As a Team Mom, I was given the opportunity to review two toys from K’NEX, K’NEX 400 Pieces Tub and Sesame Street Neighborhood Collection Building Set. After reviewing, I get to keep these for my kids. I let my son do this review with me. He even let me record him with the Sesame Street set.
The K’NEX 400 pieces Tub is for children 7 years old and older. My son is ten, but his fine minor skills are delayed. We different have that much luck with this toy, but it did show me some areas that my son needs to work on. He was also interested in playing with it. Although he did not have the dexterity to put the tiny pieces together, he showed me where he wanted them, and I would put them together. This is a good toy for children that love to build things and have the fine motor skills of a child that is at least seven years old.
The Sesame Street Neighborhood Collection Building set is for children 2 – 5 years old. We received the 123 Brownstone Building Set from the collection. This was a big success. The big pieces were a lot easier for him to manipulate. He was putting them together, all by himself. Afterwards, he had no problem taking them back apart. The video below is him playing with it in front of the camera. I couldn’t get the whole thing to upload. I had to edit it down to get it to upload into blogger. I did notice problems with his OCD. He placed most of the windows on top of each other. I loved how he actually played independently with these. He also didn’t get frustrated whenever he had a little problem putting them together. I give this set a big thumbs up.
