Who did not grow up playing with LEGO? As a child, I was enthralled by the joy that these seemingly nondescript rectangular colored plastic bricks could bring. The creatures and worlds that existed only in my imagination could finally be given realistic form (even if they didn't move or breathe like their living counterparts).LEGO is not a game in the traditional sense of the word. It is a unifying force that needs neither language nor rules. It appeals to individuals across a wide variety of ages, demographics, and cultures. The building blocks of LEGO foster creativity, curiosity, and even teambuilding spirit, and result in some jaw-dropping works of art that can take hours, days, weeks, and even months to craft. Check out the LEGO Masters TV show – contestants can spend up to NINE hours constructing their masterpieces! To say nothing of the real-life structures that may have come about as a result of prototyping using LEGO, or the careers that were launched in architecture, urban planning, medicine, science, technology or mathematics as a result of early (and long-lasting) encounters with LEGO!Note: This list may contain affiliate links, which means that I may receive a commission (at no charge to you) if you make a purchase using these links.
