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!

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.

My two year old twins are always building towers as high as they can with their mega blocks and when they fall they say oh no and then laugh and start again-hours of fun. We went to the Sears tower this summer so think maybe they are trying to build tall ones they don’t have any lego’s yet so would love this.
Today she played pet shop and vet with all her stuffed animals. She even turned down a pretend couple for pet adoption because she said, “they didn’t seem like a good match.”

When I cook or bake, our daughter will take out her own cookware and want to cook and bake along with me. Since her cookware can also be used on the stove or in the oven, she’ll cook alongside me.
Great we love legos
My children are always looking to modify the blocky shapes of legos and other building block toys into more flowing, natural shapes and they can be extremely creative when getting just the right look.
My son loves to play with his legos creating cities with them.

My son absolutely loves Lego. He receives their magazines and asked for the brickmaster magazine for his birthday present. Everyday he is coming up with new ideas and loves to build them.
Thank you

My kids are so creative. They can use anything to play with- cardboard boxes become train cars, paper bags become puppets and toilet paper rolls are bowling pins.

My ten year-old son loves building anything that comes to mind. He does also like buying sets and building following directions, once, then he will use the pieces to make his own original creations, sometimes showing a real engineering talent.
