Editorial Review:
For the young Rube Goldbergs of the world, this may be a gateway toy. With eight building platforms, 48 brightly colored, 2.25-inch plastic gears, a handle, and 39 connecting pieces, a child can progress from simple cause-and-effect play to constructing a racing car, caterpillar, or zigzag stairs. (Directions for assembly are illustrated, but preschoolers will need adult help). The activity guide (in English, French, German, and Spanish) provides two pages of instructions and suggestions for mini-experiments. This durable, easy-to-use toy is good for kids who like knowing how things work. --Louise Carter |

Parenting Tip: If your gifted child collects K'nex, don't worry too much about keeping all the pieces from different sets separate. Mixing them all up allows children to exercise their creativity, mixing and matching pieces from various sets to create some unique constructions. Some general sets come in a large tub, but even if your child has smaller, separate sets, you can keep them all together in a large tub. Plastic storage bins are perfect for storing K'nex pieces.
Although your child should feel free to mix up all the pieces, it's a good idea to keep the instructions for the various sets together in one place. Your child may want to recreate the original constructions and will need the directions. We kept ours in a folder on a bookshelf.
