LEGO Education® Minifigures Giveaway

 

 

Are you ready for an excellent giveaway?

I'm happy to be partnering with Lego Education® to bring you a set of minifigures that gets a lot of use in our home.

 

Do your children love minifigures?

My little guy loves them so much I decided to design a Create Your Own Minifigure Printable, Minifigures Printables for Girls and Boys, and also a Language Arts with Minifigs download.

Do your children love history?

Both of my children have an affinity for history. We use The Story of the World as our history spine. 

During many lessons my son is building some LEGO creation to go with our chapter. He has also built LEGO Landmarks - as you know the possibilities where LEGO bricks are concerned is very exciting.

Even my sixth grade daughter is enjoying playing with minifigs! (The kids have even started making stop motion videos together with Stop Motion Studio.)

 

 

 

Partnering a Love of Minifigures & History

We recently received the Fairytale and Historic Minifigure set from Lego Education®. 

The set contains elements to build 22 minifigures, and also some great accessories to go with them.

My son, Grant, set them all up for a photo shoot:

 

As you can see, there are historic minifigures like knights and British soldiers, and kings and queens. There are also fairytale minifigures.

*Please note: this set does contain a witch and a wizard. I do not have a problem with these, but am sensitive to the fact that some families may. 

 

I'm pleased to be able to give away one of these sets to a lucky reader (a $49.99 value!). Simply complete the Rafflecopter widget below to enter.  This giveaway will be open until Tuesday, April 30 at midnight!

My 7-year old twin boys love to play with their Legos in their bedroom. They also often bring them down to the kitchen table ;-)

April 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKat

There are lots of lego towers, drum sets, dinosaurs, princesses, and almost anything you can think of built in our house. The kids love legos!

My son plays with his minifigures all of the time. When I had physical therapy a few months ago, he created all of the therapist a look alike mini figure. For Earth Day, he made a recycling center with his minifigures. He also has them fight against his cowboys and Indians and anything else he can come up with.

Fun Giveaway! Thanks!

Wow, would my boys love this! We love Legos in this house.

April 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterDebbie

My son would love this! He makes all kinds of fun scenes with LEGO and minifigures. He mostly has star wars or ninjago stuff so this would be a great addition!

April 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAudrey

My kids just love playing star wars characters!! In the words of my offspring --Legos Are Awesome!!

April 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMeg B.

So many things to play with minifigs - mostly StarWars these days!

My kids both enjoy minifigs, and we have just started using themin our schooling.

My daughter and husband love playing with the Mini Figs together, they will make believe anything! But the biggest player of the Mini Figure action is my two year old son, he LOVES to put them in his bigger cars :)

I would love for my LEGO lovers to have this as an addition to our homeschool studies. Thanks for sharing and the opportunity at a chance to win this.

April 28, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterBridget

my son loves to build unique creations built around minifig accessories, his latest was a soccer game complete with spectators =)

April 28, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterjessica

My son (3 - almost 4) uses Legos to recreate whatever we've done or seen during the day that is exiting to him - after yardwork he comes in and makes a lawnmower, he might recreate a plane he saw, etc! He also thinks he's big stuff because he has them in his "math" station - I use them with pattern matching cards - he loves doing his very own "school"

April 28, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLara Lee

My children LOVE Legos! We use them to act out history stories and literature as we are reading. Not to mention the hours of just making stuff up they do together with them.

April 28, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterModern Mia Gardening

My kids are learning how to make stop motion videos with our mini figs!

April 29, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTammy

My 9 year old daughter loves legoes. She makes up elaborate storylines and plays them out with her 15-year-old sister.

April 29, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterElizabeth

How fun! My son loves Legos!

April 29, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKim

They like to build elaborate "houses" with many various minifigures living inside and doing all kinds of crazy activities.

April 29, 2013 | Unregistered Commentercam

They mix them all up — LOTR, monsters, Spongebob, et. al. — and make new characters. Very few (if any) keep their original combos.

April 29, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterPhil

My daughter can spend hours just telling stories with her mini-figs (and her Lego friends girls). She also likes to switch them around with hair / clothes, etc. to make new looks for them and ask me which one I like best. :)

April 30, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda

My kids love Legos! They create their own characters and story lines often. Sometimes it's recognizable as Star Wars or something like that. :)
