Countdown To Christmas: K’NEX

I remember K'NEX from when I was a child. I am so glad to see that my kids will actually be able to enjoy their toys too! They have expanded the ages that their toys are for, so I am excited to be able to show you (and review) some of their new product lines.

The Abby Cadabby Building Set is designed for kids two to five years old. It is a 30 piece building set. It also comes with a play and learn activity sheet. This set has everything a little girl needs for for Abby. There is a tulle skirt and pink fairy wings. There is also a flowery wand and a pigtails. I love the size of the pieces in here; I don't have to worry about Madison's little brother getting into this and trying to eat it. Madison could easily put the set together. This is very reasonably priced too — only $14.99. This building set also teaches hand eye coordination, role playing, and cognitive skills.

This Elmo Building Set is super cute too. It's for ages two to five. This is a 14-15 piece set that also comes with a sticker and activity sheet. Though I have to admit, my favorite piece of this kit is the fishtank. I can't get over how cute it is! This is available in four fun sets: Elmo with Dorothy, Ernie with his rubber duckie, Cookie Monster, and Oscar with Slimey the Worm. What I love the best about this is that the packaging looks like Elmo too, and the pieces all fit back into it. You don't have to worry about losing pieces. Pricewise, this building set is $10.99.

You now can also build a fleet of trucks or even an amusement park too! The Road Rig series has four separate models that you can get: Semi Truck, Pick-Up Truck, Dump Truck, and Tow Trick. You even get a guy to drive the truck too! Now, you can combines sets to create new and bigger trucks. If you combine all four, you can make a ten wheeled hauler! The semi truck building set has a motor, so it does require 2 AA batteries. This is for kids five and up. I love that it comes with instructions and shows you how to build all these cool things. This set will run your about $19.99.

This DoubleDare Dueling Coaster, I swear, was making my husband salivate. It is for 9 year olds and up, and I will even admit it is really cool. The set is over 950 pieces and even has a motorized chain lift! Two chrome cars and 32 feet of track are included too. You basically build two seperate tracks with this kit and then you can race them. This does take a bit of time to get set up. However, when you do, it is worth every minutes. This should be about $39.99 which is an excellent price for this.

K'NEX is one of those brands that we know and that we love. I am so glad to see that they are still around for my children to enjoy them. They truly have something for every age group now, and it really doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl. You just need to have an imagination and be willing to have fun.
