LEGO® Education in Your Homeschool
Tuesday, April 22, 2014 at 5:01AM
LEGO® Education has enhanced our homeschool in untold ways.
My son actually sees most of life in LEGO bricks (if you have a child that is LEGO obsessed you know what I mean!). Our curriculum pieces from LEGO® Education have been such a blessing.
As you are thinking about curriculum for next year, I want to remind you that I have many reviews of LEGO® Education materials here on the blog. You can find appropriate age ranges, our impressions, and more.
Better still, in this post I will share with you how WE USE LEGO® Education and also a very special deal on two of their products.
The biggest "complaint" I hear from people is that the products are expensive. Guess what? I don't think they are expensive, I think they are an INVESTMENT that will last many, many years. The products from LEGO® Education grow with your children and are usable through all curriculuar areas (math, science, writing, reading, and so much more).
I know many readers who have put them on a wishlist for the grandparents or have just saved up to buy them.
Language Arts and LEGO® Education
When people think of LEGO, Language Arts doesn't normally come to mind.
LEGO® Education has two products, however, that can help you teach Language Arts in your homeschool. Read my reviews and see how we use them in our homeschool:
Telling Stories with StoryStarter
Build Creativity & Imagination with BuildToExpress
LEGO® Education Savings
There is curently a DEAL on the LEGO® Education StoryStarter and BuildToExpress sets through the Homeschool Buyers Co-Op.
This is the lowest prices you will see this year, so if you are looking to purchase, do it now.

This is great! I am very new to LEGO education - can you elaborate a little on the two different sets on sale to help those of us with less experience choose, please? Thank you!
Pamela -- I've linked to my reviews of the other two sets --- you can visit those links (in the post) to learn all about the 2 set!
What age group would these be appropriate for?
Hi Mary! We got our first lego education set to do over the summer. It is the simple machines homeschool pack. What is so cool, is that our science this year ends with simple machines as the last lesson (apologia physics and chemistry)! I had no idea it did that. God is good ;) anyway, I just have one son. Any ideas on how to do the work? I have read the info, but just wondering your thoughts on making it a great time for my son. We may have one friend once in a while to do it, too. Thanks for any advice.
