This K’Nex set is relatively small one, with 65 pieces. Along with the usual rods and flakes, it has many long, flexible rod pieces, and some decorative pieces like hats or beak-like pieces.
K’NEX Kid Farmin’ Friends Set – Crafts
Category: KID K’NEX
K’Nex is a rod and connector building system invented by Joel Glickman. It was first introduced in America in 1992. K’Nex is designed and produced by K’Nex Industries Inc. of Hatfield, Pennsylvania.
Kid K’NEX building sets are specifically designed for children aged 3-5. With larger, softer parts that are easy for small hands to manipulate and snap together, these sets provide a fun and engaging building experience. They feature colorful pieces in various shapes and sizes, like blocks, rods, and connectors, allowing children to create simple structures, animals, and more. Special pieces like colorful eyes, curly tails, and bendable joints add to the engaging fun.
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.
This building toy promotes independent play, allowing children to create basic figures on their own and explore more complex structures with guidance. The set comes in a durable tub, perfect for family trips or easy storage at home. These preschool building toys encourage imagination, creativity, and the development of fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving abilities, cognitive functions, and spatial intelligence in young children.

Kid K’NEX Dino Dudes Set – Stegosaurus
Another big and complicated K’Nex model with few layers of flake pieces. I also uses the connecting rods as the decorative pieces, even though the set has the special scale-like pieces.
Kid K’NEX Dino Dudes Set – Big Beak
A very big and complicated K’Nex model. It makes a very good use of the flake-like K’Nex pieces. These pieces can connect to each other on all kinds of angles, and also stack. The set also has connecting rods of different sizes.
Kid K’NEX Dino Dudes Set – Little Dragon
Another Dino Dudes creature with the wings and a head this set has. Also note all kinds of the K’Nex “flakes” pieces that are the base of this model.

Kid K’NEX Dino Dudes Set – Long Dragon
This set has many unique decorative pieces, but also some decoratives that are classic for K’Nex. For example, these eyes and the green cone are pretty common among other Kid K’Nex sets.
Chinese Kid K’Nex
Here is an interesting Chinese version of the K’Nex called Genius. The quality is good, the details are exactly the same, even the color matches the shape of the original part. Pairs well with real K’Nex. The parts of the real K’Nex have slightly thicker edges and the parts are a little more elastic, but otherwise they are almost indistinguishable. We found it IRL, in one of the children’s stores and bought to the great joy of the younger ones. Before buying it, we did not yet have screws, large parts for cars and orange hemispheres. The children built a fun helicopter. The set contains 38 parts and a colorful booklet. There saw models with wheels, which means there are other versions of this construction set.
