Great concept but I have no idea where to find the 35 pieces needed to build these items. I even went to the Lego store to try and purchase the pieces but they were too specialized I couldn't find them. The book is just collecting dust for now.
Looking for the pieces? The author has a link from his website to a guy making up kits of the 35 pieces for 12.00. It took a while to receive but I got it. My almost 5 year old and I have made the vacuum and the preying mantis so far. The 35 piece builds are short enough that he stays interested and I was pleased to see him do the mantis head and body himself while I did the legs. The pieces are tiny ... So an extra set might be smart. I love that the whole book is the same pieces. Makes us think about how they can be used. My only wish is that there was step by steps for each model ... My little guy isn't ready to build from the picture :-)
LEGO pieces can be used to create wonderful objects, using the right combinations. But knowing how to piece them together can be a challenge for kids. In Cool Creations in 35 Pieces, master LEGO artist, Sean Kenney, has documented procedures for building robots, spacecraft, buildings, furniture and household objects, vehicles, animals, and aliens.Kenney has only used thirty-five pieces for all of these LEGO models. Kids are encouraged to build his sculptures, but also to re-combine these pieces to create new works of art of their own. And if these models inspire you, check out Kenney's other books on LEGO creations. This would be a perfect book for the creative LEGO builder in your home.Reviewer: Alice Berger
Great book, some pieces are not in basic kits so, that makes it a little bit harder to complete the projects.
Wondering what to do with the boxes of Legos that many children have? This is a great way to stir imagination and begin building items other than what the formal instructions provide for. Our 4 year-old loves to look at the pictures and has come up with his own unique inventions.
The concept of this book-Lego creations requiring 35 or fewer lego pieces-is pretty cool. But I didn't realize every creation was made of the same 35 specific Legos. We didn't have those 35 specific pieces, so we couldn't make anything in the book. I'd love to see Kenney make another similar book but using different sets of 35 pieces in the future*I got a free copy of this book to review on my blog, but was not required or even asked to review it on .
I purchased this for use in an elementary school library. The kids are immediately captivated by the cover and pore over the contents. There's a website where you can purchase a kit of the 35 pieces through the author; but most are easily available at the LEGO Pick a brick store online. Highly recommended.
We have other Lego books by Sean Kenney. He generates great books with excellent pictures and easy to follow instructions that my 7 year old can follow and be entertained by for hours. Great book and also look through his other books and consider getting them as well.
