How do I teach my son to find his own Lego pieces?

[MotherFeeder]

I have one child. He is 6years old.

He loves Lego and starts building before school and as soon as he gets home. The trouble is he won't look for the pieces and is constantly calling me to help him find the next piece.

I've sorted his Lego into colours to make it easier.

Ive tried ignoring his yells and keep telling him to look for the piece himself with no luck.

It's sheer laziness on his side and easier to yell for me than look, but wonder if someone who is a better parent than I has a tip of how to encourage him to find the pieces himself?

Make it a game you play, start off looking for a big easy piece, let him win a few times, praise his ‘eagle eyes’ and amazing lego detective skills.

Say "I'll just be a minute, you start looking" Then be a bit slow whilst giving him instructions on how to look. Gradually you get "worse" at looking whilst he gets better until he doesn't call you any more.

Yes Pinky it is actually a thread. My technics are not working and I'm trying to better myself and my mum abilities by asking other mums what works for them.

Thanks to everyone else for great suggestions. There are lots of brilliant ideas for me to try with him. I definitely think turning it into a game of who can find the piece first might work as he loves to win.
