Dear Humans,

My daughter put together a lot of LEGO sets over the break. And while she was putting together a garbage truck, she pointed to one piece and said, “It’s a roller skate.” And then she used it as a door handle.

Because LEGO uses the same pieces for many different things and many different sets. I looked up the piece on the internet (because each LEGO piece has a specific number) and it’s used in over 170 sets, and as a roller skate in only a few of them.

When we break things down into their parts, we understand the whole a little bit better. But we also see that those parts can be used to create as many different things as we can imagine.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
