The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of educational logo on increasing the creativity of preschool children. The statistical population of this study included all children aged 5 to 6 years old who were present in one of the preschool centers of Fooladshahr in the 99-98 academic year. The sample size in this study was 30 people (15 people in the experimental group, 15 people in the control group). Sampling method in this study was voluntary and replacement in experimental and control groups was done randomly. Torrance pictorial test was used to measure creativity in the pre-test-post-test. This pictorial test had four components (initiative, expansion, fluidity and flexibility) that the reliability coefficient of each component was 0.89, 0.82 / 0.82 and 0.82 total test reliability, respectively. The Lego training course was conducted in 6 sessions. Analysis of covariance was used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that Lego education has a positive and significant effect on children's creativity, which includes the components of initiative, thinking development, thinking fluidity and thinking flexibility.
