21 Best Lego Books for Kids to Inspire Your Mini Lego Builder
Inside: 21 of the best Lego books for kids, perfect for inspiring hours of play with hundreds of Lego projects and challenges.
Our girls are total Lego lovers! And while they enjoys building from the commercially produced sets, they also love building from their own imaginations. They create entire cities that then fuel hours of imaginative play. In fact, these cities have completely taken over our spare bedroom.
When we happened to come across a Lego ideas book at our local library, it totally opened their minds to so many MORE ideas! The book inspired so much building that we actually had to beg my parents for the big tub of Lego from my own childhood that they had at their house…as we were running a little low!
Since then we have reserved a whole series of Lego books via the local library and school library. I love that these books inspire building alongside reading for information and fact finding too. Today I thought I would share the best Lego books we have found so far in the hope of inspiring a Lego lover you know to get creative with their Lego building ideas.
