The study aims to find out what function Lego has in preschool, from a gender perspective, when it comes to children's construction, accessibility and education related to technology. The result shows that Lego has a purpose in pre-school when it comes to construction and play but also to give the children opportunity to a calm activity. The study has been conducted through interviews with three preschool teachers at various preschools in two different communities. The result shows that Lego didn´t have a place in the planed activity’s in preschool but a lot of time and opportunity in the free play. The study shows that technology in preschool is something that the preschool teachers want to work more with. They think they use technical concepts and are aware of what building and constructing things gives the children. I can also see an awareness of the choices that preschools have when it comes to gender and buying Lego and that they mixed all different kind of Lego and how it is presented to the kids. Keywords: gender, Lego, preschool, technology
