Children let their imaginatio­ns run wild

-

THE boys and girls of Bray have been putting their creative talents to work during the summer, with a Lego playgroup at Ballywaltr­im Community Centre.

Amid global concerns that children are spending too much time staring at screens, there’s always Lego, still capturing imaginatio­ns after more than 80 years.

The group is drawing to a close shortly, with a return to school for its members just around the corner.

Local woman Ciara Kenny has facilitate­d the Lego club each Monday, Thursday and Friday morning over July and August, from 10 a.m. to 12 midday.

There are a few dates left, so anyone who wishes to participat­e can contact Ciara on 087 0961312.

The children have enjoyed playing with the bricks immensely. They use their imaginatio­ns, play together, and put their motor skills to good work by building their own projects.

The group also gave families a way to entertain their children during the summer months, without reaching for the iPad or games console.
