Looking for free family events to keep the kids busy? Find events like Lowe’s Kids’ Workshops, Home Depot’s Kids Workshops, JCPenney Kid Zone Crafts, and even Lego free in-store events for kids.

Lego occasionally holds in-store activities for kids called Lego Build or Lego Make and Take events. Kids get a free Lego set (that isn't available to the public) to build at Lego stores or Barnes & Noble locations, which they can take home. Here's everything you need to know about the Lego Make and Take events.

What exactly is a Lego Build or Make and Take event anyway?

Lego Build or Make and Take It events are in-store opportunities for kids to receive free promotional Lego kits that they can build in a group setting. These events typically run about two hours, but you don’t need to stay that long.

The next Lego Build event (spring flower set) will happen the first weekend in May at select Barnes & Noble locations.

Lego stores aren't the only place you'll find Lego Make and Take events. In May, Barnes & Noble locations will hold a Sping in Bloom (spring flower set) Lego Build event that will be absolutely free, no purchase necessary.

Although the event will take place the first weekend in May, the exact date and times will vary by location. One store in Devon, PA, is holding the event on Saturday, May 3 starting at 1 p.m.; another location in Salem, NH, is holding the event on Friday, May 2 from 5 - 7 p.m.; and a store in Orion Township, MI, will be on Sunday, May 4, starting at noon.

Unlike Lego store events that are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis you'll need to sign up for a spot for the B&N Lego Build event.

We can't stress enough how popular anything involving free Legos is, so it’s imperative you sign up for your local event in advance. Some Barnes & Noble locations allow you to call them to secure a spot. Others require you visit in-store ahead of the event to sign up. Whichever method works best at your location, sign up as early as possible. Only one Lego kit is provided per child registered.

To find out if your local store is participating click on the Stores & Events tab at the top left of the Barnes & Noble homepage. From there you can search by zip code, store name, or event name to see if any of the locations near you are participating, as well as the date and time of their particular event.

Is there an age limit for a Lego Build event?

No, there’s no age limit for these events. However, Lego notes the age group for which the models are best suited. For example, the upcoming Spring Flower event has a recommended age group of 6 and older.

KCL predicts the next in-store Lego Build event will happen in June at Lego stores.

Lego stores run free Lego Build events on occasion, although there’s no real rhyme or reason to when these are scheduled. In March 2025, they held an event where kids could build a Lego Steering Wheel.

Lego Build events are offered on a first-come, first serve basis, so get there early.

Because these events are so popular, they're offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. That means show up early if you want a chance for your kid(s) to participate. You'll need to contact your local store to confirm event details.
