LEGO Replay is a simple-to-use platform that allows you to pass forward your much-loved LEGO bricks and share the power of play with kids in need. When children play with your donated LEGO bricks, it helps them learn to problem solve, collaborate, and think creatively. With LEGO Replay, worlds of play can be rebuilt and reimagined many times over helping to inspire the builders of tomorrow.

Lego Replay collects used lego bricks, cleans them and distributes them to children in need (classrooms, community centers, Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs etc.).

Lego kits do not need to be complete…pieces can be missing.

Children get a box with a variety of bricks and elements. The box also comes with an activity booklet with some great building activities to try out.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

  1. Donations only include brick-based toys; i.e. no apparel, key chains, storage containers. 
  2. All electronic components and batteries have been removed from the donation. 
  3. The donation only includes LEGO® elements no packaging or building instructions. 
  4. All bricks are separated from each other and are not interlocked

It’s so easy…

COLLECT THE BRICKS
BOX THEM
PRINT FREE SHIPPING LABEL
SHIP THE BOX VIA UPS GROUND

You may sign up on the Lego Replay website to get a free shipping label at www.lego.com/replay and once on the website Click on the tab READY TO DONATE? and complete the steps to get the FREE mailing label.

What can Kiwanis clubs do?

Have a Lego brick collection drive in your community. Once collected spend a club meeting or two separating the Lego bricks. Separate anything not acceptable for shipping. Then box them, print a free shipping label and ship (you may want to include a letter in the box from your Kiwanis club indicating your club project). I think this is one of the best projects clubs can do because it’s easy, fun, donating to children in need and ITS FREE!

I’m hoping we can have a Lego collection project with  Kiwanians at our next District Convention in Springfield, MA. AUGUST 2024. I’ll keep y’all posted!
