The last time we bought Knex in bulk, on E-Bay. And the generous seller, having learned the age of my children, also added a set of Knex mosaics and Knex Lego. My daughter always likes Knex-Lego – she doesn’t like regular Lego, but this one has softer parts and rounded corners and the pieces connections are a little stronger.
This K’Nex bird flaps its wings if you rotate the crank.
The tank’s turret rotates up to 360 degrees.
The fish’s month opens and closes when you rolls the fish around.

A bat from our K’Nex exhibition. We planned to hang it on a thread, but couldt find a good place in this room.
Just like the real baby ostriches, this one is mostly legs and very little else.
This is a scorpion, but an unusually docile and sweet one. Another figure from our K’Nex exhibition.

Build & Bloom is probably the most pretty of Gears!Gears!Gears! sets. It has 116 pieces – interlocking baseplates, poles, and, of course, gears. There are also flowers and stems that will connect to your craft and interact with the gears. With this set, you can build an upright construction, add the axis pieces, and decorate your craft with the gears. Then you can turn a crank on any of these gears, and watch all the connected gears rotate.
The pieces of this set are big and sturdy, so they can survive many years of use. This set is not very complicated in its concept, so you can give it to the children you are 3 years old or older. You can also mix the parts of Build & Bloom with any onther Gears! set.
Learning Resources is a popular and well-known toy brand from the USA that specializes in STEM toys. Gears!Gears!Gears! is a series of building sets with moving and rotating gears in them. These gears may have different functions in different sets, but you can mix them and use them together. Gears! Gears! Gears! sets show exactly how the gear transmission works, and you can use them as a colorful and simple explanation of the gear physics.
