Provided on a 1-to-1 basis over the course of 12 weeks in 30m sessions. Lego therapy sessions offer a creative and engaging way for children to explore their thoughts and feelings. Using Lego, children can build their own stories, scenes, or characters, allowing them to express ideas that might be difficult to put into words.
This hands-on, imaginative approach can be especially helpful for children who struggle to verbalise their thoughts and feelings. Over time, it supports emotional awareness, problem-solving, confidence, and connection with the trusted adult facilitating the session.
It is a highly effective, enjoyable intervention that promotes social, emotional, and cognitive development in children. By using play as a therapeutic tool, it helps children practice essential skills in a fun, supportive setting.
Through collaborative play, children practice verbal and non-verbal communication. They learn how to express their ideas, listen to others, and interpret social cues such as eye contact and body language.
Completing Lego projects successfully, especially within a group, boosts a child’s confidence and self-esteem. They feel a sense of accomplishment from seeing their finished product and contributing to the group..
Lego-based tasks involve planning, building, and adjusting when things don’t go as expected. This helps children develop problem-solving skills and learn to think critically about how to approach tasks.
Engaging in a structured yet fun activity like Lego building can be soothing for children who struggle with anxiety or sensory overload. The focus on the task helps them relax and take their minds off worries.
