Counting to 10 with LEGO Brick Cars
Hands on Math Activities
Learning Math with LEGO Bricks: Creative Counting Numbers Activities
Main Idea
Does your child enjoy cars or trains? This activity will help them learn to count to 10 at home!
Activity Prep
(What we used)
LEGO brick pieces for creating numbers
LEGO vehicle base pieces (I used 11)
LEGO small wheels (I used 42)
How We Played
Make numbers from 1 to 10 using LEGO bricks. For example, to create the number seven, I used a bracket piece for the top part.
2. Place the numbers on the vehicle base pieces and attach the wheels. I connected the numbers 1 and 0 to create the number 10 with extra wheels and vehicle base pieces.
I was building numbers from 1 to 10 using LEGO bricks (I don't remember why. Just bored?). Then, my son, who loved the Pixar movie "Cars" gave me a fun idea. He shouted, "Let's turn them into cars!". I decided to follow his lead, and it turned out to be a great way of introducing numbers and counting. He spontaneously played with them, calling each number by name! "One!" "Five!"
