Children will be given a specific theme or goal to create a project, either separately or together. Building with LEGO® supports skill building and problem-solving for children. All LEGO® bricks will be provided by the library. Please do not bring in LEGO® bricks from home.
This is best for kids 6-9, but all children are welcome.
