Inspiring LEGO Creativity - LEGO Ideas Book Giveaway
Monday, February 4, 2013 at 5:00AM
One of the many benefits of playing with LEGO bricks is the sheer VOLUME of creativity that abounds.
My children recently worked together to build a LEGO house. They had a firepit, crib for the baby, toilet, and shower. The master suite was connected to the nursery. Everything was carefully crafted.
They were COLLABORATING, PLANNING, and LEARNING. It was a moment where I just stood back and listened - thankful for those colorful little bricks and the ENDLESS hours of enjoyment and creativity they bring.
Our favorite inspiration for LEGO creativity is The Lego Ideas Book, which we purchased just a few months ago to use in a LEGO class I taught at our homeschool co-op.
This book has been the SINGLE BEST LEGO INVESTMENT we have made. It gets used almost daily, and is full of ideas for building just about anything you want.
This book
Sections Include:
- Planes, Trains & Automobiles
- Town & Country
- Out of This World
- In Days of Old
- A World of Adventure
- Make & Keep
.... and more!
I just had to share this resource with my fellow LEGO lovers.
It's made a huge difference in the way my son and daughter play with LEGOS.

I have two Lego lovers, ages 9 and 5. They build or play with their Legos every single day! Their favorite sets are the LOTR sets, but other than those, they really like to just make their own unique creations.

We have three Lego lovers in our house, me and my two sons. Playing and building Legos has to be our favorite thing to do, especially this time of year. I kept all the Legos from my childhood so we have some of the old stuff as well as the new. The room above our garage is decked out with a little town complete with the battery powered Lego train. The book sounds great, thanks for the opportunity to win it, my boys are 6 and 9 and I think it would be right up their alley.

My son is so in love with legos, he had me do a lego themed birthday party for him and he has loved and gotten a lot of use out lego creationary. His passion is also trains so when he saw that lego makes a lego train I think he was over the top excited.
I have two Lego fanatics and a little Lego princess following the lead of her older siblings.

I have three boys 6 and under. We gave up trying to keep lego sets organized because my boys utilize all the set pieces to create amazing, imagniative works of art! Pretty much any gift these little guys save up for or recieve is lego-related, and I am happy about this!

He loves to make cars out of his, so for his birthday will be getting him some wheel parts. Thanks for the chance to win - my son really needs this book! :)
