How LEGO Books and Klutz Kits Build Creativity and Critical Thinking Skills

Oct 22, 2025

When your child plays with LEGO blocks and then reads about the characters in engaging LEGO books, they have the chance to connect rich narratives to their favorite toys. 

Doing so not only sparks their imagination and creativity during play (and may even encourage them to write their own stories about unique LEGO characters), but it also makes reading more enticing for them. When kids create favorite characters from LEGO books with their own blocks, they’re also sharpening their critical thinking skills — and practicing problem-solving and attention to detail.  

For Ninjago-obsessed little ones, LEGO: Ninjago Nya's Powers Activity Book comes with exciting comics, fun puzzles, and a mini figure! Meanwhile, the awesome LEGO Book of Fun is full of holiday-themed stories, comics and activities featuring all of your family's favorite LEGO characters. 

Your child can go on adventures, solve puzzles, and build mini figures with these titles: 

And don't forget to check out the Klutz LEGO Kits — where physics meets fun! The bestselling Klutz: LEGO Gravity Drop lets kids roll, bounce, rebound, and rebuild with LEGO bricks, sparking creativity and hands-on learning. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just because, the Kltuz LEGO kits are a gift that builds both excitement and brainpower!

But overall, perhaps one of the important things your child will gain from LEGO books is the love of reading. After all, when kids get to choose the books they read based on their favorite toys, they’re more likely to stick with reading and build their skills.
