Look around for one constructive thing to do (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lego

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'constructive thing to do' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'look around for one' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'for one' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'lo' enclosing 'eg' is 'LEGO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lego that I've seen before include "Toy construction set" , "Building bricks for children" , "Toy building-bricks" , "Toy with interlocking blocks" , "Child's building bricks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
