Hi readers! I’m so excited about today’s giveaway!
As many of you know we’ve been absolutely loving the LEGO Education products lately. And my kiddos are super excited that we’ve added them into our curriculum this year.
We’re going to be doing a co-op with the LEGO Education Simple & Motorized Mechanisms Base Set this year, but I’ll have more to share on that later.
Today I have the pleasure of reviewing the LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set and Software for you. This stuff is so cool, I had no idea!
Literally.
I had no idea until my friend’s 12 year old showed me how to use it.
And yes, I felt old.
But then I realized how cool this product is!
As I mentioned, we received the LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set, Activity Pack, and Software set. We downloaded the Farris Wheel instructions from their online resources, then built the project using the WeDo 9580 + 9585 sets combined.
Once our project was complete, we installed the LEGO Education WeDo software pack to my computer. That’s when Trevor came to help bail me out.
I tried to figure out the software on my own.
Because I have an aversion to reading instructions.
Then I gave up and Trevor came to the rescue.
Here’s a short video we made on using the software to power your LEGO Education creation…apparently it’s really not all that complicated. So I’m thinking I was just having an “off” day. Yeah.

And just to show you how cool LEGO Education is, I am giving away one of the Homeschool Simple Machines Pack with a Printed Teacher’s guide to help get you started! (That’s over a $100 kit people, free for one of you!)

I have been eyeing the simple machines set as it would be the perfect level for my son.
Exploring Your Community would be awesome. With a daughter who is blind, sometimes it is difficult to verbally explain things without a physical backup – she could see in small scale what I am trying to explain!
We love Legos! They all look so fun! My kids are animal lovers so they would especially enjoy the Wild Animals set.
I like the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set ! But they all look great!!! My three sons would love anything Lego.
Simple Machines looks amazing! My kids love playing with Legos.
My son would build with Lego’s all day if I let him! I think he would love the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set. It would be a great start. Thank you for the giveaways!
I’m constantly drooling over these Lego Education sets; it is hard to choose which one! The simple and motorized one, the story starter set, even the set with all kinds of minifigures!
My boys would love ANY of these!! They adore Legos, and I love to see the creative things they build!
I love the simple machines kit because it ties in with our science unit this year. Would love to win it.
My son is absolutely obsessed with anything Lego! He would love this!
