I recently heard about a great FREE event, the Ultimate Block Party, sponsored in part by LEGO that will take place Sunday October 3rd, in Central Park at the Naumberg Bandshell in New York City! The event will take place from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m and through multiple sponsors, a variety of stations, games and activities will encourage children and their families to play and experience the fun and importance of playful learning together! At the LEGO Imagination Construction Zone, individuals or teams will choose from 250,000 loose green LEGO bricks to construct a model for a creative landscape designed and built by Ultimate Block Party attendees.
According to the press release from this event, “the Ultimate Block Party will transform the Bandshell area of New York City’s Central Park into the world’s most innovative playground, demonstrating the power of fun and games for learning and helping to reinforce that how we play as children helps form who we become as adults.”
LEGO will give a LEGO CREATOR: Ferocious Creatures Set (valued at $29.99) to a reader to encourage the use of LEGO Construction Zones at home as a way to expand a child’s play skills and creativity!
Mandatory entry: Leave a comment under this post describing how your child likes to play imaginatively, and a random winner will win the LEGO CREATOR Ferocious Creatures set!

I like watching my son pretend to be a superhero. He’ll run around with his cape and jump off of furniture.

Tristan pretends that his bike is a cab, a racecar, a horse, a motorcycle and even a dinosaur.
My daughter puts on plays for her stuffed animals – I can’t believe how detailed they are for a 4 year old! So cute!
Thanks!
My son loves to use the mini fig lego pirates all over the house. They have tupperware bowls, bath toys and all kinds of other house hold objects as their ships.
My son plays his guitar and makes up songs as well as lots of drawing pictures of vehicles he designs.

My son is just learning how to play imaginatively. He likes to line up his action figures and cars and talk to them. He also like to stack up his lego blocks and then knock them down like king kong.
