## Description

K'NEX STEAM Education | Gears Building Set | Engineering Educational Toy, 143 Parts for Ages 8+ | Basic Fun 79318 : desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: K'NEX is amazing! - K'NEX is such a great toy! I have found memories of playing with K'nex when I was growing up and it is now time to let my kid have the same fun I once had. It is an amazing framework that allows kids to have fun, be creative, problem solve and learn, all at the same time. This set is specifically tailored to teaching kids about gears. There are more sets to teach them other similar subjects (which I also purchased and can recommend). I sincerely hope BasicFun! can capitalize on nostalgic fathers like me, by investing more into the K'nex franchise, and bring back classics such as the K'NEX Big Ball Factory building set, and other (classic K'NEX type) roller coaster sets.
Review: Fun. Education. Good Quality. - Good design and kept my son busy for an afternoon. Learning about gears and engineering without opening a book. Some pieces need a bit more encouragement to snap together, however its new and i expect this. Comes with the first challenge included and a code is provided with the 2 other challenges available. Altogether a good project.
