Minecraft for Dummies

March Break is coming Mamas! Do you have activities planned for the kiddos yet? I have a few things in the works, but I know that my boys will be looking for lots of down time too, and their favourite down time activity is playing Minecraft with their brothers. When all I can hear in the house is mooing coming from the basement, I know my boys are getting along well and building worlds only they can dream up!


The boys will be polishing up their game and taking it to new heights this March Break with this set of Minecraft for Dummies books from Wiley! The portable guides are perfect for readers in the clutches of the Minecraft phenomenon wanting to enhance their gaming experience, or for parents who are feeling a little lost! (ahem…like me!)

Minecraft is the sandbox construction game that has become a mainstream phenomenon with over a hundred million players. A virtually infinite world and versatile style of play offer endless possibilities for both the hard core gamer and novice.

My boys are super excited to get started on a big build together, the oldest has been making a list of all the things he wants to create and has been gathering ideas from the whole family! Dad and I have been helping him out by thinking up things we would put in our own dream home or cottage by the lake!
