My girls are 3 and 5 years old and love to build anything and everything! Besides the normal building blocks and cardboard boxes they use to build things, we haven’t tried anything like the Kid K’Nex before. I must admit playing with it myself – it’s fab! Here is a little about Kids K’Nex and our builds!
Kid K’Nex are building toys for preschoolers around the 3-5 age bracket. They are the perfect way for your child to express their imagination and creativity! These building toys allow children to develop their fine motor skills, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination. We were very lucky to get sent the Kid K’Nex Budding Builders Set to review alongside a Safari Friends kit.
Kid K’Nex Budding Builders Set
If you have a budding builder then the Kid K’nex Budding Builders Building Set is for your little one. It’s jammed packed with 100 colourful parts and pieces. Included is a building sheet with 50 amazing ideas to create! I think it’s fabulous for little ones to copy the builds. They don’t tell you how to get to the finished make, but that’s the beauty of K’Nex. Little ones learn to follow the image and build to their heat’s content!
There are some great builds to make – from bugs, elephants, and squirrels to a fish helicopter to the cutest puppy! Can you build all 50 models? My daughter loves to use her imagination and design her own models! This is a picture of her building an airplane cockpit!
Key Benefits of Kid K’Nex:
- Improves Motor Skills
- Helps with developing Hand-Eye Coordination
- Great for Dexterity
- Problem-Solving abilities
- Cognitive Functions
- Spatial Intelligence
The set of vibrantly coloured parts also includes special pieces such as colourful eyes, curly tails, flappy ears, big feet, bendable joints and spinning propellers that your child can use to create many different interpretations of their dream animals and objects. And you can build models bigger than the box! The sky is the limit!
The Kid K’Nex is a brilliant construction educational toy, great for sensory play and many hours of fun!
Kid K’Nex Safari Friends
Like the Kid K’Nex Budding Builders set the Safari Friends work in the same way. You could think of this set as an additional to the larger sets. There are many build sets to buy in the Kid K’Nex range and they all have interchangeable parts.
In this 21 piece Safari Friends Set, you get 5 builds to create. Our favourite is the lion! Perfect for little hands with tail, mane, eyes, and paws pieces included.

My son loved K’nex when he was a boy. I’m surprised the boxes say 3-5, as my son enjoyed playing with it for years. He graduated to making larger and more complicated models.
The girls will love these too – great fun and learning
These are great arent they, a lot easier than lego for little ones who like to build.
This looks like so much fun. My twins have just turned 3 so I may get this as a Christmas present for them
