Hey there! 🙂 Have you seen the latest Lego Minifigures set? It’s series 28 and it was released January 1, 2026 and they are so cute! You’re gonna love them! 🙂
There are 12 characters available and each little box contains 1 figure. The figures are wearing animal costumes for the following animals: peacock, fluffy cat (my favorite!), goldfish, monkey, frog, koala, Dalmatian, crocodile, dolphin, bunny, lion and parrot.
Want to hear something really cool? There is an app that you can use to scan the code on the box and you can see which character is inside! 🙂 It’s called Minifig Scan.
Here’s what it looks like when you scan the code on the outside of the minifigures box.
Is that cool or what??! 🙂 Very helpful! (Can save you a bunch of money if you want the whole set!)
Here’s what you’ll find inside some of the boxes: the cute bunny
The peacock…so cute!
And the koala…adorable too!
Each box costs $4.99 at the stores I have checked. If you have a Barnes & Noble premium membership, you can save 10% off each one. Have fun collecting! 🙂

Hello! I have a little munchkin helping me write our blog post today. 😉 Our youngest grandson is visiting us for a few days. (He’s too young to actually help, but he likes the pretty computer screen. lol) Today is day #12 so…you guessed it…it is time to open door #12.
Let’s see what is hiding behind today’s door.
What do these pieces make when they are assembled?
My guess is hot chocolate! What do you think?
Oh, and some cookies! 🙂

Hello, my fellow Lego fanatics! 🙂 Let’s talk about the new Lego Formula 1 car packs! Have you seen them? The boxes they come in are the same size as the Lego Minifigures and they also sell for $4.99 in the United States.
I’m not really into Formula 1 racing but I have heard about the new Formula 1 movie that is releasing this month. Whether you like Formula 1 racing or just playing or collecting cool cars, these packs could be fun for you or your kids. So in case you are interested, I bought a pack so I can show you what comes inside. 🙂 First thing is quite a few Lego pieces! I would say these have more pieces than the usual minifigure packs do.
Also included are instructions for putting the car together and on the back of the instructions you can see all 12 cars that are available.
While the instructions are not the easiest to see, I was able to figure it out fairly easily. A younger child might need some assistance. Here’s the car that was in my surprise box:
These are pictures copied from the Lego website to show you closer up the cars that are available and give you their names.
If you like Lego and racing cars, I’m guessing you will have fun collecting these. 🙂 They are available on the Lego website. I found the one I bought at a Barnes & Noble bookstore but I’m guessing they are available in other stores as well.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂 Did you remember to wear green? I hope nobody pinches you if you forgot! Today’s post is about making a leprechaun out of a paper plate! Sound fun? Let’s get started!
You will need a small paper plate that is blank on the back, some orange yarn (I couldn’t find solid orange yarn), glue, scissors, a peach or tan crayon, a black marker, green construction paper, a set of large wiggly eyes (or draw your own eyes) and some scraps of black, yellow and orange construction paper.
You will create your leprechaun on the BACK of the plate. Depending on how you look at the pictures, you might think we used the front, but we didn’t. 😉 Use the peach or tan crayon to color the back of the plate. It’s rather hard to see in the picture because the color is so light, sorry.
It’s time to make the leprechaun’s hat. Using the green construction paper, cut out a simple hat.
Use a strip of black paper to add a band to the hat.
Now we’ll make the buckle for the hat. Cut a square from the yellow paper that is a little bit larger than the height of the black band. Cut a small square from the black paper that is smaller than the yellow square. Glue the black square in the center of the yellow square.
Glue the buckle in the center of the black band on the hat.
To glue the hat onto the leprechaun’s face, apply glue to the top portion of the plate where the hat will touch.
Press the hat onto the plate.
Next cut 2 eyebrow shapes from the scrap of orange paper. Glue them on just below the bottom of the hat.
Glue on the wiggly eyes or draw on some eyes with the black marker.
Now draw on a bit of a nose and a mouth.
Cut a bunch of yarn pieces around 3 1/2 – 4″ long. You will need a lot of them! Lol This bunch is just a start. 😉 I used 102 pieces of yarn.
Put a small line of glue on the plate where the leprechaun’s chin would be. Lay the ends of the pieces of yarn on the glue, lining them up evenly.
Continue adding pieces of yarn until the leprechaun’s beard is as full as you want it to be.
And you’re finished! Great job! Your leprechaun is now ready for St. Patrick’s Day! Better keep an eye on him because leprechauns can be pretty sneaky and they love to play tricks on people! 😉 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂
