K'NEX
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Fun and educational in many ways!) 『I discovered Kid K'Nex while working as a preschool teacher. I noticed how the kids not only used the provided pictures to make little creatures, but they also used their imaginations to make many other things, like suns, flowers, cups with straws, etc. They even made workout dumbells! I decided to buy these for my 3-year-old great-niece, and she loves them! She can easily play with them herself (with supervision), but I have a lot of fun playing with her and creating new things as well. These toys are great for fine motor skills, color recognition and imaginative play. They also keep the children's attention for a long time. The set does have small parts, so be there when children are playing with them, and make sure the kids are 3 or older. All in all - an excellent value!』
(Endless fun) 『I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old and both love this toy. My 5 year says that it is "awesome". They have played with the Kid K'nex for at least an hour every day for the last month with no signs of stopping.
The pieces are large (unlike the tiny K'nex for older children) and easily manipulated with small hands. This makes them great for fine motor skills practice.
I love that my children are using their imagination to create a variety of objects, both real and invented. My husband even joins in the play and makes his own designs. The set does come with illustrations of suggested creations, but my kids didn't look at them and I think that this allowed them to be more creative.
Although this set is marketed for educational settings (I learned about them at my son's preschool), I highly recommend buying one for home. At first glance it may appear expensive but it is a great value because kids play with it alot. This is not the $10 toy that is already gathering dust a week later.
Enjoy this toy and the imagination that it brings out in your children!』
(Fun for All) 『This was a gift for one of our grandsons, but the whole family - grandma and grandpa included - have had fun with it. It is an excellent activity for children to look at an item as a whole and then find all the individual parts it takes to make a whole. It also can be a very creative tool allowing the child to make new and interesting creations. Even for the younger child, it provides educational play....separating the parts by color or shape, counting how many of each shape there are and which number is greater or lesser.....can occupy a four year old for hours! Good buy.』 『K'Nex kits inspire young minds and satisfy kids' curiosity on how to build simple creations. Each innovative kit keeps young builders busy and intrigued for hours on end.
This Kid K'Nex Kit builds eight different models and allows kids to work in teams of three to five. Big, soft, chunky pieces can be used by children with varying manipulative skills. Includes 1:1 correspondence cards. Everything comes in large storage tub with snap-on lid. Box measures approximately 7.13" x 11" x 16".』

He wanted to open up the box and get started right away, but had to settle for reading all the information on the box (we were out to dinner when he received it). He kept saying "Wow, Dad look at this" at the different features. He likes to put things together such as Lego's so he was excited to try his had at a model car. He said the car I picked, '69 Shelby GT500, was really cool. He was planning to put it together that weekend with his Dad who put together model cars when he was a kid.
The price was good and shipping was very reasonable. It does not include glue or paint, but I went to the local craft store and bought both for under $4 to complete his gift. Overall it was a hit. 』

Now our marble games keep getting higher and more creative.』 『A new exciting add-on set with a marble storage unit and switch that regulates the speed of several marbles.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Favorite Gift) 『I bought this for my daughter who is 10. I bought 2 sets different colors and shapes so she would have a lot of pieces to make multiple shapes. I thought it would be okay, and kind of fun, but turns out she really loves it. Every spare moment she gets she is making new shapes and having a great time. I bought her some great things for Christmas but she would rather play with these shapes then just about anything. I have to admit that I enjoy playing around with them too. I am surprised that they are not in all the major stores these are the most fun magnets on the market for making fun shapes.』
(Magformers) 『This is a great toy and very educational. Both of my grandsons love it. I even bought one set to keep at Grandma's. My only complaint is that it is very expensive for what you get, but I'll pass judgement on that when we see how durable it is.』
(A big hit in our house) 『My children, (4.5 and 2.5) got these for Christmas, one 30 piece set each. Shown here is the red and purple and green and purple set. My daughter received the red&purple, but they also come in blue&yellow which is what my son has. There are two shapes - 18 squares and 12 triagles in the 30 piece box. 30 pieces is enough to build decent sized shapes, but if you have a builder who enjoys elaborate structures, they may want more pieces. From what I've seen, I would think 14 pieces would be too few. All the pieces in a set are the same two colors, one side is red, the other purple for example.
They do indeed go together as described on the box. They never reject on the edge, if you flip it over the other way, it still connects. I did find that certain combinates of putting them face to face does reject and the shape has to be flipped over. The magnets are completely encapsulated in the plastic, not glued in the edges as was the problem with magnet toys which have been recalled - as these strong magnets can be deadly when swallowed. That is my largest concern with this toy, but I spent some time trying to pry apart the plastic to be sure it was secure and it flexed some but seemed pretty well put together. Given the CPSC's recalls on other toys using similar magnets, however, I will be keeping a very close eye on these.
As for the educational value, they are wonderful - my 4.5 year old daughter was immediately building all sorts of geometric shapes with it, and while my son isn't at that level, he still enjoyed stacking them and pulling them apart. This toy is a great alternative to the much more expensive magnatiles.』
(wonderful) 『I purchased two Magnetic Building Sets last year for myself a great grandmother of 8. I wanted to have them on hand so they can play in my home when they come to visit. Little did I know it would be a hit with the parents as well. I now have all the childrens Christmas wish.thank you for a great product.

(lego naboo N-1) 『Like the other Lego toy I bought, this was a great value and a hit with the recipient, who is a Lego fan to begin with.』
(Lego Naboo N-1 Starfighter review (I couldn't think of a better title! :() 『I saw this thing before I saw the old version of this set, and there's really no comparison. It is a really sweet kit. The launcher would beat a sniper in a compitition of distance. (Not really; this thing can't shoot 2 1/2 miles with pinpoint accuracy. Actually, this thing can't shoot 2.5 miles at all. Drat.) Both the N-1 and the Vulture Droid look awesome, but the Vulture Droid's "flick fire missles" don't work at all. Who cares, though? It's a sweet set either way you cut it.』
(Great Gift for School-age / Tweens) 『My son received this for his 8th birthday. He loved it! He was old enough to be able to build this from the directions without help and fast build it, he did! I thought that would be it - $[...] and he was done with it in a single afternoon - but no, he gets a good amount of imaginative play with the finished models, so it was a very worthwhile purchase. This is a great buy for children who have taken interest in the Star Wars movies and who love to assemble LEGO's. And I expect adults who are collectors of this genre would appreciate this gift also.』
(Not the best lego I have gotten) 『frist there was some promblems with this lego 1 it kept falling apart so i had to glue it 2 the missles dont fier good on droid and the missle on the naboo does not work 3 r2d2 does not fall from his escape pod. But this is fun to build and is fun to play with. If your okay with these promblems then get this lego if your then dont. get anakins star fighter instead.』 『Get ready to defend the planet Naboo against the droid forces of the Trade Federation.
