Lego live streaming sessions teach kids how to build wonderful creations during lockdown

Lego is running live streaming sessions to encourage kids to get creative during lockdown.

Master builder James Windle, who works at Manchester's Legoland Discovery Centre, is running regular classes for children, teaching them how to build with the iconic bricks.

Parents will no doubt welcome the news, as they balance homeschooling, working from home and keeping the little ones entertained.

Each session lasts about 10 minutes and viewers are encouraged to share their own builds, with James awarding prizes for the best creations.

The Legoland Discovery Centre is joining the likes of fitness guru Joe Wicks, who is running daily, virtual PE lessons for children.

Windle will next be going live on the official Legoland Discovery Centre's Facebook page today at 15:00 BST and again on Thursday, April 9 - but there doesn't seem to be a fixed schedule.

These Build at Home streams are here to offer a creative outlet for kids and help encourage Lego fans to build a host of things from a favourite food, to this week working around themes like 'Heroes', which will focus on the NHS.

If you're looking for the perfect creative outlet for your kids, this will be a wonderful way to keep them engaged while we're all locked indoors.

You can follow Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester on Facebook to see the latest live sessions., make sure you watch along.
