn and remember. Appreciate your reading and commenting. SV

One of my sons actually made a Ferrari to scale from a (very expensive ) Lego kit. It took him over a week of the school holidays. He still has it mounted on a board in the den of their home. I like watching kids have fun with Lego, until they leave a few pieces lying around and barefoot they get trodden on. OUCH !! Thanks for the great comment Charlie.
