When a long-awaited baby appears in the family, unreasonable parental anxiety comes to the house along with happiness, pleasant chores and joy, regarding the desire to give their child the best, and a huge amount of financial costs. Money is needed for absolutely everything: food, personal hygiene products and, of course, toys. Without them, the child may well develop, but with them the process of cognition becomes bright, colorful and extremely exciting. Modern parents do not experience problems with the choice of educational toys and thematic educational books, there are a great many of them absolutely for different tastes and budgets.
The best constructor in the world
Among the huge variety of all sorts of things, the designer has always been and probably will remain one of the best games for the development of visual perception for a long time, fine motor skills, developing perseverance and attentiveness. There is a huge assortment on the market, but many parents prefer Lego brand designers. Despite its high cost, it pays for itself over time, because it is extremely strong. In connection with the general love for Lego brand products, entire parks, simply called Legoland, are opening in large cities of our country. with St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk and Novosibirsk, also boasts such Lego-cities, which will be interesting not only for children, but also for their parents.

The designer "Lego" invented, invented and patented a Dane. He also founded a company that later began to manufacture and produce bricks so famous all over the world. It is worth noting that at first the designer was largely different from what we see and buy now. The blocks were made of wood, and with the advent of plastic in the modern industry, Lego was modernized into the usual light plastic bricks. It is worth saying that Denmark also became the first country where Legoland appeared.
In Moscow, something similar was first built almost 50 years after the discoverers. However, those who did it realized that for children there is nothing more interesting than a whole city made of their favorite constructor. The flow of interested and fond of "Lego" can be described as endless. Adults forget about their age, being within the walls of the constructed park.
The capital is not far behind
The first "Legoland" in Moscow, or rather, its smaller copy, is presented in the central "Children's World" on the capital's Lubyanka Street. There, on the territory of a huge toy store, a sufficient area has been allocated, on which the Lego town is located. Everything that appears before the eyes of the one who entered there is made of building blocks. Huge machines, animals taller than human height, cities of the future with flying machines that are set in motion by pressing a special button designed for this. "Legoland" in Moscow on Lubyanka boasts a reduced copy of Red Square, assembled from the Lego constructor. There is even a train there, similar to the well-known Sapsan, which is again activated by pressing a button.
From small to large
"Legoland" is not only a park of constructed figures, houses, cars, people, etc., but also offers its visitors the Lego constructor itself, lying in special tanks designed for this purpose. Anyone, regardless of age, can come up with and build something special out of it. Moreover, each visitor has the right to leave his craft in a place specially designated for this. By the way, even kids can start collecting their first masterpieces here, or at least just try to connect two parts together, because among the variety of parts there are so-called "mega blocks". These are quite large bricks of the designer, which even a six-month-old child can handle.
Profitable offer
The first "Legoland" in Moscow, the address of which was mentioned above (the central store "Children's World" on Lubyanka) is far from the only institution of its kind). If at the beginning of 2011 the Moscow authorities only intended to build real Legolands in the most densely populated areas of Moscow, then the owners of large shopping centers and children's stores have already managed to realize this, albeit not on a huge scale. It does not change the essence of the matter at all. In them, as in the real Lego city in Denmark and Germany, there is something to see and something to be surprised at.
By the way, Legoland, which many people are interested in visiting, also offers a service called "Shopping without children." That is, parents can leave their kids in the city of the designer, and there they will be looked after by experienced qualified nannies. At this time, adults, not being afraid to lose a child in a huge hypermarket, will make the necessary purchases, and their children will not even notice how time flies while playing. The cost of the service is from 300 to 1000 rubles.
Is there more?
Those who are interested in whether there is another Legoland in Moscow (besides the fact that it is located in the central Children's World) should say that there is, and not even one. I would like to make a reservation right away that the Russian model is unlikely to be able to compete with the real Lego city of Denmark, but it is quite realistic to consider it as a worthy park from the designer. Moreover, so far in our country they have not allocated a place for a huge Lego city. We offer a list where you can enjoy the colors of different-sized bricks and see interesting large-scale crafts from your favorite designer:
- SEC "Riviera", located on Avtozavodskaya street at 18.
- SEC "Novomoskovsky", Khabarova street, house 2.
- Entertainment center "Krug" on the street Starokachalovsky, 5A.
It is worth coming there with the whole family, because the time spent with the family is priceless.
For decades, Lego games have been popular with children of all ages. Almost every family with a child has several sets of this constructor. After all, this is not just a toy, but a whole fairy-tale world that allows you to create your own cities, buildings, structures and machines from small blocks and parts. different sizes. It is very interesting for a child to fantasize how to make a Lego city, a farm or a police station. But sometimes simple observation and ingenuity will not be enough. It is important not only to have detailed instructions, but also gain experience in the construction of this constructor.
