Unlike many K’Nex sets, this one has small figurines you can add to the wheel.

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.

This set is called Musical Ferris Wheel. The wheel rotates thanks to a tiny motor. You can assemble it in multiple ways.
Diversity Of The Pieces
Here I want to show our new crafts from K’Nex (during these cold weather, the children and I sat at home and played mostly with K’Nex). Our new set turned out to be a mixture of K’Nex and mini K’Nex (the kids called this set Lego-K’Nex because there are lot of Lego pieces with holes to join them to thr the mini k’nex pieces). We really liked the mini K’Nes – the parts attach to each other more easily than in a regular K’Nex, even though the crafts are not as sturdy. And it’s very interesting to connect large and small parts.

K’Nex Intermediate Set
This set has 395 pieces and offers 60 different crafts. It has classic K’Nex pieces – flakes, rigid and flexible rods, and rolling wheels. It’s a good basic K’Nex set with almost unlimited possibilities. Unlike some bigger sets, this one has no electric parts.
K’NEX Teeter-Totter
Mini K’Nex goes along with Playmobil sets pretty well – figurine’s hand firmly holds on small pieces. We made this teeter-totter by the manual, and then we built the swings. Then we run out of small pieces, so we had to built the carousel from the regular ones.

Another craft with Playmobil figurines and everything else from K’Nex. They go along surprisingly well.
