Unleashing Creativity and Imagination with LEGO’s Latest Workshop Series for Kids

ENFIELD, Conn. — The LEGO Group has announced an exciting continuation of its celebrated series of free in-store and online interactive creativity workshops. This initiative, known as “Play Unstoppable,” is specially designed to spark the imaginations of young creators aged 6-12. The latest chapter in this innovative series focuses on the power of Imagination and “DREAMZzz,” offering a variety of hands-on, playful learning experiences.

Dual Opportunities to Explore Creativity

LEGO fans can choose between two engaging formats to participate in these creative fests:

1. In-store Creativity Workshops: Scheduled for August 17 and 18 at select LEGO Store locations throughout North America, these sessions promise a dynamic environment where children can engage in a spin-the-wheel game to decide what they’ll build. Whether it be a quirky animal, a dream house, or a fantastical vehicle, LEGO store associates are ready to guide each builder through their creative journey. Due to limited space, advance booking at LEGO.com/CreativityWorkshops is required, ensuring a personalized and immersive building experience.
2. Creativity at Home – Online Workshops: For those who prefer the comfort of their home, LEGO has lined up Amy Jones (aka @studiojonesie), a renowned artist and illustrator, to lead virtual workshops. Participants will learn how to construct decorative and functional LEGO items such as vases, memory boxes, and artwork, enhancing their living spaces with a touch of LEGO charm. These sessions are accessible via LEGO’s dedicated workshop webpage.

A Commitment to Empowering Young Minds

These workshops are integral to LEGO’s longstanding commitment to nurturing creativity and confidence in young girls and boys alike. By rotating themes that include Entertainment, Space, Gaming, and now Imagination and DREAMZzz, LEGO continues to cater to diverse interests and inspire participants to explore boundless creative possibilities.

Star-studded Guidance

The Online Creativity Workshops feature a lineup of influential creators, including Dianne Buswell, known for her electrifying dance moves; Alexandra Doten, who brings a cosmic perspective as Astro Alexandra; and Kennedy, a gaming legend who guides attendees through the virtual realms of possibilities with LEGO.

Visit and Participate

To dive into this enriching LEGO experience, fans can now watch the online workshops or register for an upcoming in-store session. A list of participating stores in both the USA and Canada is available, covering a wide geographical area to ensure that many have the opportunity to join in the fun.