History of Lego
The history of the appearance of Lego begins in 1932, when at that time the little-known carpenter and carpenter Ole Christiansen, together with his twelve-year-old son, started producing ironing boards, ladders and wooden toys. But it was toys that began to be in good demand, so two years later the company specialized only in the production of goods for children. For the entire children's world, this moment was a turning point. In 1947, Christiansen became the first manufacturer of plastic toys, and two years later, the first building parts and elements appeared, which became the progenitors of the Lego constructor. However, 1955 is considered the year of the appearance of the famous toy, when the first building kits were released.
The very name "lego" came from two words - "leg" and "godt", which in translation from Danish means "I play well." In Latin, Lego means "I am learning".
Development of the company
The first kits included plastic parts of different sizes, which were connected to each other using pins. Interestingly, since 1958, Lego parts have almost completely corresponded to the modern designer and can be used in construction along with any series. The idea of the company and the production technology of the constructor have not lost their relevance at the present time. The most important thing for the company is the high quality of products. The quality of the plastic meets high standards and is under strict control at all stages of the production of the designer, thanks to which Lego products are appreciated and loved by buyers from all over the world.
How to make a lego city
In 1968, a whole toy city was built from Lego parts. Since then in different countries Lego festivals and competitions are constantly held. For the convenience of buyers, each designer has assembly instructions, and in recent years, many different author's manuals have appeared that describe in detail how to make various structures and mechanisms from Lego with your own hands.
Currently, the assortment of designers is very wide, in stores you can even find various additions: figurines of animals, people, trees, vehicles, and so on. In addition, you can purchase sets of various themes, for example, dedicated to pirates, wizards, movie characters. But Lego City is the most popular among children.
It is better to collect your city on a flat and smooth surface: on the floor or on a table. While working, try not to mix up the parts used for different elements. Parts should be fastened to each other neatly and tightly so that they do not fall apart.
Instruction:
Draw on sheet rough plan the future city of Lego, designate its central part, residential area, park area, roads. It doesn't have to be an ordinary city. Perhaps your child would like to create fairytale castle or an alien metropolis.
Pick up the parts that you will use to create a particular structure. You can use all the sets you have, as they are ideally combined with each other. To help your child, you can print simple instructions: how to make a Lego helicopter, a car, a farm and other buildings. The use of a schematic instruction is useful for developing the child's thinking and attention.
At the base of each block or building, a large rectangular piece should be placed; blocks can be connected by bridges, passages and railroad tracks. Complete your landscape with trees, ponds, flower alleys, cars, people and other figures. Assign roles and play with the whole family!
What else to do with Lego?
Surprisingly, the plastic constructor can be used to create various interesting things. For example, Lego can be used to make ice molds, fridge magnets, candle holders, even soap molds or a flower vase. As well as a decorative wreath for Christmas, Christmas decorations, a convenient key holder, a night light, jewelry. Fantasy has no limits!
LEGO sets have gained popularity due to their quality and variety. LEGO has offerings for all ages: for the little ones - LEGO Duplo, and for older children - the Friends, Ninjago, City, Star Wars, Nexo Knights, Harry Potter series and many others.
The classic Lego city set (or the LEGO City series) is designed for children over 6 years old and includes the following sets: trains, arctic expedition, town, mountain police, cars, jungle explorers, coast guard, police, fire brigade. If you buy the entire collection, you will have to purchase 65 LEGO sets - a fortune!
How to make your lego city
In order not to spend so much money, you can turn on your imagination and use the sets that the child already has to build a Lego city, combining them into one city, even if they are not included in the standard LEGO City set. Almost every LEGO set has characters that are suitable as residents of a Lego city. If these are elves, Harry Potter or Darth Vader, then it is even more interesting for the child, he will not have a simple city, but a fabulous one.
All LEGO sets have unusual small details that will complement the houses of the inhabitants of the city. 
You can find tea sets with cups and plates and even croissants, Cell phones and laptops, a globe, a spyglass, books and a lot of things.
Almost every Lego set has large parts from which buildings can be built, as well as vehicles, animals, and furniture.
By connecting fantasy and ingenuity, you can assemble an excellent Lego city.
What to do if there is no LEGO at all
If there is no LEGO or there are too few parts, then you can go to the official Lego website, see what sets are available, get inspired by ideas and assemble your own unique and inimitable Lego city from improvised materials, toys and various other designers.
