Bonnie Burton’s Star Wars Crafts Book
One of our geekiest crafty pals, Bonnie Burton, wrote the awesome Star Wars Crafts book that is chock full of geeky crafts to make on your own or with your kids. Projects include Jabba the Hutt body pillow, Chewbacca puppets and more.
The Cult of Lego by John Baichtal and Joe Meno
Any Lego fan will appreciate this richly detailed book on the history and pop culture of Lego. Even though the book is geared toward the adult fans of Lego, my 7-year-old son devoured the book when it arrived and hasn’t let me get my hands on it since. It’s beautifully made and is the kind of book you keep picking up and learning new things every time you look through it.
World of Geekcraft by Susan Beal
I’m not including this book just because I have a project in it, I promise. This is hands-down one of my all-time favorite craft books, and will give all your favorite geeks endless inspiration for making geeky projects.
