One LEGO activity for every day of the year, with a spinner and a countdown timer built right into the cover.
There's an activity for every day of the year here, and most of them are things to do rather than models to copy. Some are quick games with a handful of bricks. Others are challenges: race a friend to build the tallest tower before the timer runs out, invent a brick creature, rig up a stop-motion movie. A few are full builds. The cover has a wheel you spin to land on an activity at random, plus a countdown timer to race against, so a child standing over a full bin saying 'I'm bored' has an answer in about ten seconds. Every idea works with the ordinary bricks already in the house, no special set to buy. You dip in for one thing, do it, and come back tomorrow for the next.
A child who loves LEGO doesn't always want to sit and build a big model. Sometimes they just want a game or a dare, and this book keeps handing them one. Since it's a page a day and the wheel does the picking, there's no wall of text and no decision to stall on, which may be the whole reason a child who'd rather build than read will pick it up at all. It also gives you a way to say yes to 'entertain me' without having to run the activity yourself.
