Story summary
Researchers from Loughborough University and the University of Surrey found last year that incorporating LEGO building blocks into kids' daily school curriculum can enhance their math and spatial abilities. As a shopping writer, Miska Salemann notes that despite initial skepticism, she observed her toddler's cognitive development improve significantly while playing with LEGOs. The best-selling classic LEGO set is currently available on Amazon for just $33, almost 50% off its original price before the upcoming Prime Day event on October 6 and 7. Salemann recommends this as a worthwhile investment for parents looking to support their children's learning through play.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
