Problem: Develop a new in-store experience that encourages and fosters children's creativity and imaginations by breaking rules and coloring outside the lines.
Insight: A child allowed to create is an opportunity to grow and nurture natural talent.
Solution: The Lego Playbox. In-store technology that transforms a child’s creativity into a Lego kit.
