The team at Bricks4Kidz will have your Lego-loving lads and lasses constructing, creating, doing and designing at their hands-on build-based workshops run every school holidays. The Bricks4Kidz programs cycle through a variety of themes to keep things fresh (and dynamic for those repeat attendees!).
Trust us when we say that the real-life Lego Masters that host these sessions know all the building blocks that make up a good time, with these half or full-day school holiday workshops blending fun and learning into a great alternative for child care during the hols—or just an all-round good time if you’re looking for an activity for a few hours.
And if you’re worried about whether there’s any learning in all this LEGO, you’ll be thrilled to know that the team behind Bricks4Kidz have spent plenty of time behind the scenes in research and development on how to deliver their sessions in innovative ways that are also scientifically optimised for attention levels. The team have been working on designing courses with challenges using the “science of learning” approach, which leads to more scientifically quantifiable outcomes, rather than just the old hit and miss style that may have been utilised in years gone by.
We’ve got the lowdown on all the upcoming sessions for the July school holidays!
