Toys Super Saver: Knex Value Tub 400 pieces

Great Deal Knex Value Tub 400 pieces

I purchased this toy for my daughters' birthdays (4 and 6), as a shared present, and they love building with it. This is usually done as a "group" project, as some of the pieces are a little bit difficult to snap together for them (but honestly, I have trouble with a few of the pieces myself), but it's been great to see them working together and collaborating on a building project.

I was at first a little worried about whether or not all 400 pieces could be contained in the tote. Opening the box for the first time dispelled that concern. The box looked practically empty! The pieces are very small, and barely cover the bottom of the storage box. However, don't let that fool you, since you can build lots of things from this seemingly small sprinkle of parts. The fact that they claim to be compatible with other snap-style building blocks is a bonus. In any case, there is room for plenty more pieces, should you choose to buy more.

The downside of this toy is that the some of the pieces really are difficult to put together and take apart, and require a good deal of dexterity to do so. However, given this fact, the finished products are pretty durable because of it. I remember skinning my fingers as a little girl taking apart my Legos, though, so I'm thinking this might just be a right of passage.

Not a bad choice. At first I thought it would be a disaster with all the small pieces. My 6-year old has more fun with it than Legos because of the different shaped pieces. His imagination is great & so are the Knex.
