K'nex Ambulance Rescue Set

This mini building set packs in a lot of fun! Using the classic K’NEX system of rods, kids can quickly assemble a rescue vehicle—and then spend hours playing with it. Choose a police car, fire engine, ambulance, or rescue helicopter. K’NEX. Ages: 5+

The kids at church love K’Nex and play with them weekly. When I saw this Ambulance Set, this paramedic knew it needed to go into an annual Foster Child Toy Drive donation box! When it arrived, though, the box (which was properly overpacked, so UPS can not be blamed) was crushed and had bits of scotch tape holding the flaps closed. The inner bag of parts looked intact, and since it was the day before the end of the Toy Drive, it got donated.

K’Nex sets build dexterity and spatial reasoning skills for kids, and when thrown into a large pile, build imagination and encourage sharing. The small pieces never (knock on wood) break, and the longer lengths can really take a beating! As long as the child is not going to choke on the small pieces, I would recommend this series for most any child! Just be sure all of the pieces are included.

Police Rescue Set

It’s K’NEX to the rescue with the new Police building set! Young K’NEX builders can use 54 rods, connectors and genuine K’NEX bricks to either fly by in a police helicopter or race to the scene in a police car! The Police set combines with the Fire set for a giant build. Collect all four Rescue sets to create an exciting ultimate build! For ages 5+.

My son just had his 5th birthday and invited his classmates to a party. That means he got all the typical boy toys. His interest in train sets was waning, so when people asked what to get him, I suggested building sets.

He got several, including this one.

Our only exposure to K’nex was the Kid K’nex Playground Pals- 80 pcs that he received for Christmas when he was 3 1/2. He liked those, but could never manipulate and build the creatures himself.

Not so with this Police vehicle building kit, for ages 5 and up. The step by step instructions are clear, and with me looking on, he was able to build it himself.

Some of the pieces are very very small, and several times pieces fell off as we were trying to get the helicopter together. However, this is a big developmental plus for me and is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. He will be entering Kindergarten in the fall, and fine motor skills are something that he needs to work on. In addition, the act of following instructions and evaluating which pieces come next, hone his skills in that area.

I also like that from this one kit, he can build 2 different vehicles (not to mention combining with other kits to build even more).
