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 daughter made best friends with her Cabbage
Patch dolls. They even have their own personalities.
Thank you for the giveaway. My son enjoys building things and being creative in his room. He just turned 13 but, this hasn’t stopped him from using his imagination and playing with legos. He really enjoys building boats and forts.
My son is a HUGE Lego fan. He builds entire cities from them. He will even find a picture of a ship, plane, or truck he likes then recreate it from his Lego, I’m constantly amazed with what he creates!
My very little one attempts to give her pacifier to her cabbage patch doll.
I have a lot of children. However, my younger three often play in such a manner. My two youngest sons like to build things with Legos daily, especially anything to do with Star Wars. Even if it is not a kit for building the item, they “invent” a new spaceship or droid. One of my sons pretends his medical droid fixes all my imaginary wounds. 🙂
My children would LOVE this.

My daughter is into blocks and legos and anything that she can build into something. She’s very creative and imaginative
My grandson just loves to build anything. He would love this
The kids love Lego’s. They love to build everything from house’s to plane’s. Thanks for the chance.
My daughter loves to play in her kitchen. She’s constantly cooking us yummy meals. lol Thank you!
My son LOVES to play with Legos, and he’s pretty good with the Play-doh and clay. What really amazes me is what he can do with an empty cardboard box!
Both of my boys absolutely love their legos and we get them get them kits, I love how they build the kit, but then their imaginations go wild and they mix the different kits to make all kinds of creative toys to play with (OK, usually to battle one another with).

My son (6) loves to build with his Legos. His imagination runs wild as he creates his own world – stores, homes, buildings and cars are some of his favorites.
y son loves to play pretend from firetrucks to legos to shopping. Thanks so much for the chance!
My kids love to play with their stuffed animals and pretend they’re “students” in their class, or “patients” in their vet office. 🙂
My son loves to build forts and have make believe battles. I have a box of miscellaneous Legos and he builds machines and weapons from what’s available and then tries to shoot them down. These get very elaborate and creative!

My kids (and husband) like to make a town, where each is responsible for a building and vehicle.
My son loves to build towers out of blocks and whatever else he can find the he pretends to be Godzilla and smashes them while roaring and stomping all over the room. It’s incredibly cute. 🙂
They like to pick up things outside sticks rocks… and build with them
I foolow
My niece is really into arts and crafts to allow her imagination to run wild!
My children love lining their stuffed animals up and teaching them their numbers and ABC’s. I love checking on them and seeing them play so well together.

My two little grandsons like to pretend they are policemen..only neither one wants to be the bad guy, so grandma always ends up being the one arrested.

legos are always fun to build anything you can imagine
My child loves legos, loves to play with puppets, and arts and crafts.
My kids like to pretend our trees are houses, forts and amusement parks:)
She takes care of her stuffed animals, feeds them and walks them
My son loves to build and/or make things. He uses anything and everything to do so even aluminum foil.

This summer, my boys took their “army guys” to the backyard and made a fort (with dad’s help) and a swamp and held videotaped floods.
My grandson loves to play with my big box of lego’s. He loves to build towns, ships and all kinds of different cars!
My kids love to create a store and “sell” their toys, books and handmade items. Thanks!
My grandson like to build space ships with his legos and then he pretends they are in a battle
Both of my kids are really creative. We live out in the country 30 miles from any of their friends so they have to come up with some ways to intertain themselves without anyone else. My son is always making something out of legos-today he made a boat.
My daughter likes to play with my old vintage aprons. Her, her friend, and my son love to play restraunt. They take turns being the waiter/waitress. She also loves to wear her sisters old cloths and redesign her Barbie’s clothes. She’s also a wiz at making tiny little fairy dresses out of scraps of paper.

My son likes to make a raceway with his cars and pretend that he is racing!
My stepbrother is 6 and loves lego’s from lego games to sitting down and building them. My step father only gets him on the weekends and every weekand they get a lego to build it is something they do together and they look forward to doing. I would love to get this for him and my stepfather as a weekend son and father activity.
