What's gives kids endless fun (and adults endless pain when they step on the pieces)?
Lego, and Coquitlam Public Library is looking to build the ultimate Lego collection.
CPL's children's department is looking for Lego pieces of all shapes and sizes for the library's Lego Club. Lego donations are accepted at both branches: Poirier and City Centre.
Why Lego at the library? Building with Lego requires organization, planning, concentration and patience, according to a CPL release, while encouraging children to use critical thinking and creativity - it also improves fine motor skills.
Creative play helps children become better readers and they build valuable literacy skills as they build towers, trucks, dragons, pirate ships, castles and more.
