My Thoughts

A couple of years ago I had the privilege to review an out-of-the-ordinary Lego book which encouraged you and/or your kids to build Christmas ornaments.   Today I am presenting you the second volume of The Lego Christmas Ornaments Book which contains 16 new designs to spread Holiday cheer in your tree.

In this book, you will find instructions to make the following ornaments: Santa, reindeer, Mr. Snow, Mrs. Snow, gingerbread man, gingerbread house, confetti tree, crinkle, chime, blizzard, pendant, swirl, twist, crane game, ‘90s PC, and fries.   Some of these ideas make sense to me while others not so much… but hey there are crazy ornaments out there to purchase so why not put a pack of fries in the tree right?

 

 

Each ornament will list the bricks that you will need as well as clear instructions on how to build it. The images demonstrating how to build the ornament are very big and will be easy to follow by anyone who desire to make a new ornament for the tree.  You might have to purchase a bunch of special items like the pieces allowing you to hang the ornaments in your tree but most of the bricks listed are often included in regular Lego products.

This book is definitively perfect to add a special touch in your Christmas tree and keep your kids occupied while decorating the tree with something they have made.   These ornaments will add a little bit of pizzazz in your tree for sure!

The Lego Christmas Ornaments Book Volume 2 is available for purchase at your favorite bookstore, even on amazon.ca and amazon.com.

About the book

This Christmas, LEGO is moving from under the tree to on the tree! With The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book as your guide, you’ll make classic globe and barrel ornaments, all out of LEGO, as well as original gingerbread houses, a charming wreath, arcade cabinets, and many more.

Packed with step-by-step instructions for 15 charming builds, The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book is the perfect family activity this holiday season.

My Thoughts

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.

The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book is available for purchase at any bookstore, even on amazon.ca and amazon.com.
