LEGO stores have been holding a Mini Model build event in LEGO stores every month. This store event started in 2009 and this year has been no different. One was held in January and this month, its here again. This event is normally held on the first week of every month and the little LEGO fans can learn how to build a specific mini model of that particular month in store and take their build home for free.

The event is open to kids aged 6 to 14 year olds only. The dates vary from month to month but they are normally announced in advance so parents can put the date in your diaries and take the little ones along for this event.

This month event takes place on the 2nd of Feb 2012 at 4pm if you live in the UK or Germany. In the US, this event starts on the 7th of Feb. 2012 at 5pm in a LEGO Store near you!

A good event to help the little ones explore their creativity and they will love being out playing in a LEGO store. This month’s mini model build is the LEGO Hockey Player Mini Model – image on the left.

Kids can also learn how to build this model from the comfort of their homes by following the instructions available via download from LEGO or the link below if you can’t make it to a LEGO shop or there isn’t one near where you live. Be aware this is available for a limited time only. Download the building instructions. 

If you can’t make it to your local LEGO store for some reason, you can always build the Mini Model at home because LEGO posts the instructions online and you can use the pieces you have or order what you need from LEGO Pick a Brick Store.
