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.

This set has 48 kid-sized pieces, including 2-inch-wide red star and stick with length of different lengh between 2 and 9 in. New items include collapsible men compatible with Duplo blocks, bunches of algae, which you can use as an original hairstyle or fins of an fantastic fish . The set also includes 6 in long flexible purple rods, previously Kid Knex produced only red flexible 9 in long rods. The remaining details – flippers, eyes, blocks – will help you create your own underwater world and populate it with magic creatures.
Kid Knex Undersea Friends Diver consists of 7 parts: block with feet, block with hands that don’t move, head, hair, mask, scuba gear and fins. You can only add the fins to the feet with shoes on. So diver’s barefoot friend cant wear them, but they can share a mask and scuba gear. They are cute, we liked them.

Kid Knex people consist of several parts, and you can combine them with Duplo blocks. The kids made these Pacific Islanders.
We used Kid Knex and Duplo parts in this one. The new Kid Knex men can attach to the Duplo 2×2 block, but not to the plate. If you try to do it, figurines’ toes interfere, because here the little men sit with their legs dangling.

K’Nex crafts go pretty well with any toys of roughly same size.
