M-LEGO is a musical toy designed for children aged 6-8, which aims to form the children’s personality and character through their sensitivity to music in this critical period. Through the rich rhythm and rhythmic melody design, the toy not only allows children to feel the beauty of music, but also improves their aesthetic ability in the process of appreciating music; interactive experience can improve their thinking ability; building blocks can improve their hands-on ability. The emotional design allows children to experience the emotion changes in music while playing, thereby subtly cultivating their emotions and attitudes towards people and things.

It is designed based on the STEAM education concept(an interdisciplinary education composed of the abbreviations of five subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.) and cleverly combines traditional musical instruments with modern building block play, bringing children an unprecedented music experience. Through "scenario interactive construction", children can build various music scenes by themselves. Little puppets play in these scenes, and children can feel the charm of music. The sound module built into the building blocks is extracted from traditional musical instruments - reed pipes, pottery xun, pan flutes, moon guitar, etc., and a variety of music can be played with one button switch, which not only promotes traditional culture but also allows children to learn while having fun.

M-LEGO is not only a musical toy, but also a paradise stimulating children’s five senses. Here, children can feel the charm of music through multiple senses such as vision, hearing, and touch. The soft colors of the toys, the rich instrument shapes, and the varied music all bring great fun to children. Moreover, each building block represents a corresponding melody. Just put the building block into the music pool and the sound will play. Children can also combine the building blocks at will, and even record their own or the sounds around them and incorporate them into the music, making music creation more free and interesting.
