Excellent Educational Fun Toy
2005-08-28
I discovered Kid Knex last year as a Pre-K teacher looking for something different for my classroom as the children were getting bored.
I have since given this as a gift to nieces and nephews and recently Footed Friends to my friend's son for his sixth Birthday. Not only does he love it but his four year old brother and 3 year old sister do, too. They all play with it. Their mother agrees with me that it is so educational- it involves problem solving, creative thinking skills and fine motor skills. I have just begun furnishing my own Pre-K Program and I added three more sets to the two I already have. I highly recommend this durable, affordable, fun and educational toy.

I bought this for my three year old daughter for christmas. She could spend hours playing with it if i let her. The pieces are thick and durable and there are enough pieces to be very creative. My husband and eight year old son also enjoy playing with her and her kid nex.

My boys love Kid Knex. They have a huge tube of Legos and Mega Blocks and Lincoln Logs and... that they NEVER play with. When my son started asking for Kid Knex I ignored him. But his aunt was listening and he recieved Footed Friends and Bug Eyed Buddies for Christmas. My boys age 3 and 5 spend endless hours playing like these blocks. My five year old is asking for more Kid Knex for his birthday. These blocks are a great choice.
Interesting, good for dexterity

I bought this as a change of pace to Duplo blocks, which my 3-yr-old daughter plays with every day. The kit is fairly small, so it would seem that there are few things to create with it. Not so! She makes everything from satellites to lollipops and bouquets of flowers. She was initially interested in the "creature" creations but now finds the challenge of snapping the pieces into limitless combinations engaging. We found that creating the creatures was difficult, since the "feet" and "eyes" are oddly weighted and often cause your creature to be unable to stand. A child with better understanding of weights and balances will have more fun making creatures.Pros: it takes some dexterity and even hand strength to snap the pieces together. It has a nice, compact case with a handle. K'Nex teaches another kind of connection than the standard block. The abstract nature of these kits really engages kids' imagination. Cons: A few of the pieces are a choking hazard to anyone under three. Even the long "sticks" could prove disastrous to a child that is unable to resist mouthing and running around. You child may need your help a lot in the beginning until they get the hang of how the pieces attach to each other.
Great Toy

I purchased this for my 4 yr old daughter before going on a trip to keep her busy and this was the only toy she played with the entire time. This was over two months ago and every day she is still playing with this set and building something new. We are amazed at her creativity and the complexity of her designs. I plan on including this on my gift giving list. It is the best toy buy we have made in quite a while.
