The folks at LEGO sent my kids one of their LEGO Mosaic Kits and I have to say I am impressed. Not only are they more fun than I thought they would be, but they have lead my kids to use their LEGOs in a whole new way.
The set comes with a clear, flat LEGO board that you set on top of one of a number of included paper patterns. You then use those tiny, square LEGOs to create a mosaic. Very cool! And now my boys have yet another LEGO-ing technique under their belt. I may never get them out of the playroom at this rate…
I’d also like to mention a contest that LEGO is having where you have a chance to win $5,000. Just go to Lego Creation Nation and click where it says “Creativity Awards.” Entries must be received by Monday, September 17, 2007, so get cracking!
And just to spice things up, I’m having a giveaway too. Just leave a comment on this post and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a cute LEGO keychain. You’ll be the coolest parent or teacher on the block… well until they see you drive away in your minivan.
Leave a comment on this post by 5pm Pacific time, Tuesday, September 25th and you’ll be entered to win one of three LEGO keychains. Details.
This contest is now closed.

This LEGO set looks very cool! I think this will appeal to my 6 and 9 year old. I love toys that require imagination instead of batteries!!!
I just saw this set in Target while looking for something for my cousin’s kids. Wish I’d bought it now! I loved lego, and my daughter loves it, as will my son I hope - but the pieces in that look too tiny to be making an appearance in my house anytime soon. Definitely one to watch out for in the future.
This looks pretty cool. Our oldest son absolutely loves LEGO and he can spend hours building his own custom creations.
I’ll have to check out the contest as well as that sounds pretty cool.
Sounds like a great b-day present for some upcoming parties. And enter me :)
Cute!
Pick me! It’s my birthday on the 25th!
You know what’s crazy? I never had lego as a kid. I had lock blocks (?) when I was really little, and then Tinker Toys when I was older… but never Legos.
I just lost my old key chain….and who wouldn’t want one my kiddo can play with?
Yay Legos!
That is so cute!! My boys would have a fit over it! Count me in.
count me in!
Count me in, too!
My lego lover would get a kick out of this. :)
Heh… my 7 year old saw this and went NUTS! He has much lurve for teh LEGGOS!
Legos are the best!
My son would love this, he loves all things lego.
OK, this contest is closed and I’ll announce the winner soon!
