Books always seem to make it onto my Christmas purchase list, although this year I've only bought one so far as a gift - The Lego Ideas Book. It's for my nephew, to go along with the handmade pillow I sewed for him. It's a fantastic book and I thought I'd share some pages with you, for all the die hard Lego fans out there!
The book is divided into sections - ideas for building cars, houses, animals, etc... Each section has a double page that details some of the Lego pieces you'll need to recreate the ideas that follow.
There are some super cool ideas inside, but my favourite would have to be the very cool house with furniture. I'm sure that will be my nephew's least favourite part!
I thought this siege was an easy idea for an army style set up:
Other than buildings, cars, trains and other interest Lego creations, towards the back section of the book there are ideas for pencil holders, CD stackers and all sorts of other goodness to build.
Oh, and fabulous Lego storage building ideas too! We have several Lego books in our house and this is definitely one that I'll be adding to our own collection some time.
Confession: I also bought the 2012 Lego Calendar, ready for next year. It's really cool with lots of interesting Lego dioramas photographed inside! Ahh, Lego - we love you!
P.S. I'll soon be sharing photos of the 16+ Lego Fire Station that we bought while we were away. The detail is amazing!
