Lego Star Wars Announce New Releases
New Fun & Educational Toys From Lego Give Parents a Boost For Xmas
Sep 15, 2009
The announcement of a range of new Lego Star Wars toys may well make choosing Christmas gifts a lot easier for many parents. This is one of the company's flagship ranges and kids all over the world eagerly look forward to new models. These will become the "must have" Christmas present for a lot of kids.
Lego is one of the few toys that appeals to children of all ages and it also one that many will play with consistently for years as they grow. Many parents are more than happy to buy this for their kids as it gives them so much fun play. One big benefit that many don't realise, however, is how useful this can also be from an educational and developmental perspective.
The Benefits of Playing With Lego
Although kids may view their Lego sets as simply being fun there is a lot of other stuff going on behind the scenes. Playing with this kind of toy can have specific educational and developmental benefits that can stand them in good stead in later life. For example, it can help them:
- Develop their fine motor skills and spatial awareness.
- Develop their awareness of colour, shape and size.
- Learn how to follow kit instructions to make something specific.
- Help their self-esteem when they create something.
- Teach them patience and problem solving skills.
- Allow them to creatively build their own designs.
- Develop their imaginative and role-playing skills.
- Learn how to work with others and to share if they play with Lego with other children.
Kids can start benefiting from Lego from an early age with ranges such as Duplo. They can then move on to more advanced ranges later if they wish. The Lego Star Wars range is one of the most popular options here. So, what are the new releases?
New Releases From Lego Star Wars
The company has announced the pre-Christmas release of a range of new themed products. These range from larger kits through to small pocket money accessories.
- Clone Wars: This range sees the release of a variety of new sets including a Corporate Alliance Tank Droid, Count Dooku's Solar Sailer, a Separatist Shuttle and Anakins' Y-wing Starfighter.
- Star Wars Classic: New options here include an Echo Base and The Battle of Endor set.
- Accessories: There are a variety of new releases here. These include watches, key chains, t-shirts and character magnet sets.
Given the popularity of new Lego Star Wars merchandise these ranges could well become hard to find before Christmas. Parents looking for this kind of gift for their children may well find it easier to order early to make sure that they can get hold of the new releases in time.
Bear in mind that shopping online and comparing prices could help cut costs here, especially for the larger new releases. Looking at online voucher and discount sites may also help save some extra cash.
