LEGO is a valuable tool for home-schooling, offering hands-on learning that develops critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Parents can use it to teach subjects such as math, engineering, history, and social skills. LEGO also improves dexterity and fosters creativity and teamwork, and is especially beneficial for autistic children and kids on the spectrum. It offers numerous educational benefits and is a great way for kids to learn and have fun in a home-schooled environment.

#1 Don't break the bank: Second hand LEGO can be up to 50% cheaper per brick and just as fun as new LEGO.

#2 Consider bulk packs: Look for creativity packs that offer a large quantity and variety of bricks and parts to encourage creative play and innovative thinking.

#3 Get your hands on hard-to-find themes: You can find all your favorite childhood LEGO themes at a cheaper price point with minifigure and creativity packs.

#4 Remember that creativity doesn't come from instructions: Avoid the mistake of thinking that following instructions will make your child more creative. Look for LEGO sets that encourage creative problem solving, cooperation, and teamwork.

#5 Go green with second hand LEGO: Buying second hand LEGO is more environmentally friendly than buying new, as it helps avoid the creation of new plastic bricks and teaches children the value of recycling and reusing toys.

Rachel, the founder of Autism Camp Australia, recently used 100kg of LEGO creativity packs from Bricktastics at her camp. The camp aims to improve the health and wellbeing of autistic young people and their families through respite experiences, therapies, and life skills development. LEGO played a significant role in the proprioceptive-sensory space, which helped children with sensory and emotional regulation, as well as fine motor skills. The parents also enjoyed building with the LEGO and sorting through the various pieces. Rachel was impressed with the variety and cleanliness of the LEGO from Bricktastics, and appreciated the company's transparency and willingness to accommodate her bulk order. The team at Bricktastics is proud to contribute to the creativity and development of children through their LEGO products.

LEGO® is not just a toy for kids, but also a great activity for adults to stimulate their creativity and de-stress. Famous individuals such as Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Terry Crews, Brittany Spears, and Hamish Blake have all been known to enjoy LEGO® in their spare time. Building with LEGO® can also improve cognitive functions, increase overall happiness levels, and help with trust building when building with others. It is easy to get started with LEGO®, as it does not require expensive equipment or a high entry cost. With just 6 2x4 bricks, there are over 915 million possible combinations for LEGO® creations. While it may take a little creativity to get started, there are many resources available for inspiration, such as Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube. It is important to remember that the joy and discovery from the building process is often more rewarding than the end result.
