It all starts with LEGOS.

Today I was scouring the web looking for new and inventive ideas for home improvement plans, and came upon something that was sheer genius.  A LEGO wall.

The idea of revamping this childhood love into not just a toy, but into a structural design was overwhelming.  As the childhood memories came flooding back, so did the realization of how inspiring and important these toys had been.  Not only does this simple toy help children develop their brain in so many different ways, but it also sends them in the direction of their dream jobs.  

Children are full of creative ideas and LEGOS allows them to put their creations on display.  There is no right or wrong way to build with LEGOS, so each child’s creations are set apart from one another as truly unique.  To give a child an understanding of individuality and acceptance of their creative expressions can help send them in the direction of careers such as: engineering, architecture, designers, builders, etc.  LEGOS help children develop aspirations and life skills at a young age.  

I grew up with siblings, so we always collaborated on our extreme and elaborate designs.  While it wasn’t always smooth sailing, it did help us learn a thing or two about teamwork.  The majority of structural buildings and machines are thought up by teams.  The teams play off of each other’s unique abilities and expertise to create massive, unique designs.

When building a unique design, there are always some problems that will crop up out of the blue.  When building with LEGOS, you are given a specific amount of supplies.  Children learn at an early age how to figure out the solution to the problem with the allotted amount of supplies they have on hand.  They learn persistence and how to solve problems in order to achieve the goal they initially set.  

I’m sure every engineer, architect, builder, designer, etc., has had their fair share of LEGO time.  This toy has the potential to inspire children to reach their full potential and strive for their dream job.  I encourage and support the installment of LEGO walls everywhere.