In stores, you can find several brands of designers that are considered analogues of Lego, but their price is more affordable. For example, Sluban (made in China) or Brick (made in Shanghai). Both brands are compatible with LEGO sets, that is, they can be used to build one object, all parts will be well attached to each other.
Any missing figures and objects can be molded from plasticine or glued with super glue from available materials.
There are many different characters and figurines in kinder surprises that are given to children with or without reason. The boys, for sure, will have small cars for the Lego city, and the girls will have different beads, beads, feathers, sequins with which you can decorate characters, rooms in houses, make fictional food for the inhabitants of the Lego city.
Series lego city
Series lego city is one of the oldest in the line of Lego sets. From year to year it evolves and continues to delight children around the world. With the help of Lego City construction kits, your child will be able to build their own city with all the infrastructure: there is the police, the fire department, the forest police, the construction services, the aviation, and the explorers of the deep sea, and now their own spaceport. In a word, whatever your heart desires.
The theme of the police is presented in Lego City sets very widely: here is a large mobile command post of the Lego City Police Department, hidden in a trailer with an opening case, a police car for transporting criminals and a whole series dedicated to Lego City forest police officers who chase criminals in the forests and in the swamp. City Coast Guard officers perform police duties on the water, and police helicopters are always circling in the sky. And, of course, just a huge Lego City Police Station with a prison, a helipad, a garage and a lot of rooms.
Brave firefighters rush to the challenge in their cars. A fire truck will take them from the fire station to an old house with a roof on fire in a matter of minutes. A little more time and the fire is extinguished. The fire brigade goes on a well-deserved rest.
Sets of the Lego City constructor will also tell about the work of the city's peaceful workers - the builders of Lego City. Various heavy equipment is widely represented here: excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks and wall-breaking machines.
The big and beautiful constructor Lego City The railroad is the dream of any boy. With it, your Lego City city will come to life: freight trains will be pulled from the mines, factories will ship finished products, a high-speed passenger train will be launched between the suburbs and the central part of Lego City City with several stops in the most picturesque places. A futuristic tram will run on the central square - the Lego company approached the solution of the transport problem very carefully.
But while life goes on in Lego City, scientists can't stop dreaming about conquering two elements: water and air. And now, a cosmodrome has been built in the suburbs of Lego City, the astronauts are completing their training, the upper layers of the atmosphere have already been explored, and everything is ready for going into deep space. Space-themed construction kits can also put satellites into orbit and provide Lego City city services with stable communications.
But, they were ahead of them, at first, all the glory will go to scientists from the Lego City Institute of Oceanology. Equipped with the latest technology, fearless divers were able to discover a sunken ship with a cargo of gold. And now divers and bathyscaphes are constantly working around it, and hungry sharks and curious octopuses are circling around. The Lego City sets of explorers of the depths necessarily include representatives of the fauna of the ocean floor.
Of course, the inhabitants of Lego City love sports. The range of the city constructor includes motorcyclists, pilots of racing boats and motorcycles, surfers and other lovers of extreme sports and speed.
This is how we see the life of an ordinary city built from Lego. You can purchase these and many other sets of Lego City series constructors in our online store.
Hello. We received a gift from Parents' Mark - a certificate for two hours in the Legorod network of playrooms [link] . Went there with my 5 year old daughter who is crazy about Lego, especially the Friends series. Here are our impressions.
We were met with a very friendly welcome. The girl kindly offered us one hour to play in this room (SEC Magapolis, m. Technopark)
And the second hour to visit the second room (SEC Riviera, Avtozavodskaya metro station).
To get a complete picture of the game rooms - we agreed, especially since they are slightly different.
The room was not large in size. There are large assembled sets on the tables that you can play with. Separately, there are parts in plastic boxes from which you can create something new.
Lego sets are not for kids (there is no hollow), there are series that small details. Therefore, the age of children is somewhere from 4 years.
Immediately, a sticker is glued to the back of the child with the name of the child, the time until which the child can play and the parent's phone number. Parents can safely go for a walk shopping center, shop.
I really liked the girls animators who will not let the child get bored, are fully responsible for the children and, if necessary, call their parents by phone.
The cost of an hour of games in the room is 500 rubles, 2 hours - 800 rubles, 3 hours - 1000 rubles. Each time you visit, a chip is issued, which can then be exchanged for a title or for gifts from Lego. You can also bring unnecessary Lego parts and exchange them for free minutes of games in the rooms. There is a nice carpet on the floor, you can lie down.
The room in the Riviera shopping center is different in that the walls are made of wallpaper for drawing. You can draw or paint anywhere.
Unfortunately, there was no Friends series, so much loved by all the girls. A big request to fix this. But, my daughter was not upset, she played wonderfully with a large steam locomotive with a control panel.
