I am a huge fan of building toys and discovered the K'NEX brand while I was a Science teacher.  I learned right away that K'NEX sets are of the highest quality and always challenge children's imaginations.  So naturally, I was thrilled when I found out that K'NEX has a new preschool line of building sets called Kid K'NEX!

Recently, Riley and I had the chance to review one of their latest and greatest Kid K'NEX construction toys, the Undersea Friends Building Set.  Keep reading to learn more!

Your child can have a blast exploring the ocean and creating some fantastical K'NEX undersea friends!  With 48 building pieces including blocks, rods, connectors, personality parts, and new Kid K'NEX figures, your child can simultaneously build two giant fish, a scuba diver, swimmer, and other underwater attractions.  This building set comes in an easily portable box complete with handle so that you can take the fun with you!  Encourage your child's imagination with ten suggested alternate builds.

• 48 Kid K'NEX pieces including blocks, rods, connectors, personality parts, and new scuba diver/swimmer figures
• Perfect well-rounded building and playing experience for kids ages 3 years old and up
• Includes ideas for ten alternate builds

Riley absolutely loved the Kid K'NEX Undersea Friends Building Set, for she couldn't get enough of the two swimmers/divers included.  She literally spent over an hour playing with just these two figures on the very first day!  I liked how open-ended the pieces were, for with a little imagination, you could pretty much build anything.

Of course, I also appreciate how the Kid K'NEX Undersea Friends pieces blend seamlessly with the other preschool K'NEX building sets Riley already has.  Now she can integrate her favorite Sesame Street friends right into the Undersea Friends building set for even more fun.  I love toys that challenge Riley at many different developmental stages as well as foster creativity and imagination, and the Kid K'NEX Undersea Friends Building Set definitely does just that!
