This study examined the effects of “Six Bricks (LEGO® Duplo)” play-based technique on preschoolers’ early mathematics and visual perception skills. The study group consisted of children attending public kindergartens affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the Meram district of Konya during the 2024–2025 academic year. A quasi-experimental design with experimental and control groups was employed. Data collection tools were “General Information Form,” the “Test of Early Mathematics Ability–3 (TEMA–3),” and the “Frostig Visual Perception Test.” 50 play-based “Six Bricks Duplo Block” activities was implemented with the experimental group over a 10-week period, while the control group continued with the current program. The posttest findings indicated a statistically significant improvement in favor of the experimental group on both measures. The results showed the effectiveness of integrating play-based approaches such as the “Six Bricks Duplo Block” into preschool curricula as a means of fostering early cognitive development.
