Building Sets Reviews

The instruction booklet is very detailed and comes in several languages. There are three levels for the models to build and they range from friendly, moderate to greater challenge. My son has made nine of these models.

The rods and connectors snap into one another and are built according to the color-coded instructions. Joel Glickman is the inventor of K'Nex and has an easy to understand format in the directions, plus you do not need to read much to follow the diagrams. This set is ideal for the beginner who is new to this building system. My son was familiar with this from watching commercials.

The pieces have names, rods, connectors, spacers and flexi-rods. The connectors are blue and purple, and nice shades. The instructions are numbered for each step to follow along. The flexi-rods are orange with the spaces being blue and silver.

Scissors, hang glider, lawn mower, spy plane, canoe, cell phone, space shuttle, fly & swatter, clawing crab and the front-end loader.

There are very small round pieces that are dangerous to have around if there are smaller children or pets in the home. This might be best utilized on a table and when not in use place all loose pieces back in case.

My son has spent many hours this past month exploring with these models and making things that are not even listed and tells me all the time how he is using his imagination.

The models are able to stand in an upright position, they can move and bend in positions and they come in various sizes and portable.
