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 kids love making up and acting out stories with their minfigs!

My kids absolutely love legos. They love to build, but I think minifigures are their favorite. My son was so thrilled when we were reading about Greek mythology and he realized he had two of the characters among his legos--Hercules and the Minotaur.

My middle son loves playing with the Hobbit minifigures. My oldest likes the aliens and my youngest likes Chima.

Both of my children love to make up all kinds of stories. My son particularly likes to make pirate stories.

We're also doing Story of the World and my son loves making castles and recreating famous battle scenes. He would be so over the top excited if he received this. Thank you for such a great opportunity!

My children love to play with Legos and their minifigures. They are usually pretending they are going on some sort of adventure, climbing a tree house or driving in a car/spaceship. Their imaginations are endless.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKristie G.

My kids and I would have so much fun with this! We are gearing up to start Story of the World and the mini figures would be awesome!

He says, "because they are fun to play and add certain stuff together. And also to make LEGO battles, you need LEGO minifigures to fight each other." ;)

My kids are always putting their mini figures in different scenes . My youngest, a girl, uses them to drive in her play cars. My two oldest, boys, paint then and make up new character traits for them.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterNetty

My older son loves his mini-figs and uses them for all kinds of play. My younger son does not feel compelled to keep them in their original conditions -- he loves to mix hands and feet and torsos and heads . . . if it comes off, it gets used. We have all sorts of cool unique characters.

April 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterChristine

What a great giveaway! Crossing my fingers I win! :)
