Let’s put Australia in Play Mode!

Thank you for joining us this World Play Day! At 4pm in After School Care, over 17,000 children across Australia hit pause and pressed play, unleashing their imaginations with LEGO® bricks and craft materials to build a world of fun.

This year’s challenge was all about reimagining the world! Children transformed iconic landmarks using LEGO bricks and craft supplies, making each creation bold, fun and entirely their own. Once complete, their masterpieces came together as part of a massive collaborative display, a vibrant mini-city built entirely from imagination.

It was a wonderful celebration of creativity, teamwork and the pure joy of play.

Why LEGO bricks might be the building blocks of wellbeing

Play allows children to express themselves in a way that doesn’t require words; many children and adults struggle to put emotions and feelings into words, so creative play is a wonderful way to combat this. It can help to build self-confidence, relieve stress, and even nurture empathy. And yes, it can include dragons, castles, rainbows, and rocket-powered flamingos made from LEGO bricks!
