LEGO Magazine (Free subscription for kids!)
If you have kids who loves LEGOS, I just wanted to remind you about this great FREEBIE!
Did you know you can sign up for a completely free LEGO magazine subscription?! There are no strings attached and it’s 100% free!
(Well, other than the fact that there’s definitely some marketing and advertising built into each issue about the newest kits coming out…so your kids might get really excited about new LEGO sets that are on the horizon! ;))
Your first issue will arrive within 6-16 weeks.
What is LEGO Life Magazine?
This magazine used to be called LEGO Club Magazine but in recent years has rebranded to LEGO® Life Magazine.
It’s designed for kids between the ages of 5 and 9 years old. And after providing your child’s birth date, they will receive this FREE magazine 4 times per year until they are no longer within the age limit window. (And after that, they can download the free LEGO Life app to use!)
Each issue is filled with stories, activities, posters, comics, contests, creative building ideas, and more!
Kids can even submit their own creations to possibly appear in the magazine!
Our kids loved LEGO Life Magazine!
When they were younger, our kids absolutely loved this magazine.
It was always one of their very favorite magazines to get in the mail, and it was SO fun for them to get some of their own snail mail!
I have fond memories of our three older kids pouring over the latest LEGO issue and reading it from cover to cover — especially Kathrynne!
This magazine provided hours of entertainment for all of our kids without spending a dime!

Is there an exemption to the age requirement for people with special needs? My son has Down syndrome. He loves his LEGO movies and I thought he would enjoy the magazines as well, but he’s 27.
Meagan says
That’s a really good question! I would contact their customer service. I bet they’d be willing to send you a subscription! -Meg, MSM Team

Someone asked a while ago about why/when this magazine might not be a fit for their children and no one really answered the question. My husband and my family both got it as kids and enjoyed it. However, we’ve decided not to get it for our kids right now. A lot of it has to do with their age and maturity level (8 and under). First, anytime they see a new LEGO set they want it. They are not mature enough to enjoy trying to build something with the tons of LEGOS they have rather than want more. The magazine would exacerbate this.
Second, we generally don’t purchase toys for movies we don’t let our kids watch. Some movies they aren’t old enough for. Others we just don’t feel like they need to waste their time watching. Modern LEGOS are heavily based on movies or TV shows. I don’t want my kids constantly exposed to (and wishing for) sets that I’ll never get for them.
The magazine can be a great imagination builder for some kids but it’s just not a good idea for us right now.
Kevin says
Thanks for sharing! Both my kids can’t get enough Legos and they love getting things in the mail.
Jordan says
Yay! I love hearing that kids still love Legos. They were my favorite as a kid. Real confession, I may still buy some of the really ridiculously complex ones to assemble, like the Saturn V and Apollo Lunar Module! -Jordan, MSM Team

My children absolutely love the LEGO Magazine. They actively wait for it every two month and get concerned if it is a day or two late coming in the mail.
One option is to sign each of your children up for their own LEGO magazine. We have been doing this for years.
Terri says
THANK YOU for this blog post!! I just signed up for my son. This is one of the many reasons why I love visiting your blog everyday. You post such wonderful treasures!
Alexis@Clip Your Cash says
Thanks so much for this tip. My daughter’s birthday was last Tuesday and the only thing she asked for was “beautiful legos.” Consequently, we are definitely in the Lego stage!
Teresa says
In Missouri, our conservation department offers a free magazine geared for kids called Xplor. http://xplor.mdc.mo.gov/xplor/get-xplor-magazine It is available for subscriptions for out of state for $5 per year. My 9 year old son loves getting this magazine and so do we. We usually read it together as soon as it comes in the mail. I recently signed him up for the Lego magazine.
Bobbi says
Does anyone know how to find the lego jr. magazine? I can’t find it anywhere on the website.
Ai @ Less to More says
When you sign up, you have to provide the child’s age or birthdate. They will determine based on that, what kind of magazine you’ll be sent.
Bobbi says
That makes sense. Thanks!!

I thought I would share this article, it’s a Nathan Sawaya’a exhibit, which is currently being shown in Philadelphia, PA, and is a remastering of famous works, such as Starry Night and The Mona Lisa, all in Legos! As one of my two degrees was in Art History, I always love to see exhibits that the whole family can enjoy!

This isn’t magazine related but, it’s Lego related, so I’m just throwing it out here..
I’m not sure if they still do this, but about a year ago when I was working at a mall, the store across from us was Lego. The first Tuesday of every month they would give out free Lego kits to people-mostly children but I would see adults in the line, too-and they would have different kits for each month. The line always wrapped around the mall, and people always told me it was worth it.
Sarah says
Yes, the first tuesday of each month, the Lego store has a “free mini build.” It’s ages 4-12, I believe, and usually begins at 5. Many people get in line early. At our Lego store, you didn’t used to have to wait in line early, but now it has gotten quite busy, and if you don’t get in line early, you won’t get it. BUT, our Lego Store has been kind enough to have a consolation prize if you didn’t get to do the mini-build. But, I’m certain that’s not the norm.
Victoria says
Favorite in our house for years too! Kids just the last year or two have finally out grown it. Our copies would get so ragged and falling apart and yet my kids would still not want to give them up.
Crystal Paine says
It’s going to be a sad day for me when they grow out of it… but I know it will be here someday! 🙁 I can totally relate to the ragged magazine thing!
