My son is nine years old today and has been playing Minecraft for over a year. To say he's a fan is an understatement. In short, Minecraft is a "sandbox" video game whose main elements are pixelated 3D blocks that can be destroyed and re-assembled to infinity. One of the game's principles is to exploit natural resources to survive (food, shelter, etc.). The first real test is the first night when wild beasts prowl.

Minecraft is a game that stimulates children's imagination and allows them to invent worlds and other objects in the image of Lego.

Minecraft's strength is its community of millions. They produce a wide variety of content (such as textures, modified worlds, software, custom versions of the original game, etc.)! Therefore, the interest is continuously renewed, and everyone can contribute his (pixelated) stone to the building.

Note that the game has a semblance of a scenario with iconic creatures (like the Enderdragon), even if it is possible to play indefinitely without worrying about the story. Let's say it's the icing on the cake.

Magic is omnipresent in Minecraft (with spells and potions), and we regularly come across skeletons (and their bow), zombies (scary), or Creepers (explosives).

As for the music, it sets a fabulous soundscape. It's easy to immerse yourself!

The complete version is the one developed on PC and Mac.

Recently, a Story Mode version is available: these are adventures in several episodes.81ly-Nb0xmL._SY679_

Derivatives:

Minecraft's world is so rich and captivating that you won't be able to do without certain derivatives. I particularly like the Range of Lego that allows you to manipulate in the real world and invent stories away from the screens. 🙂

There are four Minecraft village guides to start and master the different aspects of the game. They are also inspiring:

They are also available in a box set.

THE STUFFED ANIMALS

What could be better than sleeping with a sheep, a pig, or an enderman for the latter, I confess to having had doubts as it is graceful, but finally, it is also a way to exorcise the fears of children!Minecraft stuffed animals

I gave this shirt to my son. It is of excellent quality:

And let's not forget the most impressive (and most expensive) box set: The mine.

"Real-life" foam tools and weapons allow children to invent scenarios by moving their entire bodies. Also, role-playing games allow them to simulate experiences and experience a variety of emotions. Note that all accessories are foam and, therefore, harmless.

For the record, we're talking about Minecraft In Real Life.

And even the torch that is illuminated and will serve as an extra nightlight for children (or a safe light source during night trips to the kingdom of the toilet). 🙂

Finally, here's the official Minecraft mug for a pixelated breakfast 🙂

Minecraft: an educational tool

Minecraft is so popular with children and teenagers that there is even a version for educators/teachers in the USA to learn while having fun: micreaftedu.com.

So much for my selection of Minecraft objects, which is still so successful with my son.

Minecraft is a rich world that fascinates children.

Don't hesitate to exchange and play with them to enrich the experience. It's captivating!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate.
