LEGO Education® Minifigures Giveaway
Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 5:00AM
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 pretend to run their own businesses.
Oh, this would be so awesome! We love Legos, and the minifigures are the best. We play Lord of the Rings, Castles, Desert and Jungle Expeditions, he's made his own replica of Narnia, an "Operation" game...endless possibilities! Thanks for the chance to win. :-)
My son has played with Legos for over 10 years! he now loves to use them to make stop motion videos - and he is only 13! It is awesome to see him combine his "toys" with learning, education and technology!
My boys like to play Star Wars with their Legos and Angry Birds combined :)
My almost 8 year old plays constantly with legos....he loves using his imagination and plans an entire play or event it seems. I just listen without him knowing and there are battles on a ship or plane....he makes cities and villages, planes, boats, buildings. I just love seeing his creativity come out with legos!
What a great set! My kids would have a blast with these.
My children play pretend with their mini figs, acting out all sorts of things from superheroes to cartoons to video games.
My son loves history and Legos. This is a perfect combination! Right now his Lego guys are building and running Gutenberg's press.
My girls love their mini figures, we collect the cmf's. but I love to play with lego too.
My son loves to set up battles between his minifigs - good vs evil.
Our kids love Legos also! We use them to recreate scenes from history and have also used them in health to recreate white blood cells attacking an invading virus:) And of course, there is always the Lego city they are building on their old train table!
This would be awesome!!!
My 5-yr-old comes up with elaborate stories using his LEGO figurines. I'm always on the lookout for new ones!!!
my kids love just building! wherever their imagination takes them. I have all girls and the lego addiction is new! and exciting!!!
Both my son and daughter love Legos! They love to create new scenes and act them out with their mini figs!
My kids like to use Lego idea books to make things for Minifigures. I never thought of having them build scenes based on what we are learning in homeschool, I love all the Lego homeschool ideas you give me!
My kids would love these minifigs!
My two oldest boys, ages 9 and 6, always have at least one mini figure with them, no matter where we go. My 9yr. old makes up all kinds of stories and scenes with them. My 6yr. old loves to mix them around to make new characters. If we won, these would most definitely be put to good use daily.
I know a first grader who would LOVE to play with LEGOs for school. They have such great tool!
Mini-figs rock!!
my boys would love this! they love building with legos!
thanks

My boys play "good guys, bad guys", firemen, police, and they also play like they are a family with all the family members.
My children love Legos, and I love your ideas on ways to incorporate them!
My son is an AVID Lego enthusiast! Please read as: we-go-everywhere-with-Legos-and-have-them-within-arms-reach-at-all-times :) His current mini-figure project is "staffing" a Lego city he has constructed in his room; his first priority was a police and army force. Upon his sister's insistence, he added a doctor and a nurse (both of whom happen to have armor; go figure). He would LOVE this set! And his sister would be so pleased to have some female figures in the city as well!
I like to link writing assignments to legos. My children will write a short story and then build a lego diorama of a scene from their story. They love it! This set would be awesome to add to their collection.
