We had this great opportunity to try out some K'Nex products for free. Evan already has some K'Nex and loves to play with them. They allow him to be completely creative and are super easy to use. Evan received three of the Sesame Street K'Nex toys, the Kick it Elmo, Swim Time Ernie, and Cookie Monster's Basketball. Here are some of the pros and cons that we found with the toys.
PROS:
*Very easy for Evan to figure out (age appropriate). The first one he had to look at the instructions and needed some minor assistance to build it, the second one he built completely on his own with the instructions and by the third on he was able to build it and didn't even take the instructions out of the package.
*Fun and creative, they are meant to build one character, but you can switch it up and create all kinds of funny things (as you can see from the picture).
*Improves hand-eye coordination
*Encourages imaginative play
*Encourages thinking and problem solving skills
CONS:
*They were more like LEGO's than the K'Nex toys we are used to. Not many of the pieces connected like K'Nex, but more like LEGO's.
*It is almost impossible to get all the pieces back in the original container, so you have to find a new storage container for them.
