Amusement Park Play

knex.jpgIt’s amazing how quickly kids go from having chubby, inexperienced baby paws to incredibly nimble little fingers. And if you’ve got an avid builder in the house, check out K’NEX. Designed for builders 7 and up, the amusement park construction sets (I especially like the Ferris Wheel; shown) conjure visions of summertime fun while allowing kids to hone their spatial orientation prowess. Jon also was impressed that – unlike the less polished erector sets of his childhood - the K'NEX rods and connectors snap together perfectly and are completely forgiving when you need to take them apart. These sets even include little motors, so your child can set the structure in motion once complete.

Want to be 1 of 3 winners to receive a K’NEX construction set*? Here’s how:
