3.0 out of 5 stars Complicated to use as it have very small pieces too
Verified PurchaseThe product was delivered good and safe. But the pieces in this product was too small and I can't use as I wish. In this product there are two size pieces and you can't play or design as you wish. Its very complicated to use. Better try with K'nex 70 Model building set as it was good to play with.

5.0 out of 5 stars encourages my son's creativity
Verified PurchaseAs a parent looking for educational and engaging toys for my child, I recently purchased the K’NEX 35 Model Building Set, and I must say, it's been a fantastic addition to our collection. Here's why I believe it's a great construction education toy:
Versatile Building Options: With 480 colorful pieces, the K’NEX set offers endless possibilities for creativity and imagination. From simple structures to intricate models, children have the freedom to explore and build a wide variety of designs, fostering their problem-solving skills and spatial awareness in the process.
STEM Learning: As a construction education toy, K’NEX encourages hands-on learning in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Through building and experimenting with different configurations, children develop critical thinking skills and gain practical insights into concepts such as physics, geometry, and mechanics.
Step-by-Step Instructions: The set includes step-by-step instructions for building 35 different models, ranging from vehicles and animals to buildings and more. These instructions provide clear guidance and inspiration for children to follow while also allowing room for customization and personalization based on their interests and preferences.
Durable and High-Quality: The K’NEX pieces are made of durable plastic that can withstand hours of play and manipulation. The interlocking connectors and rods are sturdy and secure, ensuring that children's creations stay intact during playtime and exploration.
Age-Appropriate Design: Designed for ages 7 and up, the K’NEX set strikes the perfect balance between complexity and accessibility. The pieces are sized appropriately for young hands to manipulate and assemble, promoting fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination in younger children while offering older children a more challenging building experience.
Interactive and Collaborative: Building with K’NEX encourages social interaction and collaboration among children as they work together to problem-solve, share ideas, and bring their creations to life. It's a wonderful opportunity for siblings, friends, or classmates to bond and learn together in a fun and engaging way.
Overall, I highly recommend the K’NEX 35 Model Building Set to parents and educators looking for a construction education toy that promotes creativity, STEM learning, and hands-on exploration. With its versatile building options, durable design, and age-appropriate features, it's sure to inspire hours of imaginative play and discovery for children of all ages.
