K’NEX – Toys For Every Age Review + Giveaway

Evan has really gotten into toys that he can build things with. It usually means we all work together to build fun projects and he is so proud of himself when he make something new. K’NEX has several building products for every age group. They sent us the Big Building Tub, the Sesame Street School House Building, the Vertical Viper, and the Pirate Adventure.

Big Building Tub

Packed with KID K’NEX parts for your favorite little builder! Colorful, chunky KID K’NEX blocks, rods and connectors are easy for little hands to stack, snap and plug together, allowing your child to build anything he can imagine. Building ideas for 11 models like a plane, sailboat, even the ABCs, are included. When playtime is over, store the parts in the handy storage tub for a quick and easy clean-up.

Features:

• 50 colorful, chunky KID K’NEX blocks, rods and connectors
• Easy for little hands to stack, snap and plug together
• Building ideas for 10+ models
• Handy storage tub

My favorite thing about this set is that it comes in its own tub! I hate having to go out and buy tubs that are “just the right size” for different playsets. These are the pieces that come with it.

It comes with several project ideas. Here is our fish.

Sesame Street School House Building

Let’s play school! Your child will enjoy hours of fun building the SESAME STREET School House – along with Elmo and Grover – and creating her own Sesame Street neighborhood! Includes “Play & Learn” activity sheet and additional building ideas. Loaded with 40 parts to build the School House, Elmo, Grover and a school bus crossing sign. Pairs perfectly with the Neighborhood Collection School Bus for lots of building fun and after building play. Look for all the Neighborhood Collection Building Sets so your child can build her own SESAME STREET Neighborhood!

Features:

• Your child can build the SESAME STREET Schoolhouse!
• 40 parts, including buildable Elmo and Grover.
• “Play & Learn” activity sheet.
• Additional building ideas.
• Works with the Neighborhood Collection School Bus.

It comes with several pieces to build the school. We actually have another K’NEX Sesame Street set, so this goes perfectly with it.

I do wish that it came with its own case or tub to keep the pieces in. Since we have another Sesame Street set, I went out and bought a larger tub to combine the two sets in. Both kids love playing with these characters and we will be buying more sets to make a larger neighborhood.

Pirate Adventure

Ahoy mate! With the new Pirate Adventure building set, you can build 20 different pirate-themed models! Or use your imagination to create your own adventure. Over 350 parts, including a pirate K’NEXman complete with hat and sword. Instructions/ideas for 20 unique models included.

Features:

• Build & rebuild 20 different pirate-themed models
• Pirate K’NEXman included
• Includes Instructions/ideas

This set is amazing. You can build over 20 different pirate themed projects that are sure to be a big hit.

With so many pieces, the options are really endless!

Vertical Viper

Collect & Build Vertical Viper, #2 of 3 in the new Amusement Park Series! Motorized for exciting performance that sends the car up the chain lift and speeding down the track! This set comes with over 300 parts, primarily rods & connectors, to build a K’NEX thrill ride that stands over 1.5 feet tall! And if you collect Corkscrew Coaster and the Ferris Wheel (sold separately), you can have a working amusement park right in your home! Recommended for builders ages 7+. Requires 2 “AA” batteries, not included.

Features:

• #2 of 3 in the new Amusement Park Series
• Comes with motor and over 300 parts
• Combine with Corkscrew Coaster and the Ferris Wheel for a working amusement park (each sold separately)
• For ages 7+
• Requires 2 “AA” batteries, not included

This set is a little “old” for Evan to put together, but once it is up, he has fun playing with it. Having all of the sets in the Amusement Park Series would be a lot of fun and would provide hours of entertainment.

I am always amazed at all of the products that K’NEX has to offer. They really do have something for every child on your list. Be sure to visit K’NEX to view all of their products.
