The Lego Boost Idea Book: 95 Simple Robots and Hints for Making More!

This is a great book. It is absolutely what is needed as an add-on to the Lego Boost. If your child can easily follow regular Lego instructions but also likes to free build and invent their own stuff then this is a must-have book to go with the Boost. The instructions and images are well set out and rather than just (blindly) following instructions they help a child understand the mechanics they are working with, how stuff works, and to get help with a basic idea/mechanics whilst having the freedom to be creative and bring their own ideas to life. Well worth the money, great quality and size. I think my son (age 9) found one or two minor errors which he pointed out to me but many products have small errors and it gives the opportunity to talk about: 1. How no one is perfect and we do not need to achieve perfection 2. How to figure something out for yourself.

I love this book as it encourages readers to use their creativity to make different models. I would highly recommend this book as I have been using this book to teach Lego boost to my 4 years old son who is now 5 to make models in a short time. The original Lego models are excellent but they are time consuming for young children. This book has built confidence in my son that he is now able to create his own simple models without referring to any resource and I believe that is the real power of this book.

Bought this book as a lockdown treat for my 9 year old. He loves building the robots and learning to code them. It has brought a new lease of life to his Lego boost set. The instructions are a little hard to follow, but with a bit of patience he has managed all the builds on his own so far. Highly recommended

Younger kids really enjoyed making the simple designs. Helps them (and grown ups...) understand basics of gears, programming controls etc in much more fundamental but still fun way vs the main Boost models. Also felt easier for them to be more creative adding on to the basic designs vs with the more sophisticated Lego base models. Highly recommend!

My son (5 yo) loves the Lego Boost Idea Book and has started enjoying his LEGO Boost even more! Before the book, he completed all the Boost robots, but didn't quite understand what he is doing in the LEGO Boost app. Now with this book, the step by step approach into various functions of the hub and how you can program it makes huge difference! I also really like that there are no brink-by-brick instructions like every LEGO has, but my son needs to figure out how the robot works in order to build it. I strongly recommend buying this book!

This is a tremendously good book. Inspired my 7 year old. The projects are often small and simple (compared with the original Boost models) but demonstrate what Boost can really do and encourage new creative models. Good instructions (different from standard Lego step-by-step). Highly recommended.

A quick flick through this book and we could tell it is as good as all Yoshihito Isogawa previous books. My grandson & I have already started building the first ones. Can't wait to work through them all with my 4yr old grandson.

My grandson liked the easy to follow instructions

Hace unos meses le compré a mi hijo de 5 años el Lego Boost, y utilizando la tablet montamos los modelos que por defecto ofrece la aplicación que son super divertidos y muy completos. Pero le vi dos problemas: - Primero cada modelo es super complicado y su montaje lleva bastantes horas, por lo que cuando terminamos, la mayor parte de las veces mi hijo ha olvidado cuál era el objetivo inicial. - Para el montaje hay que usar la tablet, y personalmente no me gusta que pase tanto tiempo mirando una pantalla, entiendo que para la parte de la programación es indispensable pero el montaje no está justificado. Este libro arregla esos dos problemas: - Tiene muchos modelos tanto sencillos como complejos, organizados por temas desde lo básico (movimientos básicos del motor principal, combinaciones de engranajes para transformar movimientos o aumentar y disminuir fuerzas) y por ultimo una parte final donde se complica mas utilizando los sensores de manera mas completa. - Cada modelo que montas tiene sus lista de piezas necesarias y explica el principio básico que va mostrar y que vas a comprobar con el montaje, muchas veces con el título es suficiente. Como se tarda poco montar, en seguida ves el resultado y puedes pasar al siguiente y al ser conceptos aislados, aunque algunos sean complejos, son más fáciles de entender por mi hijo. - Solo hay que utilizar la tablet cuando es necesario, y el libro te muestra la secuencia de instrucciones que debes introducir para probarlo. En resumen si te gusto el Lego Boost y quieres sacarle el máximo provecho este libro es el punto de partida.

Lego Boost è un gioco fantastico, infatti p stato premiato come GIOCO DELL'ANNO alla fiera del giocattolo di NEw York. In particolare è un gioco fantastico perchè conserva tutte le qualità di LEGO, in più ha la longevità. LA confezione infatti permette di costruire 5 diversi modelli perfettamente funzionanti e capaci di interagire con le pratiche del coding. Grazie a questo libro, le possibilità di costruire nuovi modelli e nuovi sistemi aumentano enormemente! Consigliatissimo per i bambini che amano costruire, e ricostruire, e ricostruire... all'infinito con gli stessi SET! e poi giocarci con la APP

I bought a Lego boost kit a couple of months back, and my nephew took an instant liking to it. My 4-year-old nephew pretty much completed every set given in the app and the instructions. I then heard about this book from a friend and bought it (a little expensive, to be honest). It's helped a lot - it adds more examples for my nephew to do, and he gets to spend more time with Lego, while not getting bored. In those terms, it's a pretty decent addition, as it adds to the value of a ~10K Lego boost kit.

This book doesn’t have instructions, so I was concerned my son would find it frustrating. This is not the case at all. There are plenty of pictures that my 6yo is able to recreate the projects with very little help. The projects are super fun! It has inspired him to try his own creations, whereas before he was only interested in following instructions. The book also includes some coding suggestions for each of the projects. This is a great addition to his Boost set.

The only Lego book (or author - he has probably more similar books) worth to buy
