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!

We are very excited about this GREAT giveaway!!! We started using your Language Arts and Mini Figs yesterday and we love it!! You have inspired me to take Drew's love for Legos to a whole other level. He loved watching Grant's videos and his wheels are turning about how he can make some of those things too. I really want to get him some of the Lego Education Sets. I never realized all the possibilities Lego has to offer. Thank You so much!!!

My guy loves to build race cars and have our minifigs be the drivers!

My oldest collects mini figures and displays them in those cool LEGO cases.
My second child makes stop motion videos with his mini figs.
My third likes to take them apart and rearrange them.
We all desperately try to keep the mini figs from my fourth because he just wants to chew them!

I'm always amazed at what my boys come up with when playing with minifigures. They inspire so much creativity. I can't imagine what they would do with a cast like this set!

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterStacy

My son loves Lego's. They are the only toy he plays with. He likes to take the minifigures and reassemble them and then use them to make new creations.

My kids love to build houses for their lego people.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJulie

My little one's love LEGOs!

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAngie

My eldest son likes to build houses for his mini figures and they usually get stuck in some sort of "unbreakable rock". His very favorites usually end up traveling around with us wherever we go and surprisingly, we haven't forgotten any yet!

My guy loves playing with characters and animals.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterp0p21cl3

My child does all sorts of things with her minifigs...she has the Friends, Marvel Heroes and others from the small packs we pick up from Target. Some days they are who they were designed to be and other times they're an army storming Athens or a church congregation being exhorted, lol. We love legos!!!!!

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterChristina Hirst

My kids would love this! Thanks for the giveaway!

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterCandace

My daughter loves to play "school" with her mini figures. I love the idea of using them with The Story of the World; we just start reading it.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterCindyl

My six year old boy loves legos. I have a feeling he would listen to anything more if it had the word lego in it.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLeiloni

Yes, they love Lego mini-figures. Every time I take my boys to the stores that carry them they want to go check and see if there is a new collection :)

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterRebecca

My son builds all kinds of things with his legos. Lately it's been Star Wars vehicles and scenes. But he builds some really cool cars and planes too. :)

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAubrey

I have 6 kids ages 5-8 and Lego is a huge favorite in our house! Always creating and spending their money on new sets and guys. We would love to win this giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity.

What a wonderful giveaway!

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLynne

AWESOME!

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKimberly

Right now my son mostly pretends to play "The Hobbit" with his minifigures... but sometimes it's superheroes:)

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSofia

We love Legos here! They get hours of use daily. My son eats, sleeps, and breathes Legos. :)

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterkam

My kids love all aspects of learning with legos... We are currently doing the 10 week lego unit. Really hoping we win, but just in case... they have all added legos to their birthday, and Christmas list.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJamie Allen

My boys love these!

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterEmily Romero

My son would just love this, we have been using LEGO for play and learning since his first year!

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterHeather

My oldest son loves to create new worlds with his Legos and mini figurines, and then have a battle to see who conquers it. These would be such a wonderful addition to both our Lego collection, and our homeschool classroom.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterWhitney

My son uses Lego figures in most of is play. He also takes them everywhere!
