knex rippin rocket rollercoaster .

Advantages: very challenging so keeps them quiet for hours!!!
Disadvantages: lots of small pieces which could be easily lost .

We decided to buy the knex rippin rocket rollercoaster for our son age 8 years last christmas ,because he absolutely adores playing with his knex building sets .he had received a couple of sets for his birthday and never seemed to put them down they keep him quiet for hours .when he received this he was really thrilled as this really was the mother of all the sets and this had motors in it as well .the only thing was as we were aware this was alot ...
...( but he secretly loves playing with this as well ) but between the 2 of them they managed to build it eventually .It really is very impressive when finished stands about 5.5 ft tall and 3ft wide so takes up quite a lot of room so ideally needs somewhere with a great deal of space otherwise you would have to pack it away soon which is a real shame as it takes a long time to construct but the colour coded instructions for building are very useful ...

Review of K'Nex Rippin' Rocket Rollercoaster

kid knex

Advantages: great for imaginative, fine motor, sharing and creative skills
Disadvantages: small peices

Great little sets for kids and adults alike - lots of different sets to collect and all can be put togther so ideal idea for presents when people ask you what to get for your child. Brightly coloured and easier to handle for over 3's but you can get sets for older children to. Brilliant as well to help siblings to work togther and build their creative, fine motor, sharing and imagination skills. some of the peices are quite small even in the 3+ range ...

Review of K'Nex Basic Set

Can I Knex with you at the arcade

Advantages: Keeps you busy. Great fun
Disadvantages: Very big once built, quite noisy

As many of you will know, I am a bargain hunter, and when I saw the Knex Electronic Arcade at a 70% reduction from £100 down to £30, I just had to buy it. Knex is a building toy, which has many different components. The basic components are sticks in varying lengths, which have a shaped end to connect with the various shaped connecting pieces. Some of these connecting pieces actually slot together allowing three-dimensional models to be created. ...
...wheels, cogs, or chain links, some have motors and others like this have bases! The set that I am reviewing is the Knex Electronic Arcade, which my son has been asking for since Christmas 2001. This set consists of almost 1000 pieces including large balls, elastic bands and the aforementioned sticks and connection pieces, 3 large base pieces which slot together (one of which has the battery compartment for 4 C size batteries) and an electronic scoreboard ...

Review of K'Nex Electronic Arcade

Duplo men here to help on the highway

Advantages: Good toy
Disadvantages: None

...2 and 4 a Duplo Lego toy they will get played with and a 5, 6 or 7 year old will still be happy to play with Duplo. This highway help breakdown set will please many little boys and a few girls too. Included in this set is a yellow breakdown tow truck. The truck has “flashing” warning lights on top and a tow hook There is seating for the 2 repair men in the truck cab.. Two male mini figures come with this set one has reddish brown hair and blue yes. ...
...twice the size of a Lego brick but they are compatible. I think this breakdown repair set is good, Duplo is a good product it is well made lasts for ages washes well. I personally have Duplo that has lasted my daughter and her children too it must be 30 + years old. Duplo is one of if not the best cojoining bricks for 2-5 year olds. This set can be bought in many places that sell toys it is available from Amazon for £34.00 ...

Review of Lego Duplo 4964: Highway Help

The Lego People are off on their Holidays!

Advantages: cute, fun to build and play with
Disadvantages: smaller than you would think

...lucky enough to get this lego set for her birthday from Granny. She has just turned 6 and is a bit of a lego fan already, this set is part of the "City" range. As you can see from the photo it is a cute item with 2 people and a number of play elements - a bbq with a fish - strange but sweet, a surfboard and also the ability to be opened up so that your little people can go to sleep or sit down on one of the three little seats. The first thing to ...
...can be downloaded from the lego site these days). You build the chassis first and then the top, which is a good idea as it makes hunting for pieces less of an ordeal if you don't mix up the bags, and also you don't have to build the whole thing at once. The age range from lego is 5-12; I think a 5 year old could manage with help, I'm not sure that the 12 year olds I know would really be interested in this, it does seem aimed at a younger market being ...
