For a long time, my kids didn’t play the story-based games with building kits. They only wanted to build something, ttake it down and build again. But then they discovered that they can build scenes to play with other toys. This is the Leaning Tower of Pisa they made for a game about Italian holiday, along with Pirelli Tower.

K’NEX Airplne By The Manual
Adult figurines love small planes. We built this one according to the K’Nex manuals.
K’NEX Leftover Airplane
We made this plan from the pieces that was left after we made some other K’Nex crafts.
K’NEX Monoplane
Everybody else are riding the balloon.
K’NEX Air Balloon
We made this balloon by the scheme. To make the balloon rise and fall smoothly, we throw the rope several times over the cornice and clamped the ballon on a pin threaded into the motor. We haven’t yet figured out how to secure the motor, so someone have to hold it in their hand and tilt it down a little.
My daugter made the sun using the same principle – in the morning it rises to the ceiling, and in the evening it goes down.
