You’d Be Surprised How Many Seniors Enjoy Mo’Brickz Activities
Engaging Activities for Your Loved Ones
How it works:
- First, we have a conversation about your loved one. How old they are? What music do they like? What are their likes and dislikes? What challenges are you facing and how can we help?
- We discuss frequency how often did you want to meet? We recommend a minimum of once a week if not twice.
- Someone will have to be in the room with your loved one during our sessions. This person can be a family member or caregiver. They will help to remind your loved one that we are on camera, to hand them pieces, and help them when they get stuck.
- It will always be a session of encouragement, discovery, patience, telling stories, listening to music and fun!
Why do we use LEGO® bricks and products?
The LEGO Group of Companies produces amazing products that are safe, long lasting, and can be cleaned easily. Most important of all, LEGO encourages creativity.
Playing with LEGO forces you to think differently by putting together the pieces. It requires critical thinking and yet attracts you with color and design. The large blocks are great for those who have trouble with arthritis, vision and depth perception. The colors and pieces will draw in your loved ones, while the building and designs keep them entertained. When putting together a puzzle, which works the brain to find the right pieces, there is only one way to build a puzzle. Compare this with only 6-2×4 LEGO bricks where you can make over 915 million combinations. And you can use the same set over and over again, to build something completely different. There is no right or wrong when it comes to LEGO. No pressure. You and your loved ones simply put pieces together and become pleasantly surprised when a new connection is made.
The joy of building something out of a few pieces brings delight to everyone, but especially to someone who may be forgetting how to do simple tasks. Playing with LEGO is not threatening, there is no competition, there is only fun. It is the perfect medium to use with your loved one. The only challenge with LEGO both with young and old is encouragement. Someone to be there, to encourage you to try something new. That is where we come in. Our team of LEGO instructors are here to provide you and your loved ones with inspiration, reassurance and praise! Contact us today.

Happy Clients
Patty and Mo'Brickz offer a wonderful opportunity for everyone both young and old to be creative and have fun with Lego building. We have had Mo'Brickz visit our senior community and work with our residents on numerous occasions. We all really enjoy each and every time we get together and look forward to all of the possibilities we can imagine to create with Legos. Thanks Patty and Mo'Brickz!
Very interactive facilitators with children and adults. Lots of variety of legos to stimulate their imagination.
My son Hudson loves your class and he speaks very enthusiastically about it to us at home. Thank you from my husband and me for investing your valuable time in our son and for all you do for these little ones 🙂
Patty Sherin led an after-school Intro to LEGO® class and came well prepared with her LEGO® kits, free play LEGO® bricks and lesson plans. She creates a safe environment for students to explore and develop their creativity. She was compassionate, reliable and encouraging. It is evident that Patty has a love for helping students cultivate their imagination and the feedback from the students has been fantastic. This has been a very popular class and we will be offering it again.
My son had taken LEGO classes from Patty for several years now. The class is fantastic! Patty is fantastic! It's challenging enough, yet always fun! My son comes home from every class eager to tell me about what he built in class. Thank you Patty for being so great with the kids!
Patty is one of the most energetic, enthusiastic people I have met. Just being around her will energize you and make you feel better. Add LEGOs, and you are certain to re-experience the joy and awe you knew as a child. Remember when every picture you drew was worthy of a spot on the refrigerator? Remember when you believed you could be or do anything you wanted? Well, that's only lost to us if we accept it. Take a step toward re-energizing your life, take the chance of playing. I guarantee you will be pleased!
