This week's photos feature our Storytelling through Legos cluster at our 178 and 153 sites.
Storytelling through Legos uses LEGO bricks as a medium to build and narrate a story, turning the blocks into props and characters that give physical form to imagination. This can range from simple narrative play to creating detailed dioramas for stop-motion animation, or even using the process for professional development in areas like business strategy. The practice involves using sets, minifigures, and accessories to develop plot, character, and setting, and can be used by children to develop creativity and literacy, or by adults for more strategic communication.
