Great KNEX Sets for the Holidays
My kids LOVE KNEX, and there are just so many sets available for Christmas fun. I want to share a couple with you that I had an opportunity to check out recently.
We received these two sets in the mail, and it was funny to watch even the cat get involved in taking them out of the box. Marvel Boy seemed torn between these two sets. I knew he had wanted one of the roller coasters for quite a while, so I was surprised when he decided to…
…build the IMC Atlas Titan first. I guess I really shouldn’t have because he loves robots, and this looks like a robot.
He talked his sister into helping him build the Titan. They worked on it for quite a while and only needed a little help with a couple of pieces that were very tight and hard to put together. The instructions were very easy to follow
After the Titan was finished, Marvel Boy decided to start looking at the Raptor’s Revenge Roller Coaster. Soon, he was talking about putting it together…
He talked his dad into helping him. Soon, though, dad was putting it together by himself, until Songbird decided that she could help him with it. This building set was definitely a little more involved than other sets we had put together; however, once it was put together, Marvel Boy couldn’t wait to see it in action. See, this isn’t just a little roller coaster, nor does it just sit there. The roller coaster actually runs through the track. It is so neat to see, and Marvel Boy loves to switch it on and watch it for a while. Honestly, this is the best KNEX set we have had! Marvel Boy is begging for another roller coaster, and he has even seen one that looks like Space Mountain at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. That is what he wants for Christmas!
I think Raptor’s Revenge would make a wonderful Christmas present!
