Our Favorite LEGO Birthday Present

 

There is one LEGO resource that is used over and over in our home.

Whenever my son is invited to a birthday party for a child his age, I always ask if the child has this one LEGO treasure. 

It just so happens that one of my son's friends turned 9 this past weekend.

Our present choice was EASY. The child likes LEGOS.

 *This post contains affiliate links. 

This present provides hours upon hours of creative inspiration for any LEGO lover.

It is a springboard for so many great projects, and my son is always excited to share it with his friends.

In fact, I've blogged before about how this book inspires creativity in my son. 

 

The LEGO Ideas Book provides thousands of building ideas. 

Some are simple, and some are complex. There's something for everyone.

 

Each page is laid out to teach, inspire, and delight. 

{And for less than $20, this is an affordable present, too.}

Wrap the book, and then print a cute LEGO card to attach. Let your child personalize it on the inside, and you're ready for the birthday party.

And I guarantee you, the birthday child will ENJOY this gift! 

As a DK Blogger, I am happy to be able to give away one copy of the LEGO Ideas Book this week!  Please follow the Rafflecopter widget below to enter. 

While you're at it, check out all of the wonderful DK books that you can use in your homeschool. We love them, and I'm going to be happily share many with you this year! 


 *Also be sure to stop by my LEGO Learning page for free printables, reviews, and other goodies.

My son loves to build with LEGOs. But he usually follows the directions on the box. I think this book would give him a new way of looking at the LEGOs!!! I would love for him to expand his creativity!!! What a GREAT book!! Thanks for the giveaway!!

One son will only build with plans, while the other will build whatever he thinks up. It usually has little gadgets on it from ray guns to cannons to nicers, which shoots niceness at bad guys to make them be nice - haha!

My kids love building with plans!

August 15, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLindsay

My children love to make banks to hold their treasures!

My son, Daniel, creates machines that do many different things. They tend to fly, or zap, or take over planets. They are intricate and only he understands them. He will take several minutes explaining the parts to you. He will also takes weeks perfecting them. He still, even at 15, builds many things with his Legos.

My son loves to build cars and planes with his legos, but really anything he can.

Both my dd and ds love Legos! My son is currently really wanting some star wars sets, but he likes to build just about anything Lego! {As a side note, I had trouble commenting on this post. I had to click on "122 comments" before it would let me leave one myself. Just in case someone has trouble!)
