Building Sets Reviews

My 5 year old son has seen most of episode 5 and loved it when he recieved this set for his birthday last week. It is too complicated for him to build on his own, however, its a fun family activity to build together, and afterwards the pieces can be used to make designs from your imagination. He loves it, and has played with it every day for the past week.

All my friends want to play with this one whenever the come over. It is so cool!!

Everything was excelent except the amazon box where the toys were dispatched. It was so big (three times) compared to the original toys box, that I was charged two times the value of the toys on the shipping to my country.

My 2 1/2 year old is having a ball with these. He makes things out of these and then tells me what they are. Of course they look nothing like claims it to be but he is really using his imagination and having fun. I think it won't be long before he's building cities around my house with these. I LOVE any toy that comes in its own carrying case. That was a bonus with these

My 5 yr.old son and 3 yr.old dd, love these, they have all the different types and I dumped them all in a tote with the books and they play with them that way, It's very easy to make the different things out of the books, we have lots of fun with them, I just wish they would come out with a bigger container full of them in the big plastic form. just so that we don't have all the cases laying around.
We got one for a gift for one of his friends and they loved it too. Would recommend to anyone with small kids.

I wish I had known about Knex sooner. We just bought the Rovin Rollers but I anticipate buying more in the series. I like legos and it's nice that there are versions of legos that a young child can use. However, with legos, a young child (say 4 and under) can't really do anything interesting with them other than make stacks and bigger stacks. With Knex, they can put together 3 or 4 pieces and have something interesting with an eyeball or wheel. Some of the parts are prebuilt to make building go quicker. There is also a book which gives you ideas of things to make. I found myself playing with this!

Yes. There are small parts but I just keep an eye on my 2.5 yr olds. They have yet to put the small pieces in their mouth but did once chew on a bigger piece.

Yes. As another reviewer said, I wish it had a bigger case. A parent has to pack it and pack it carefully or it won't close. That said, it is a nice sturdy case and has held up well to my kids sitting and standing on it.

Worth every penny!
