Methodical recommendations for future masters of preschool education on the formation of engineering skills in preschool children are given. The essence of engineering thinking is determined as well as the ways of its formation and development in preschool children in the process of relevant activities. LEGO-design and other types of technical creativity are highlighted. The algorithm of formation of engineering skills in children is singled out, which, according to the author, is carried out in stages: "I am a researcher", "I am a designer", "I am a specialist", "I am an artist".
