He had established a business that was then later on passed from father to son and today the founder’s grandson Kjeld Kirk Kristianses and his children are the owners of the LEGO Group. LEGO Company is a company which manufactures toys and the LEGO group is a family owned industry. The founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen had taken the first two letter of the Danish words LEG GODT meaning “play well”, He wasn’t unaware that the Latin meaning of the word is “I put together”. Playing is a key element in the children’s growth and development and it stimulates the imagination and the emergence of ideas and its creative expression. The aim of the company product is to “inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow”, all the products are based on the underlying philosophy of learning and the development throughout its play. The philosophy of LEGO is that it enriches the child’s life, which lay their foundation for the later adult life.

    In his attempt to dethrone the corruption of conformity in his hometown, Emmet and his team will utilize their individual gifts and abilities to take down Lord Business and set free the realm of Bricksburg. This is similar to a concept that Paul refers to in his letter to the Corinthians concerning the body of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 12:18-20, “But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.” (ESV) Emmet and, by extension, the central theme of the Lego Movie desires to communicate that the things that make individuals different from each other is what makes them important and valuable to society. Creativity and imagination, in this way, becomes the opposite of conformity. The Lego Movie clearly and innovatively communicates that individuals are not just identical cogs in a monotonous machine; rather they are unique and equally important pieces in an intricate

When considering the impact LEGO Friends has had on the overall growth of the corporation, one must consider the actual sizeable contribution it could have potentially made in respect to the sheer number of available theme lines the company offers. However, despite the line only being a fraction of the available products, in 2012 it was the fourth top-selling line overall (behind City, Star Wars, and Ninjago) and the second most successful new release of the year out of a total of 15, which together contribute to more than 60% of the company’s profit.15 Therefore, by analysing general revenue and income one could get a

    Educators need to understand the importance of fundamental concepts like permanence of objects. Educators are therefore able to respond by planning activities that are suitable for each child going through each developmental stage. Knowing what experiences are best for each developmental stage will help children get the best out of life. Educators need to provide not just one but a whole range experiences if they want to build a secure foundation for future learning. By giving children fun, hands on experiences they learn and practise new skills that they can they develop and become more complex over time. An example of this is by giving a young child building blocks, not only will he be having fun while creating his own structures but he will also learn problem solving skills, increase his imagination, measuring skills, developing solutions and reasoning skills, balance and spatial body awareness just to name a few.

  • Legos

    Legos are the multi-colored blocks we used as children to build creations that were only limited by our imaginations. I remember adding to my multi-colored plastic sculptor, each block putting me one step closer to the final product. The process would always entail first setting up a strong foundation, and then creating structural support, while always having a plan in the back of my mind. The outcome of which, would tower above me; to think it all began with a single block. In many ways people are similar to Legos. We are the combination of our experiences, each adding to our personas, and shaping how we view the world. Also like Legos, to have a stable and functioning final product it must have a foundation, support and a plan. I was able to establish my foundation in high school.
