If you're still looking for something for your kids, have a look in the Knex section.
Thanks to Team Mom and K'KNEX, I had the chance to review a Sesame Street Neighborhood Collection building set and a K'NEX 400 pieces Tub.
Abby is crazy about Elmo and she couldn't wait to open the box.
With the Sesame Street Neighborhood Collection Building Sets, children can build their own Sesame Street with Elmo, Cookie Monster and Ernie.
I have to admit that "little" Elmo is very cute with his white uniform and cap. Abby loves the ice cream truck and even makes Elmo "pretend" scoop some ice cream for us. It's adorable!
And this is not all, apparently Elmo must have protective powers cause Abby keeps putting him next to our cat Simba's food bowl, so other cats don't touch his food. Elmo doesn't only drive his ice cream truck in our house, he also is Simba's security person!
This 18-piece building set pairs perfectly with the neighborhood Collection 1-2-3 Brownstone Building set. The box also includes a "Play & Learn"activity sheet with additional building ideas.
The parts in this building set are big and chunky so easy for small hands to handle.
Suggested Price: $9.99
For ages 2-5.
Available at: Target, Wal-Mart & Toys"R"Us.
The second box we received is the K'NEX 400 PC Tub.
Of course Jamie's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw this. This Tub has 400 pieces and building ideas for 20 different models. Hours of fun in one box!
With this set kids are not just limited to the models in the book but they can use their imagination to build whatever they are inspired to build.
There's lots of movement in the models, wheels on cars, propellers on airplanes ferris wheel and a merry-go-round spin.
Do you know what else is cool about this set? It works with other brands like Lego. Jamie has lots of Legos and can play with them for hours so now he can expand his building system!
The one this I don't like about K'NEX and Legos for that matter is that these parts go everywhere and I seem to be the one stepping on them but with the Storage Tub, the clean-up is way easier.
All K'NEX are made in the USA.
Suggested price: $20.99
Age range: +7
Available at: Target, Wal-Mart and Toys"R"Us
