Lego is a wonderful toy that teaches kids while engaging them in play and can last for a long time. Many parents give their kids Lego pieces they played with themselves as children. But when finances pinch, buying more and more Lego sets can become expensive.
There are ways to encourage kids to play with Lego without purchasing the latest huge set and can let them know that you don't want them to stop playing with it, just broaden their approaches to this wonderful learning toy.
One such way to ensure kids get more out of their Lego experience is the free software program, Lego Digital Designer. Downloadable from the Lego website (or just search for Lego Digital Designer on Google) this program is a fully realised computer aided design 3D model creation program based around Lego.
Once you download the program to PC you kids can build just about any model they like using digital Lego pieces and save the finished model or display it at an online gallery. You can even print out basic instructions so that others can follow the process of building the model.
It's an amazing tool and allows kids with a spatial learning focus design in 3D using their favourite Lego elements, including ones they don't own in person. Kids can make their own designs and show it to others or download instructions from the latest sets and build them on the computer.
The program is easy to use and allows a full 3D view of the model from 360 degrees, from far away and zoomed right up close. It is wonderful training for those wishing to enter 3D graphics based careers and also teaches kids invaluable computer skills.
Lego Digital Designer is one of the many ways you can help your child make the most of their existing Lego and knowledge of Lego without breaking the budget.
