K'NEX Review & Giveaway



My son is obsessed with Super Mario Kart. He would spend the whole day playing it on his Wii if I let him. The only other activity that hold his attention for more than five minutes, is his K'NEX building sets. When you merge these two kid friendly phenomenons, you are destined to have a winner, and that is exactly what K'NEX has done. We received the Mario VS Piranha Building Set, and even I loved it. The video game inspired characters remind me of when I was a kid myself. The set was fairly easy to put together, and comes with a working cart that actually drives around the track. I think this is my son's favorite K'NEX set to date, and that's saying something, because he loves them all.



We also received two of the their 20th Anniversary collection sets including the Strike Force Bomber and the Rally Sport Racer. My son really loves the bomber because he plans on joining the air-force someday, and this is getting him off on the right start. Both of these sets allow you to create three different battle ready designs. The racer even comes with moving wheels. They are challenging, but not frustrating for children ages seven and up. At around $13.99 a piece, these sets are an affordable option for the child who loves to build and tear down over and over again.



In addition to the sets I received to review, K'NEX has dozens of other additions including  Sesame Street, Nascar, Monster Jam, and so much more. To learn more about K'NEX and all they have to offer, you can visit their website. To keep up with new products and promotions, be sure to become their fan on face book. For hands on fun, K'NEX are the perfect holiday gifts for kids of all ages.





How would your kids like to give K'Nex a try? One lucky winner will receive the same three sets that we received to review.
