More entertaining for my 5-year-old than expected5
Since the content is only basic geometry, I thought this set would just be an introductory steppingstone into more sophisticated KNEX sets (e.g., Simple Machines). But even after my 5-year-old raced through all the geometry exercises, she still plays constantly with this set, making all sorts of original shapes, which has extended her sense of geometry. It also gives her lots of fine motor exercise. She even has incorporated her creations with her other toys like blocks and Polly Pockets. There is much more creative potential in this set than I expected, so it has served as an excellent intro to KNEX. I’m looking forward to what my daughter does with the Simple Machines kits.

Also, unlike other similar science kits I have purchased, the KNEX design is extremely durable. The plastic holds up well under lots of unkind twisting and pulling, and it is just as good as it was on the first day.

Endless fun5
I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old and both love this toy. My 5 year says that it is “awesome”. They have played with the Kid K’nex for at least an hour every day for the last month with no signs of stopping.

The pieces are large (unlike the tiny K’nex for older children) and easily manipulated with small hands. This makes them great for fine motor skills practice.

I love that my children are using their imagination to create a variety of objects, both real and invented. My husband even joins in the play and makes his own designs. The set does come with illustrations of suggested creations, but my kids didn’t look at them and I think that this allowed them to be more creative.

Although this set is marketed for educational settings (I learned about them at my son’s preschool), I highly recommend buying one for home. At first glance it may appear expensive but it is a great value because kids play with it alot. This is not the $10 toy that is already gathering dust a week later.

Enjoy this toy and the imagination that it brings out in your children!

Fun and educational in many ways!5
I discovered Kid K’Nex while working as a preschool teacher. I noticed how the kids not only used the provided pictures to make little creatures, but they also used their imaginations to make many other things, like suns, flowers, cups with straws, etc. They even made workout dumbells! I decided to buy these for my 3-year-old great-niece, and she loves them! She can easily play with them herself (with supervision), but I have a lot of fun playing with her and creating new things as well. These toys are great for fine motor skills, color recognition and imaginative play. They also keep the children’s attention for a long time. The set does have small parts, so be there when children are playing with them, and make sure the kids are 3 or older. All in all – an excellent value!

Fun for All4
This was a gift for one of our grandsons, but the whole family – grandma and grandpa included – have had fun with it. It is an excellent activity for children to look at an item as a whole and then find all the individual parts it takes to make a whole. It also can be a very creative tool allowing the child to make new and interesting creations. Even for the younger child, it provides educational play….separating the parts by color or shape, counting how many of each shape there are and which number is greater or lesser…..can occupy a four year old for hours! Good buy.
