Kids love the Lego building set because they are in complete control of how complicated they want their creation to be. Whatever they can imagine they can learn to build. This is a toy that grows with a child, as he or she develops new building skills the Legos can keep up and still provide fodder for new ideas.

A child can learn a lot with his or her time spent with a Lego building set. It creates a way to develop critical thinking skills as well as fostering imaginative creativity. You can start with a basic set or one of the themed sets. By putting together different models your child taps into his or her own natural abilities to learn by exploring and doing.

The development of manual dexterity, simple math concepts, and color schemes can help even very young children find new explorations awaiting them in their Lego box. Very young children can use the larger Lego blocks that remove the choking hazard while older children can create masterpieces down to the most finite detail with the regular Lego set.

Those dreaded rainy day blues will be a thing of the past with a Lego building set. Too many kids plop down in front of the television for a steady diet of mind-numbing nonsense. A Lego set can offer much more creative entertainment for a child who complains of boredom.

This is one toy that has no right or wrong way to play with it. In a world filled with pre-set rules, children love to find activities that has no judgment attached to it use. You can't build the wrong thing and you can't use the wrong colored Lego bricks. Whatever your child builds in his or her own manner is right, because it is their creative vision.

The more your kids play with their Lego sets the more they start to develop a strong sense of personal independent thought. When they try something and it doesn't work out so well, they have the ability to change it up, try again, or decide that their mistake is the next great invention. With a good imagination a child can put together just about anything with a basic Lego building set and move on to greater challenges with one of the themed sets like Star Wars.

If lego is not for you or your children then how about a Robotic dinosaur as a christmas present ? Kids love Dinosaurs so this might be a winning idea. Otherwise, what about a Clone trooper helmet with voice changing capability ? Anyone, young or old, who likes Star Wars will like to role play as a clone trooper in a clone war on some far flung planet.
