Another model the motocycle K’Nex set offers. It’s very similar to the basic model of this set, but it has extra small wheels for extra stability when you roll it around. Of course, you can actually build anything you want from this set, regardless of its theme.

MAGNA-TILES Grand Prix
This Magna-Tiles set focuses on cars and car stunts. It has many pieces, including 2 cars with wheels, and different big tiles to build bridges and roads.
Smaller Ship
Built by Willy (4.5 years old). His mom only helped him with the bow of the ship. The son did not find the necessary parts among our Manetico, so we supplemented it by two pieces – green triangular prisms from the Magneticus magnetic set.
K’NEX Mega Motorcycle Building Set
This set is a little like K’Nex version of Lego Technic. The set offers to build a very realistic motocycle model from the basic K’Nex pieces and some decorations. The model can move in all the same ways the real motocycly would, adding realism.
Playmobil Wiltopia Boat Trip to The Manatees – Floating Boat
Just like the manatees and the water plants, a boat of this set float in actual water. The only problem with this set is a number of small pieces that get lost very easily.
EDTOY Wooden Palace
A magnetic building block palace. Made by 5,5-years-old Willy from a wooden EDTOY kit.
EDTOY Wooden Duck
Or maybe it’s a giraffe. The black cloth is a ouddle of water. Made by 5,5-years-old Willy from a wooden EDTOY kit.
Nets Tribe Soft Blocks – Coffee Colors
Another version of the Net Tribe jumbo soft blocks. This one also have blocks of two different colors, light and dark coffee brown. Like in other sets, blocks of different colors attract each other.
K’NEX Education STEM EXPLORATIONS: Gears – Crank Fan
Another model Knex Education Gears set proposes to build. The fan rotates if the crank is moving, and you can easily assemble this thing yourself.
Many K’Nex Education sets offer moving models, and can have gears and motors. Knex Education Gears set, however, doesn’t have a motor. The gears you rotate yourself are the only source of movement.
This set has relatively small pieces, so it will not be a good choice for the small children. Sometimes connecting pieces may also be though, so the best age for this set set is 8-10 years old. Even if this set has no mini K’Nex pieces, you should be very careful about giving it to any child under the age of 7. You should also be careful around the moving gears – they are not metal, but having hair stuck in it is still very unpleasant.
Moving crafts can be a great add-on to any K’Nex collection. However, this set has a relatively small number of gears for so many regular pieces, so you have to be precise while using them. The set also offers a very limited number of the possible models. This, however, is not a big problem, since K’Nex crafts are easy to invent, and this set is more than enough to create many different things.
Magna-Tiles Freestyle – T-Pieces
Another crafts from Freestyle set. This set set has normal tyles (transparent) and colored X-tiles. X-tiles can connect to each other in unusual positions because of free-moving magnets. Also this set has some less-common tile shapes, like T-shaped tile on the right.
