LEGO Ideas Book

We bought this book when it first came out and now that the price has dropped we're buying it for pretty much every birthday party we go to!Like other reviewers have said, this is a fantastic book and so different from most other Lego books (we do love a lot of those too). It's not a catalogue style book aimed at Lego collectors. Instead it's a book for all us passionate builders out there who like to make things by themselves. If you buy sets, build them and then put them on the shelf to admire them, then perhaps this is not for you. However, if you look at new Lego sets in terms of components and what you can do with them, then this book is a gem. It doesn't take away your own or your kids' creativity but gives you lots of inspiration and clever tips. My kids mainly love to build themselves scenes, ships and buildings for lots of minifigure action play and they've picked up lots of new ways of using bricks (like the great sideways spaceship wings) and discovered components that can be incorporated into ever more ambitious schemes (the collapsing drawbridge has been used in various ways in different buildings). We've also branched out into new areas of play... Inspired by the micro building, I managed to build a tiny house nightlight for my youngest.We also love the profiles of the designers of the models. It's nice to hear about other people's inspiration and obsessions. Lego is such a fantastic and enduring toy (some of our collection dates back almost 50 years) but a lot of the current stuff is so license heavy that you don't get many bricks for your money and it doesn't encourage as much open ended play. This book is a great template for not just for lego building but for other forms of creative play and visual art. I feel it is helping my kids to find their creative voices, by being stimulated, by finding inspiration, by learning (but not copying) from what others' have done and then doing it their own unique way.

Our 7 year old grandson loved this. It has many colourful pictures, a substantial hard cover and an abundance of ideas. He loves his Lego and to build all sorts of things, space ships, villages and cars. A great buy.

Ok, so this is basically a book with a load of lego creations in it - no instructions on how to build these. Not a problem For us as I knew this before ordering it. My daughter still likes looking through the book at all the different ideas (although she does get annoyed that she can't build them). I feel it's a more aimed at boys though, there's loads of medieval creations, castles, monsters, vehicles etc but nothing "princessy" or even remotely girly. Not very many animals in the book either.I think it's a really cool book to have! Most kids would love looking at all the pictures and it's good value for money, but thought it worth mentioning for people not sure.

I love this book it's a present for my grandsons birthday. The pictures are so vividly bright and detailed. It's a well made heavy book .

I lived this book. Lots and lots of ideas and inspiration for lego lovers of all ages. Would highly recommend.

This is a beautiful book lots of brilliant ideas but that's all there are if you are looking for instructions (like the ones that come in the lego box) this is not for you. It's a series of different pictures of things that can be made but not instructions on how to make them. When you have someone that likes following instructions to build this does work.

Got this for pur son who has asd and can struggle with imaginative play but loves lego. Its very good and it is exactly what it says 'ideas'. It is not a step by step like you would get with some of the small lego sets. There are different sections of the book with ideas for vehicles, houses and sturctures, mosaics, world adventure (pirate ship etc) etc. This was ideal for our son as he has a good grasp of how things go together but if your child needs step by step, this is not in the book. Highly recommend, will be buying more of these types of books for him.

We seem to have accumulated a lot of random Lego and this book is great for giving hubby direction and ideas of where to start. It’s not a step by step, it is a general ideas and then let your imagination go.

Great ideas, would expect for more detailed building instructions.

Very nice ideas, however it should have more instructions and require less "tailor-made" pieces for building

La recensione non appartiene a questo libro. Ma al Primo Dizionario di Richard Scarry. Lo avevo da piccola e l’ho ripreso per mia figlia . I personaggi sono molto simpatici e le storielle che spiegano il significato delle parole, carine.

Book was in good condition, just one corner dinged, and very useful starter for Lego projects.No detailed instruction as I thought but can work out most of what to do from the pictures.

Nos va a encantar poder utilizar las ideas que se exponen en este libro, que además se encuentra en perfecto estado. Para mi hijo, amante de las construcciones con lego va a ser todo una guía de proyectos.
