LEGO Deals that Don't Break the Bank - Plus a Clutch Powers Giveaway
Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 7:35AM
Today I'd like to share some fun LEGO products for your kids that don't break the bank.
I will also be giving away the LEGO resource that has gotten the most face time in our house since January.
I like to keep a stash of LEGO things on hand for rewards, birthday presents for friends, Easter baskets, or simply just to say I love you.
I also use minifigures for writing activities, LEGO reader books, and many other LEGO products in our homeschool.
Here are some LEGO products we love that don't break the bank!
Books
My son loves the LEGO reader books. There are all kinds and all levels. Now he's reading the Ninjago chapter books (over and over again). They are fairly inexpensive, too.
Minifigures
These are great to keep on hand for rewards.
Do your kids obsess about the different series of minifigs?
I will often purchase a minifigure, give it to my son, and then ask him to write me a story in his LEGO journal about that minifig!
Writing/Creativity
My LEGO lover also loves to write! We picked up a Ninjago journal on sale at the bookstore several months ago and it is FILLED with stories. I think he was simply inspired to fill up a cool LEGO notebook.
There are tons of fun pencils, cases, notebooks, folders, and journals out there that can inspire your LEGO afficionado!
Fun Sets Under $15
The small Creator sets are great!
I have used these in stockings, Easter baskets, car rides, and plane flights.
The great thing is that most of them are 3 in 1 sets - you can build three things from just the one set.
These also make great birthday presents. We give a minifigure and a small Creator set, which makes for a nice little gift!
For the Kitchen
Surprise your child with some of these fun items and watch how much fun they will have creating.
We've made soap, chocolates, candy, and so much more. This is great stuff to have if you are having a LEGO birthday, or really just trying to be a fun mom!
Movies and Video Games
The Adventures of Clutch Powers was totally new to Grant just a few months ago. A friend loaned it to him for a long car trip and he watched it the entire time. This is a great little movie. Better still, it's just $7.
There are also other movies and Wii games for your LEGO lover.
Since we love The Adventures of Cluth Powers so much, I would like to give away a copy of the movie to one lucky reader. Complete the entries in Rafflecopter to win!

Great journal idea! We love the minifigures and small minifig/vehicle sets.
My son has never seen this series, he would love the movie.
The 3 in 1 creator sets!
I've been looking into LEGO sets for my kids! Thanks for the chance to win!
A cool LEGO notebook could mean all the difference in the world to a reluctant writer! Great Ideas! Thanks!
I really like the idea of writing a story about a mini figure. Smart:)
my boys love legos too! we are so into ninjago that i too need to use it to motivate writing.
My boys love legos. We get them the small creator sets. I don't know how many are left that we don't have.
Great ideas. We love legos.
My son LOVES the little mini-figure "surprise" packs. He will spend at least 30 minutes feeling it trying to guess what's inside b/4 he opens it.
Thank you for so many great Lego ideas. I will definitely be picking up some minifigures packs for creative writing.
Great ideas! I love the minifigure idea! -going to use that one today :)
We love the mini-figure packs! We have not seen the Clutch Powers movie, thanks so much for the chance!
I like the mini creator kits. I have never seen the individual mini figures. I will have to look for those.

We love the little Mimi packs that you find near the check out at Target. It makes a great little surprise for about $5!
My son who is 14 loves everything lego. He is crazy about legos. He wants me to turn one of his walls into lego boards wall so he can build verticley. He has never been great at reading but loves his lego book. This would make a fabulous addition.
We love The little Sets From WalmFor That Are $5, for Our School Store
We have birthday season going on in our house right now!
My five year old loves legos. I really appreciate that he likes looking through the magazines and then building his own "sets" from the pieces that he has. The small 3-in-1 sets are great for doing a lot with a little.
We love the Lego books. I can usually find them at Walmart for under $5.
WE JUST BOUGHT BRICK BIBLES FOR MY 11 YEAR OLD, AND THEY ARE PRETTY NEAT! WILL TEST HIS SKILLS AND SEE IF HE FINDS ANY INACCURACIES.
I like the idea build books as well.
Like the little packs at Target
We often get the little sets that they put out for the holidays at each holiday. Just a little bit of Lego can brighten a day :-)
My son loves Clutch! We'd love to win. :)
