Game sets-constructors of the Danish company "Lego" invariably attract the attention of children, especially boys. The fact that they cost a lot is explained by the high quality of the products of this European manufacturer. But the kids do not need to understand this, for them the main thing is that the toy is interesting. And here it’s hard to object to a son or daughter: messing around with assembling and disassembling, changing shapes and “revitalizing” characters is not only an exciting, but also useful activity. So parents, sometimes tightening their belts, collect money for a new Lego constructor - a pirate ship or another interesting toy.

Depending on the inclinations of the child and his age, there is always a suitable series, the imagination of the company's developers is truly limitless. In itself, the idea of a brick with round protrusions entering the corresponding grooves is simple, and there seem to be many competitors offering a similar product. But play sets are so diverse, and Lego marketers are so quick to respond to changing market conditions, that they easily leave behind all others.manufacturers. The series "City", "Chima", "Space Wars", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and many others immerse the child in a fantasy world bordering on reality. In some of them, the characters are fictional creatures, in others - movie characters, in others - ordinary people.

A pirate ship made of bricks looks, of course, a toy, but all its parts carry a functional load. The sailing ship has impressive dimensions, cannon armament, rigging, sails, a Jolly Roger pennant and a crew, each of its members being individual. What are corsairs without weapons and treasures? There is both. The captain, the daughter of the admiral, the monkey and, of course, the marine life, the mermaid and the shark - all these characters make it possible to play dramatic performances that cannot be called a simple game. And the scene will be a pirate ship sailing through tropical waters somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.

Each set also contains opponents - soldiers dressed, as they should be, in bright uniforms.

You can play with a friend: one for the corsairs, the other for the authorities. The choice depends on sympathy, because each side is right in its own way.

The pirate ship is equipped with everything necessary for a long and dangerous voyage. The captain has a spyglass in his hand, cannons fire cannonballs, a shark net and many other details that are essential during an ocean raid.

Opponents are not inferior to them -the admiral and his garrison are well equipped and armed. The strength of the Lego play sets is their full compatibility with other series, therefore, in addition to assembling according to the instructions, the child can show his own imagination and creative inclinations. The pirate ship can be made more complex, enlarged, and its combat and navigational qualities are greatly improved by parts borrowed from other series, if any.

During assembly and play, the child develops important personal qualities that will be useful at school, and in adult life too - accuracy, patience, as well as various types of thinking. Practice shows that those students who were fond of assembling construction sets in childhood do not experience difficulties in studying engineering graphics and descriptive geometry.

A pirate ship is a toy for a fairly wide age range, from six to twelve years old, so we can safely say that, despite the rather high price, its purchase saves money, unlike cheap toys that have to be updated often.
