Get K'NEX

Get K'NEX for your child this Holiday Season! Our family loves them. Our girls think they are the best. They love to play, create and imagine. But what does Mom and Dad like about K'NEX? We love that they are made in the USA. Not many toy companies are based in the USA today. We love to support those that are.

What are K'NEX?

K'NEX is a flexible building system that lets your child explore and build both 2d and 3D models. There are a lot of parts so kids can build & rebuild over and over again! They also work with other brands like Legos. So, if you already have a LEGO or other K'NEX sets , you can add this set to them and expand your building system!

Tabitha enjoyed building with the 400 piece Tub set. I thought maybe it might be a little tricky for her. The pieces are small and made for 7+. At first she couldn't figure out how the pieces went together but when we grabbed the book with illustrations and models she picked it up with a snap! She copied right from the book and made a little sail boat!

The K'NEX 400 pc Tub is priced at $20.99 & found at Target, Walmart & Toys "R" US

 Sophie enjoyed the K'NEX Sesame Street Neighborhood Collection! She already had the  Elmo piano set so adding the police Elmo to her collection was so much fun! This collection for age 2+ connects together just like Legos so she jumped right in with no problem!There are so many developmental benefits to this set!

~ Building supports the development of hand-eye coordination.

~ Encourages imaginative play.

~Language Development- Talking about what they built and created can enhance your child's language skills.

~Sorting and making patterns with the building parts encourages thinking & problem solving.

The K'NEX Sesame Street Set retails for $9.99 and is also found at Target, Walmart & Toys "R" US.

Again, we are happy to support main stream companies made in the USA! Here is a note from the President about who they are and information on their quality control!

Note from :Michael Araten
President & COO

To all our customers:
My wife, Ellen, and I are parents of a 9 year old girl and 6 year old boy. We have been seeing and reading the stories about consumer products recalls, including the toy recalls. As a family owned, US based manufacturer of toys, we take the issue of safety very seriously.

You can feel confident knowing that all K'NEX bricks, rods and connectors are manufactured at The Rodon Group — our family owned factory in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, under the strictest of guidelines and using raw materials from premier quality US manufacturers. We pride ourselves in providing you with a highly enjoyable and safe product. During this time of heightened sensitivity to toy safety, K'NEX will add a clearly visible label to the front of our products stating that "K'NEX Bricks, Rods and Connectors are made in the USA." The label is expected to begin appearing next month.  READ MORE ...

Enjoy your holiday shopping. Remember to look for companies made in the USA or practicing fair trade!

 

Love to the moon and back,

Donna

Top grade Switzerland replica watch are the very ones we can go for. They are indistinguishable to original Switzerland wrist watches when it comes to design, high quality, as well as finish. Even they are able to additionally maintain time as accurately since the original models.replica hermes
