We’ve been asked by LEGO® to find 30 UK Mumsnetters to give LEGO® as a reward to their DCs over a 2 week period.

We’re looking for Mumsnetters who have at least one child aged 5 or over.

Here’s what they have to say: “Here at LEGO®, we’re interested to see what occasions you would consider rewarding or treating your kids with LEGO®? A great school report. Holiday treats. Good behaviour on a trip to the dentist. Helping in the garden. Tidying their room. Mum's little star. There is a great LEGO® gift idea starting from £2.49 that is fun, creative and made for every occasion. With so many sets to choose from, we think LEGO® is a fantastic gift for every occasion and we’d like you to tell us about it!”

If you are selected to take part you will be sent one of the following:

  • Two LEGO® City Sets (Demolition Starter set and Swamp Police Starter set - RRP £8.99)
  • Two LEGO® Friends Sets (Garden Pool and Vet Ambulance - RRP £9.99)
  • One LEGO® City Set and One LEGOFriends Set (either Demolition Starter set OR Swamp Police Starter set, and Garden Pool OR Vet Ambulance)

Over a two week period we’d like you to give the LEGO® products to your child as a reward – should the situation arise where a reward or treat is warranted, of course Wink, in place of other rewards. During the testing period, you would need to give feedback on a thread on Mumsnet about the occasions where you have given the LEGO® sets as a reward. It's very important you share your feedback with Mumsnet and LEGO® on the thread. If there were no occasions to reward your child with LEGO®, you can use the LEGO® as a reward at a later date and still participate in the thread

Testers need to be available to participate in the test from 18-31 May. Please only apply if you’re available at this time.

Every tester who posts their feedback will be entered into a prize draw, where one winner will receive a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

If you’d like to take part please add your details here.

Thanks and good luck!

Argh - I pressed the wrong button for the sets we'd be most interested in trying. Can I change my answer somehow?? I have a boy and a girl, so meant to check the last answer for the City and the Friends one!

Fat fingers!

Hi FirstWeTakeManhattan - I've changed this for you :)

This would be absolutely fantastic! I have filled i the form - fingers crossed!

SmileyShazza · 01/05/2015 13:31

Would love to participate in this. I usually end up rewarding DS with food related treats and would be great if I could reduce those and offer something like this. Not only would it reduce the amount of treats he is getting and help his diet but offering Lego would aid his creativity through play.

idleweiss · 01/05/2015 13:31

Fantastic! my Lego mad DD would love this! :)

Cockadoodledooo · 01/05/2015 14:00

Awesome idea, thanks for the chance!

GinAndSonic · 01/05/2015 16:15

Ooohhh entered, DS would love more lego

Gargroops · 01/05/2015 16:58

Thanks I have entered and it would be really exciting for my kids to try these new ones out..

silky80 · 01/05/2015 17:41

Done, we get the lego bags for treats.

FranksBobot · 01/05/2015 18:57

What a fab idea. I've never even thought of using lego as a reward! I think even if we are not selected to try it I may give it a go myself. We usually use sweets (only time she really has them) but she's tends to hoard them rather than eat them (unlike me who often raids her stash!)

annieno1 · 01/05/2015 19:12

my children would love this

HuftysTrain · 01/05/2015 19:23

Lego is really expensive. As if anyone on here is genuinely considering switching from chocolate buttons to Lego as rewards Hmm

No-one's going to turn down free stuff though Wink

DharmaBumpkin · 01/05/2015 19:34

Entered, DD would love this!

InMySpareTime · 01/05/2015 19:38

Entered! This will be great for SATs rewards for my two (though in this case "over 5" actually means "5-12" so my Lego-mad 13yo doesn't count for itHmm).
Anything that dissuades them from making more Lego weaponry (we have several Lego bows & arrows, guns and a crossbow) can only be a good thing...

nannyj · 01/05/2015 21:04

Entered! My dd would be so excited to get a set.

CaptainSubtext · 01/05/2015 22:32

Cool product test!
I would use the set to reward for a decent amount of maths/literacy work in that week, I think (recently started home ed)

lokijet · 01/05/2015 22:52

My son would love this - not sure if he can behave well enough to deserve it!!!

WoahBodyforrrrm · 01/05/2015 23:02

Entered!

My son is doing extra maths work each evening to try and help him keep up with his classmates and it hasn't gone down well. I've offered to reward him for just getting on with it without making a fuss so this would be perfect! He is mad about Lego as am I

LostMyBaubles · 01/05/2015 23:04

Done. Cant reward ds with sweets as has food aversion.

Hes got asd too and timing can br off so how good would it be to pull this out when hes tolerated something he wouldn't normally Grin

Rainicorn · 02/05/2015 09:21

How exciting! Fingers crossed everyone.

BellMcEnd · 02/05/2015 09:48

Oh my goodness. DS2 would be ShockSmileGrin(and repeat) Lego obsessed

NipLash · 02/05/2015 09:52

I've entered my details, my son is just discovering how much fun Lego is so this trial would be fantastic. I'd never thought of using sets as a reward, I usually give him a magazine or pocket money toy, but Lego is a much better idea.

LowryFan · 02/05/2015 15:03

Love Lego, have entered Smile
