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!

My son makes lego structures everywhere...he calls it "Cybercity"
His favorite toys are Jenga blocks and legos. He makes the most detailed cities and landscapes. It is amazing to watch and see what he comes up with.
He loves Lego. He gets a new Lego model and has it built immediately.
My child likes to pretend his pokemon figures and cards are alive
My grandson is a big lego fan, but after he's put together whatever the current kit is supposed to be, he uses to pieces to put together things of his own invention. Pretty cool stuff, too.
my daughter loves building amusement parks.
Thanks for the chance.
