Review: K'NEX 35 Model Building Set
Introduction
K'NEX is an integrated construction toy system for children that offers hours of fun by opening up their imagination and creative side. The K'NEX family has building toys specially designed for every age group and skill level. In addition to the available mixed building sets, K'NEX also offers an array of different sets with many famous brands; the most recognised one for me is the Amusement Park Ferris Wheel.
Experience
K'NEX is a toy brand we have seen advertised over the years, but we have never bought one for ourselves. So when we were offered to review a box, we jumped at the chance. It is an alternative construction toy that we couldn't wait to get stuck into.
The ideal age for this particular set is 6 to 14 years old, though Jacob, my 4 years, loves it and has built many different things (that is what best to call them, things, as he just puts bits together, being creative, but not actually creating a model). However, Lewis being 11 has had a little more success, he sat down and followed the picture instructions on the included booklet and was happy to build constructions. Also, hubby got involved and built a few things (see the pictures below).

Conclusion
The K'NEX 35 model build set is a perfect starter kit to introduce you to the creative world of K'NEX. It also comes in a box (chest) to add more pieces to your collection and store it all together.
K'NEX allows and encourages the kids to be innovative and creative and teaches them to use their concentration and imagination. The kids were quite happy to build bits and create what they wanted, be it from the instructions booklet or simply something they wanted to create using their own imagination.
