K’NEX Imagine Imagination Makers 50 Model Building Set for Ages 5 and Up, Construction Educational Toy, 382 Pieces

positives -Lots you can buildTub is great for storageCan keep an older child occupied for a long timeNegatives -Tricky for little hands (my daughter is 6 and struggles with these)Although there are 50 different models to build you can only build one at a time - so lots of time consuming building just to break it up again to make something else straight awayOne piece snapped as I was taking it apartHardly any pieces in the tub which looks disappointing for the child when openedSaying this, I would recommend knex as they are really good fun and the look of excitement on the child’s face when they complete a model is second to none. Definitely more suited to a child 8+ I would say.Should be cheaper for what you get though

prompt delivery well packagedgood instructions although the children prefer to use their own imagination to make modelsnot suitable for under fives as lots of small pieces and some patience needed to put pieces togethermy seven and five year old grandsons worked well togetherquite pricey for what you get

Have bought as a Christmas present for my 5 year old granddaughter and I am sure she will love it as much as her dad did at her age.

The box was barely half full of K’nex when we opened it. Great for storage but would be good to have more to build with

Fires my daughter’s imagination completely. She finds it easy to use and refuses to let us aid her in any way.

This was for my 4 year grand daughter. She seems to enjoy playing with Knex with some help. Would recommend it. She has 2 sets.

My right year old daughter lives this set. It really inspires creativity and is good value for the price.

these are brilliant have 3 different sets, for the younger child would advice parental guidance
