Now that your child has all the gifts they could ever ask for, what do you do with all the old LEGO pieces lying around? The popular toy block company has come up with LEGO Replay which allows previously loved LEGO bricks to be donated to children in need.
LEGO blocks are an essential part of a child's life to help them learn, collaborate and be creative. LEGO Replay allows the less fortunate to play and develop these skills too! The bricks are donated to multiple donation partners like Right to Play and True North Aid.
Here's what you have to do:
Gather all the LEGO pieces you want to donate, disassemble any sets that have been built and sort out the bricks that can't be donated according to the list below of accepted blocks.
Accepted:
LEGO System, DUPLO, and Technic Bricks and Elements from single or multiple sets

When deciding what to do with old LEGO pieces, consider transforming them with creative flair, perhaps integrating them into new builds or enhancing them with Lego lighting kits. Upcycling old pieces not only breathes new life into beloved toys but also adds a touch of innovation and illumination to your creations.
