Lego day: educational activities to do with Legos

At our house we have a plethora of Legos. So today (while it snowed outside... :0...) we pulled them out and focused our morning around doing different educational activities with them (aside from just building with them). Try these at home! The activities go as follows:

1.) Organize them by color

2.) Count them and make piles, with the correct quantities, of the identified numbers 

3.) Do simple patterns (blue, green, blue, green)

5.) Organize them by their size

6.) Talk about more/less (an early math skill)

When doing structured activities with your child he/she may get inspired to be creative and make their own "activities." Let them do it. It's all part of their learning and development. Then after they're done with Lego-time you can do clean-up-time and teach them the importance of being tidy.
