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!

We love legos, all ages , boys ans girls in our home love them! they would all be thrilled to win!
Thank you for the opportunity
My boys love the mini figures and I like that they are inexpensive. They like to play the different parts and would love this DVD!
I actually love watching our local supermarket because they often put current Lego sets on Manager's Special to make room for newer sets. I have gotten a few big sets for HALF price.
My kiddo loves the keychains, though they are not that inexpensive for a keychain.
My boys LOVE legos too!!! So I always enjoy your posts about teaching with Legos. Thank you!
Minifigs are great motivators around our house! We like the Brick Bible too.
Second hand Legos are the best! Thrift stores, yard sales and hand me downs.
love minifigures!
We are very new to the LEGO world but Iove the books. Thanks for the information! You have given me lots of great ideas!
We've not yet begun a LEGO adventure in our home. All of your posts are beginning to persuade me toward this, though! Our oldest boy just turned 5. He may just find a LEGO pack in his Easter basket!
My son loves the mini figures. Thanks for the giveaway.
We love the 3 in 1 sets and the smaller Lego Friends (Girly Version) sets for $6 & $10! :)
Great Lego ideas!
My favorite lego is the blue starter box. With imagination, the kids can make almost anything with it.
My son lobes anything Lego. Right now he loves any mini figure.
we saw this video in 3D at a Lego Discovery center that we got to go to last year- my boys LOVED it! Great little film! :)
I love the idea of the Lego journal. I think my son would love to try that and love writing stories about his legos.
I think our favorite inexpensive Lego item has been several of the Lego board games. We buy them in late fall when Lego releases new games before Christmas. That is when stores clearance the old ones. We usually can find them for $5-$11 depending on how big the games are.
We LOVE LEGOs!! My boys especially enjoy the mini figures.
What a great idea!!
My kids are HUGE mini figure fans! I, too, use them for rewards in our schooling. Writing about the mini figure...pure genius! Seriously, my 8 year old dreads writing, but I think he'd enjoy that!
I like the Lego books - my son loves the full color pictures and the stories!
I'm not sure who loves the Mini Lego Figures more...the kids...or ME!
I love the ice cube trays, my kids would adore those!
Love these ideas
we love the little $6 sets from Target or Walmart
