Plain old Lego is one of the best STEM toys you can buy for children from pre-schoolers to teens, but now Lego has become even more appealing in the STEM arena by joining the trend of iPad and tablet toys that combine real-world 3D play with online play in an app.

Lego Fusion is available as a number of kits but they all have the same basic idea – design and build your lego creation on the baseplate and then scan it into the app and bring it to life interacting with characters that move around on screen.

This makes a bit more sense if you read the individual descriptions for each set or watch the video but be assured its tonnes of fun for kids of all ages and helps to incorporate several STEM skills into playtime.

The Lego fusion app is compatible with Apple iPhone 4S and higher, iPad 2 and higher, Kindle Fire phone and HDX and various high-end Android devices – make sure to check your device compatibility with the app before you buy.
