123 I can build

My boys love to create things and so we enjoyed looking through 123 I Can Build, written by Irene Luxbacher.  There are several projects that are kid-friendly and encourage kids to use their imagination.  Included are step-by-step directions on how to complete the projects, along with pictures.  My favorites were the Mushroom Mansion, the Ice Castle, and a Perfect Palace!  This book is perfect for the young artist in your home.

    My 6 year old loves to “build” and create. He’s the kid that, at 8:30 at night, will say “Mom, let’s build a robot!”. Gotta love the enthusiasm. I know he’d love this book.

    I want to win because my older son is showing a huge interest in building and inventing things. I want to encourage that in him, so he’ll invent something awesome, get rich, and take good care of me when I’m old.
