Building with Lego

J finally started playing with Lego. He has been playing his Duplo (Medium Sized Lego Blocks) for the past 4 years. It has been hard for him to handle Lego because the size is just too small for his hands. He could not "feel" those little blocks with his fingers. Hence, he don't really play them.

He built this structure himself,

with a little help from Daddy.

The amazing thing is he is now willing to build with these small little pieces. Even though he still has some difficulty in putting the little pieces together and pulling these little pieces out. To me, this is an achievement! As compared to the initial years when he did not even want to touch Duplo to just wanting to build with Duplo and now building with Lego. It is indeed an achievement.

J still has some difficulty handling the little pieces.

Having a Special Needs child, we celebrate every little achievements.

Lego promotes fine motor skills, creativity, problem solving skills, etc. Fine motor skills helps in writing, which he is still working on. Hopefully, one day, he could also be interested to assemble Lego from instructions, which helps in focus and attention to details.
