K'NEX: 70 Model Building Set

By K'NEX
Price $34.99
Age 7+

You know you're playing with an ingeniously conceived building toy when your mind can be so intently focused on the task at hand and simultaneously free to wander. Those seemingly contradictory states of concentration and relaxation are the result, in part, of the great flexibility with which the K'NEX rods and connectors join to one another. Kids of all ages adore them, and for good reason. They connect so easily, yet firmly, that all manner of constructions are possible. The 70 unique models provided in the illustrated instructions include road vehicles, aircraft, sea creatures and other animals, and quite a few things you wouldn't imagine could be built using nothing but your hands - no tools, no screws, no glue. Ranging from relatively simple to surprisingly intricate, these models, and the process of building them, provides nourishment for the brain and a whole lot of fun. The 705 piece set comes in a sturdy package shaped like a tool chest that works well for storing the whole kit and caboodle when playtime's over.
