There are indeed 365 activities in this book! What I like best is that there many different types of activities: single and multiplayer games, building challenges, and learning concept exploration (coined “discovery” activities). There are no instructions, just jumping of points and “tips as you build” which allows for kids to use their own creativity when tackling projects. I will say there are a lot of specialty pieces used in this book of ideas, but there are also plenty of ideas that can be tackled with a cup of LEGOs from the pick-a-part wall or the "left overs" box. – Alexis S.

LEGO makes the best books. I don't think there's one that I've read that I haven't been inspired by. You really can't go wrong with any of their nonfiction building idea books.

I got this book to play Lego with my 6 year old grandson. There are indeed 365 projects to do. All fun and of varying skill levels. Had a blast making stuff with him, a really good bonding moment. Recommend this book it’s full of great ideas.

Not exactly riveting story time reading when your toddlers insist you read it to them at bedtime (!!), but I can see how an avid LEGO builder will find value in this one.

I need this book in my block area- do kids make cars and houses all day? This resource gives suggestions with some stepped guidance for those who wish it.

Love the variety of ideas, truly for collections big and small, as well as side notes about special pieces. My favorite book of Lego ideas so far and we've gone through A LOT-

This book has all sorts of cool things to do with Lego bricks. There are games you can make for both single or multi-player, as well as building challenges you can try. There are all sorts of things you can build for yourself such as a weekly planner that uses mini figures for each member of the family and a working mini battleship game. There are accessories for your home, some more practical than others. There's a desk organizer that looks very useful but also a kitchen utensil holder that makes me cringe a bit when I think of trying to keep it clean. There are also various Lego contraptions to make which sound like they'd be super fun for kids. Heck, I'm 37 and I think a paper airplane launcher would be fun to play with so it should be even better for kids. Overall, I think if you are a fan of Lego that this book will provide you with plenty of inspiring ways to use for collection.
