Welcome to the Brick and Builder Studio!
Hamleys Play and DoPlay Build, bring a week-long LEGO® workshop! Every day is a brand new challenge where designing, building, and storytelling leads to one shared creation by Friday. Here, every brick placed, every structure built, and every story told is a step forward in your child's creative collaboration journey.
Every session includes 1 hour of structured LEGO® building with DoPlay Build followed by 1 hour of free play at Hamleys Play, with all activity materials thoughtfully included- because great learning deserves a great celebration!
- Day 1 — Introduction to Building eases children in with foundational building techniques and a warm-up challenge to get those creative gears turning, before their first individual build.
- Day 2 — Individual Build gives every child a unique prompt and the freedom to respond however their imagination leads! No wrong answers, only ideas.
- Day 3 — Group Build is where the magic multiplies, individual builds come together as children find common threads and merge their creations into a shared team model.
- Day 4 — Refine & Build On is all about depth- refining, expanding, and storytelling as groups plan their final masterpiece together.refining, expanding, and storytelling as groups plan their final masterpiece together.

What Your Child Will Take Away
This week does more than build structures — it builds thinkers. Creative thinking, spatial reasoning, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and fine motor skills, all woven into five days of hands-on fun.
Meet the Educator: DoPlay Build
DoPlay Build was founded in 2023 by Pooja Gandhi — an educator, and a Certified LEGO® Serious Play® Facilitator with advanced training in Play in Higher Education from Denmark.
Pooja's journey into purposeful play began close to home — sparked by her son's love for those tiny, colourful bricks. What started as a shared hobby between a mother and child slowly revealed something much bigger: that simple, joyful play could be a doorway to deep learning, creative expression, and confident problem-solving.
