Bust Out Your Legos with The Lego Play Book!

Lego Play is a book you want to get if your kids (or yourself! - who are we kidding?) enjoy playing with Legos! This 200 page book features over 500 tips and tricks on building, and has over 200 build ideas! You can do simple builds to complex builds and everything in between! You can also find several 10-minute build ideas too. You will find build ideas from Tropical Fish on page 120 to a Spooky Circus Train on page 132. You can build a variety of Ice Cream Stalls found on page 170 to Alphabet Creatures on page 108. There are dinosaurs, castles, race tracks, hotel pool scenes and so many other things in between!

In a day and age where kids are plugged into anything and everything, this is a great way to get back to the simple things in life. A life where kids (and/or adults! LOL) use their own imagination and creativity to make something with their own hands and minds. Not something that is created with a keypad, a  mouse, or a finger swipe! (Not that that is always bad either!)

This is also a great book to bond over, because let's face it - we all need more reasons to sit down with our kids and spend more quality time as a family. Life is short and they don't stay kids forever. Even if you yourself  vow and pledge to be a kid forever! LOL 

While I wish that the book included the build instructions for each one, I love that there is a trouble shooting page which answers questions such as what to do if you don't have a speicifc piece, what you can build based on what kind of bricks you have, in addition to what you can build based on time you have available. Additionally, Ialso like section that breaks down the various Lego pieces, such as moving pieces and SNOT pieces. (For the record, they are not booger pieces, LOL they stand for Studs Not on Top!)

In addition to the instructions for each build, I would have liked to see a number of options that are more traditionally female. Seeing that most of the content is traditionally  male oriented, it would be nice to see more variety in builds catering to all genders, allowing you as the buyer , to make the most of the book no matter the gender of you kids, or what your child(ren)'s interests might be. 

Though this book is geared towards kids ages 7-15yrs, it can easily be used by children potentially as young as 4yrs, assuming they have some help and guidance from adults. And it can always be used by adults of any age too! :)
