Why do Legos say 4/99?
LEGO says ages 4–99 on the box, and it’s not a joke. It’s a reminder that LEGO isn’t just a toy—it’s a creative system. At 4, you’re learning how pieces fit together. At 14, you’re building sets exactly as designed. There are Duplo for younger folks and Technic for older folks. Autistic people who have friends outside their peer range, can use Lego building as a way to bridge generations. Lego offers a bridge into fields like computer programming, which appeal to many Autistics, because of the independent nature of the work.LEGOS and building blocks are hands-on toys that are simple to use and have only a few pieces so children can create a single structure in a relatively short period of time, which may help build their confidence.LEGOS and building blocks are hands-on toys that are simple to use and have only a few pieces so children can create a single structure in a relatively short period of time, which may help build their confidence.
