Free LEGO Printables and 70+ LEGO Learning Activities

My kids had lots of LEGOS when they were growing up. I always thought LEGOS were great for logic, architectural skills, problem-solving skills, and collaborative experiences, although we didn’t use them for focused learning activities. Now there are LOTS of amazing activities online for using LEGOS specifically for hands-on learning activities.

Free LEGO Printables and 70+ LEGO Learning Activities

I love LEGO learning activities any time, but I really appreciate them in the summer as an interest-led way to prevent “summer brain drain.”

Today, I want to share some of those amazing activities. These aren’t all necessarily Montessori-inspired activities, but you can always add an activity to an activity tray or table and color code your activity to fit with traditional Montessori colors if you wish.

Here’s a fascinating post about Montessori and LEGO: Are LEGOS Montessori? by Child Development Institute of the Redwoods

The following LEGO learning activities are organized roughly by subject. Where there are multiple posts, I’m categorizing the posts under the subject of a photo I’m featuring.
