(BPT) - The holiday season is a great time to take a look back and appreciate everything you have, while also looking forward to the upcoming new year. This also makes it the perfect opportunity to look for ways to clear out some of your kids' clutter so you can start the next year a little more organized.
Fortunately, there's an easy way you can give back to other kids throughout the country and declutter your house at the same time. If you've got kids who have outgrown some of their favorite LEGO sets, or perhaps have more bricks than they frequently play with, you'll want to check out a great program that supports sustainability, while also offering toys to children who might otherwise have little or no access to them.
Thanks to the LEGO Replay program, you can easily box up and send in your used LEGO bricks - at no cost to you - so they can be cleaned up and repackaged for community organizations, schools and nonprofits. The program makes it possible for even more kids to have fun while they explore everything LEGO bricks have to offer - powering their imaginations and developing problem-solving skills through active, hands-on play - just as your kids have enjoyed doing while growing up with these favorite toys.
New life for your LEGO bricks
Have any LEGO bricks that you'd like to donate? It's easy to declutter the kid zones in your home and share the fun at the same time. Simply fill a cardboard box of your choice with your loose, used LEGO bricks, then go online to LEGO.com/replay to print a prepaid label. Then all you have to do is mail it in! The package will go directly to a Lego Replay facility, where the bricks will be individually sorted, inspected by hand, and given a rigorous cleaning.
Your much-loved LEGO bricks will then be repackaged to be sent to educators, schools and charitable organizations. Each LEGO Replay box will include a mix of elements from all sorts of sets, allowing for endless creativity, along with an activity booklet with great building activities for kids to try.
You can be happy knowing that you're decluttering your home for a more joyful and organized new year, while your actions ensure that even more kids will be able to enjoy playing with these iconic toys for years to come.
