I have kids ages 5 and 8, and although Kid K'nex are marketed as a pre-school toy, I think they are much broader than that. Certainly, their chunky size and easy-snap assembly makes them extremely pre-school friendly, but at my house, kids from 4 to 12 (and, truth be told, adults too) all seem to really like creating the friendly, goofy creatures with Kid K'nex. So I expect we will play with them for many more years, and I intend to add to our collection. This toy is not one we will outgrow soon.
This paritcular set has some cute animal body parts (ears, eyes, trunk) but it also contains a large number of lego-like (Duplo size) pieces, which caught me by surprise. Initially I was annoyed that I hadn't noticed that before buying the set since we have an abundance of Duplo and always have arguments over eyes-ears-feet. This Kid K'nex set, however, has become a nice bridge between the two types of building toys, and I see even more animal-construction creativity coming out of my kids now that they have the full range of Kid K'nex AND Duplos to incorporate into their designs.
I highly recommend this toy for kids who like to create. Even if your child hasn't shown a real aptitude for or interest in building toys, with the Kid K'nex the creatures are so cute and varied that they appeal to anyone - girls or boys, artistically inclined or not. It's a fun, educational, creativity-inspiring product.Get more detail about K'Nex Kid - Zoo Buddies Building Set.
