Awesome LEGO creations with bricks you already have

Sarah Dees

Reading: Choose a project together, gather suitable bricks, and work through the pictured steps at your own pace. For a photo-only challenge, treat the image as a starting point and let the builder decide whether to follow or adapt it.
Themes: Building and making: Projects range from step-by-step, photo-supported builds to challenges guided only by a photo. The book presents building as a practical activity and includes both guided and less-directed ways to make models.
Playful battles and working models: The knights-and-dragons projects include a battle and working catapult and crossbow builds. These elements occur as part of model-making and imaginative play; whether the book treats the battle approvingly, critically or simply as make-believe is not established.
Worth knowing: Some projects include a working catapult and crossbow, within a knights-and-dragons section. A parent may wish to look over those builds and discuss how they are used in play.
