LEGO® Awesome Ideas

The book is a nice idea and my eldest has enjoyed reading it. He's managed to make quite a few of the designs and I really like the way an early design is build upon to form a component of a larger thing (space door, then space platform, etc). I'd recommend the book, but with some hopefully useful notes:1. Don't expect the level of detail you'll get in a lego kit. Obvious, I know, but the kids expectations will need managing as they might well expect this. The drawings are broken down usually into 2 or 3 photos though so with a bit of work they're reproducible. Consequently, probably better for more experience builders.2. You'll need a pretty diverse and comprehensive set of Lego to complete all of the designs. I thought we had a lot (must have about 20 kits and a couple of generic boxes) but our kids didn't have the bits to fully complete about half of the designs. They can improvise of course, but depends how flexible your kids are (mine are perfectionists so not flexible at all!)

This book gives you a wide variety of ideas and good photos of each model so you can see various stages of each assembly however you will probably find that you will not have all the parts available to you for each idea.

This was bought for my six year old grandson as a Christmas present. After looking through it I am sure he will be stimulated to create some amazing models enhanced by his own imaginative additions. The cover just makes you want to look inside and the contents are arranged in an exciting and colourful way with interesting sections of text which I am sure he will enjoy reading. Altogether this seems to be a good quality book that will be dipped into over and over again.

I was expecting this book to give step by step instructions. It doesn't. All you'll get are pictures of what you could build provided you can figure out how to do it!!

Loads of great ideas to do while sitting at the weekend and so on. My husband and children have built many of the different little things from this book and had a wonderful time bonding while working together

There no instructions! It's just to give you an idea. You need to work it out. You can use blocks that got already or order new ones.

Bought as a present for a 9 year old. He was very pleased with it.
