LEGO's #BuildToGive Campaign Brings Joy to All

Disclaimer: The Fandads have teamed up with our friends from LEGO and received a few LEGO sets to help promote their #BuildToGive campaign. 

I have been fortunate to not have stepped on any LEGO pieces in my adulthood. My children are good about cleaning up after themselves when it comes to their LEGO sets, but while they are lucky enough to have some sets to build and create there are some children that are not as lucky. As a way to help out those children LEGO is sharing the gift of play with their #buildtogive campaign.

Counting Down to Christmas with Arlo from The Good Dinosaur

Remember when you were younger and the anticipation for Christmas once December hits? Did you "X" out the days until Christmas? I remember doing that with my calendars and just could not wait until the day came when I could celebrate with my family and see what gifts were waiting for us under the Christmas tree.

If you have children (or are just a kid at heart) you know that advent calendars are a better way to count down the days until Christmas than just drawing an "X" on the calendar.  If you are like me and waited until the last minute to get one and can not find the one you are looking for, I'm looking at you Lego Star Wars advent calendar, than this is a quick and easy one to make at home with your children. 

Countdown the days with Arlo and see what's hidden behind the doors each day.  I would tell you what's being door number 2, but I think I should keep it a surprise.  What are you waiting for? Start that printer and get to printing and cutting!!

"Freeze you rebel scum!" #30DaysofStarWarsShirts Day 28

Leave it to a Stormtrooper to misfire and miss out on a day.  Well, that's what happened...uh, yeah, that's it.  Since Stormtroopers are clones, who knows how well their memory is by now.  

Poor Spider-Man!

One of the few times Spider-Man will be part of the Avengers.

 

We know he's part of The Avengers, but does he really get the same amount of the respect that the other members do?

Items for your 360 avatars, dynamic themes for the PS3, Xbox live and point cards, PSN $20 cards, 1 month of Playstation Plus, a StarHawk Private Beta code, T-shirts, a few games we got at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair, Key chains, and the winner of the last day of Fandads....we'll keep that a secret.
