More than 3,000 first graders in Danbury, Hartford, and New Britain has received a gift from the Connecticut State Department of Education and the LEGO Group.  To date more than 6,500 students across the state have received boxes of LEGO brick to encourage them to continue to learn through play while at home and in the classroom.  The initiative is part of the LEGO Group’s Replay Program, where people can ship their pre-loved LEGOs, for free, to a Give Back Box facility where it will be inspected, sanitized and repackaged for kids across the country.  Each box has an instruction booklet with ideas for dozens of builds, as well as play prompts.
