Ultimate Dot-to-Dot Minecraft Style

 

Being a mom of two boys, and an avid gamer myself, there are few games I know as well as Minecraft. What began as a test to see if I would like the game, very quickly evolved into both boys playing along side me as we work to build the biggest and most lavish house, or the deepest mine. Trying to keep the children and myself from spending too much time on the games we love is something that has become harder as they have gotten older. I've tried and failed to use their love of games to cause interest in other things. Transitioning a child's love for technology over into a love of something else is a challenge, one that Barron's books has seemed to take on, and accomplish many times over.

Barron's recently sent me the Ultimate Dot-to-Dot Minecraft puzzle book to review and I was quick to check it out before my sons snatched it away from me. My oldest in one of those children who solve all of the puzzles in a coloring/activity book, before coloring any of the pictures. Cant blame him, I was always the same way. The book features 40 different puzzles, some having up to 1000 dots! What's great is that the world of Minecraft is designed perfectly for dot-to-dot, its all straight lines! The puzzles feature familiar scenes that gamers would have come across while playing the games themselves. Scenes like the Ender Dragon, a pig, different biome scenes, and many scenes featuring the enemies that, despite our best efforts, gamers have grown to love. 

 

Ultimate Dot-to-Dot Minecraft has dots that are color coded so that the page isn't a huge mess of numbers, it is recommended that you use a pencil, this ensures that you wont accidentally cover any numbers while solving, and also so that you can erase any mistakes made in haste. I used colored pencils, it was a personal choice so that I could hide lines when I colored it later. The book has the solutions in the back which can be used to help solve the puzzle, and also for color inspirations. Barron's has created a great gift for kids of any age and a super fun way to spend some down time!
