Fun activity to do this year for Advent
When I saw this book, I knew it would be a great activity to do during the Advent season this year. And I am not disappointed whatsoever with the possibilities of new ornaments in our Christmas tree. In all you will find fifteen beautiful creations to make with your kids this Christmas season and once you are done you can hang them in your Christmas tree for all to enjoy.The table of content clearly identify which ornaments can be done with this book: poinsettia, snowflake, wreath, present, Christmas tree, gingerbread house, barrel, ball, bow, frill, lantern, arcade, computer, camera, and burger.Each ornament start with a list (with images) of the pieces of LEGO you will need to collect in order to make it. Then, the author clearly illustrate the steps for make the ornament itself. However, if you have mixed up pieces of LEGO the only thing you will need to have would be patience while you dig the ones you will need. Some ornaments might require special pieces of LEGO but rest assure that if you really need to build the ornament you can always order individual components from the LEGO website. The book clearly identify the piece number in the list of pieces needed for the ornaments.As I perused the book I have identified the ones that I really like – the Christmas tree, the burger and the camera. These are my own personal favorite but they are all special in many ways. I can’t hardly wait until the first day of Advent to take this book out and give it to my kids so that they can have fun building out-of-the-ordinary ornaments for the family this year.If you are looking for a fun activity to do this Christmas season with your kids, why not getting the LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book and let them explore a whole new way of building with LEGO. This will definitely bring numerous memories for years to come.

No Starch Press’ latest LEGO book is adorable. The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book by Chris McVeigh contains 15 Christmas themed models in two groups. The design of the geometric hanging ornaments is really inspired. The second half has instructions for several micro-objects, like an old-school arcade machine, an tiny desktop PC, and a SLR style camera. Adorable.
Like most of the things No Starch Press does, I love this book. The photos are gorgeous and the book itself is a nice square hardback. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. My five year old son and I easily built the gingerbread house together (pictured above, with a few color swaps). I’d say a typically eight year old could do most of the models with only minor assistance.
My only complaint, and really this goes for most of the LEGO books, is the challenge of getting the right pieces. Most models in the book require at least a couple of specialty pieces, in most cases multiples and in specific colors. The average child simply won’t have enough of these pieces to build a model. Even I (an adult with decades of LEGOS) had to substitute a few pieces for ones I didn’t have.
In short, few people have the exact pieces to build these models without specifically ordering them for the project from a website like BrickLink and BrickOwl, or the rare times that a LEGO Store’s Pick a Brick wall has what you need.
