The Lego Ideas Book Will Keep You & Your Kids Building!

    


Who doesn't love Lego? Whether you are young or old, there's nothing like expressing your creativity by building something with these well-known little bricks and pieces. 

The Lego Ideas Book features a myriad of things to make. Whether you want to build a monster truck, a castle bridge, animals or spaceships, you are guaranteed to find something that will get your creative juices flowing in this 200 page hardcover book. They even have useful build ideas to make organizers for things like pens and pencils, and to make your own picture frame out of your Lego pieces. 

You will find special sections in the book like Meet The Builder, which includes interview questions and answers from the Master Builders themselves. There are also sections that go into essential & alternative pieces to use and brick tips to get your own builds started. 

Many of the builds are relatively detailed. To copy the build ideas piece for piece, you would require an extensive array of Lego pieces, and experience that is not likely in a young child. But with an adult alongside, or for older kids, these ideas are easily adaptable to the pieces that one would already have in their collection.  As with The Lego Play Book, it would be nice to see some female oriented builds to balance out the creations already in the book, to coincide with the Lego Friends Lego sets and such. All in all this is a great educational book that my son has enjoyed looking at. He has spent a lot of time going through all the pages one by one and taking it all in. It would be of great interest to many. It's amazing what these builders come up with!  

The Lego Ideas Book is one of the many titles that DK Books Canada has featured this month in their March Break Boutique.  This title retails for $27.99CAN, but you might be able to find it for a better price at your local book store as it is a couple of years old.  

Happy building!
