The world of girls is cool. It’s creative. Just like her. Unleash her creative potential with LEGO® sets and experiences handpicked especially for girls, designed around the things she loves, and made to inspire her. We’re just here for it – it’s her world, after all. She built it her way. And that’s the way it is.
The fear of the imperfect is the most common creative fear there is (well, that and the fear of missing a brick!). Teach your girls to put their worries aside and just focus on getting stuff done – it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be. And it can be whatever she wants.
Failure? We don’t know her. That’s because there’s really no such thing as failure, especially when you’re playing. Oopsies are to be expected, and they help us all learn. Yes, even us grown-ups. Your girls will love hearing about your own, and learn that setbacks are really no big deal if you have the right mindset.
Frustration is an important part of the creative process because it helps us overcome obstacles. So, you can tell your girls to take their frustration and put it to good use by keeping on trying and creating.
Some small words pack a mighty big punch – like the word ‘yet’. Trying something new isn’t always easy. Getting good at something takes dedication and practice. Sometimes, all it takes is a little word at the end of sentences like “I can’t do it… YET” or “I’m not any good at it…YET”.
Grown-ups often tend to focus on praising the outcome or achievement rather than the effort or the process. Praising the idea, the curiosity or the effort encourages your girls to try new things and keeps the creativity flowing.
Having someone to look up to and mirror is important for children – that’s how they learn. And what better role model than yourself? Yes, that’s an open invitation (and a great excuse) to put away your work and start playing!
