Another creature from an “exibition” we made. This one is huge, but friendly.
K’Nex Giant Beetle
Category: K’NEX
K’Nex, invented by Joel Glickman, is a building system that uses rods and connectors. It was introduced in America in 1992 and is designed and produced by K’Nex Industries Inc., located in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.
This toy consists of interlocking plastic rods, connectors, blocks, gears, wheels, and other components that can be assembled to create a wide range of models, machines, and architectural structures. These sets promote creativity, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination. They are suitable for both individual and group play and can be used at home, in the classroom, or in after-school programs. Kid K’NEX sets introduce young children to building and construction in a safe and age-appropriate way.
Playing with K’Nex supports various aspects of a child’s development. As they connect the different parts and explore how the building system works, they enhance their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, spatial awareness, and imaginative thinking.
K’NEX Long-Eared Bat
One of the creatures from the exhibition. The flag-like thing was supposed to be a poster with explanations, like the ones you can fin
K’NEX Funny Creatures Exhibition
We visited an exhibition of South American butterflies and small reptiles. After that, children decided to build their own exhibition for the Playmobil people.
K’NEX Scorpion On The Lawn
This is another model we made from K’Nex Mobile set.
K’Nex Intermediate Set – Helicopter
Just like any other K’Nex sets, this one has parts that can rotate. This allows kids build moving models, like this helicopter with rotating blades.
K’NEX Mobile Outdoors
The are detailed manual for building 3 models, and some more on K’Nex site. But you can actually build anything fro this set. The cars are very fast, so they are not for the indoor play. You can really use them only outside – the RC picks up the signal from a really big distance. On a smooth asphalt, the batteries hold on for a very long time, on a bumpy lawn they allow around 20 minutes of fast driving.
K’NEX Mobile Indoors
I want to show you our new K’Nex set. Knex-mobiles – a set for building radio-controlled models. My kids really liked it – every day you can go walk with a new radio-controlled car or some kind of monster. The set consists of a powerful motor with two large wheels (can’t turn, runs on 8 AA batteries), a block of front wheels (can turn), a remote control (powered by one battery) and a small bag with standard Knex parts.
Miss K’Nex Clone
We bought this set in a real-world shop. It’s a clone of K’Nex, but a good one. My son told me that this is “she”. She, the female robot, has no weapons (to my delighgt), and sherolls aroung and spins something in her hand.
K’Nex Intermediate Set – Hammerhead
A good thing about this set is a big number of long flexible rods (green on the picture). You can use them for construction of to outline and shape the craft.
Musical Ferris Wheel – Box
The package of this K’Nex set. The figurines and pieces look pretty much close to the real ones.
