Near everyone had mentioned that I was doing something that they wished they had a chance to do when they were young, and that got me thinking quite a bit – that if given the opportunity, I’d wish everyone had a chance to “play” with the LEGO-bricks, for both the recovering patients (like myself) and others more healthy in body. The chance to “play”, at whatever age group one is in, is an important part of “life” folks tend to give up in adulthood (and I do not mean folks who already “collect toys” in the first place ;p).
For folks like myself, the act requires eye and hand co-ordination (there is a guidebook showing steps all thru the way) along with the visual recognition of the pieces. Believe you me, what you take for granted – stacking colored plastic blocks on each other may not be as easy a task for folks with impaired physical abilities. Regular “play”, is in some cases, yet another physical task that needs to be conquered as well. (via TOYSREVIL: Playing With LEGO (A Stroke-Recoveree’s Point-of-View))
