About the LEGO bricks

Only the most common bricks are used in Build It! models, so children don't have to go hunting for obscure parts.

Each Build It! book lists the LEGO® sets originally used to build the models on the back cover and in the retailer's description. Since LEGO® regularly updates its product line, the exact sets I used may no longer be available.

That’s perfectly fine—an exact copy isn’t the goal. What matters is that your child has a set of classic bricks to explore, adapt, and make each model their own.

To make it easy, I’ve highlighted the current LEGO® Classic sets on the market that provide a great mix of pieces for all the builds in my books. Click the sets and accessories below for recommended product information.
