This magnetic modaic set by MindWare is an unusual one – it has bright, colorful patterns on the pieces themselves. So anything you build comes out even more flashy than with other similar kits. This set has a magnetic board to assemble the patterns on, 60 idea cards and 60 mosaic pieces.

K’NEX Education – STEM Explorations: Swing Ride – Wheel
Another motorised carnival ride by K’Nex. This one is from the Knex Swing Ride kit .
Many K’Nex Education sets offer moving models, and can have gears and motors. This one also have one motor to power the movement of your crafts.
This set has relatively small pieces and an electric motor, 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 Knex Swing Ride kit 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.
Playmobil T-Rex
Another dino-riding warrior, this one is by Playmobil. This dinosaur has cannons, spears and can fall stones from the basket on its back. As always with Playmobil, it is more fun to play with than to build.
Danny’s Parking Lot!
Danny made this futuristic parking for his cars. The only problem yet is metal cars occasionaly sticking to it.

This fisherman sits in a canoe with a harpoon over a school of fish – fishing should successful.
The Portrait
Perhaps this is a portrait of a owl with a mustache – happened out somewhat unexpectedly… The sculpture stands on a trapezoid from the Tegu Explorer set.
Magtastik Dragon
A three-tailed dragon. Made from Magtastik building kit.
Decoy Fish
The fish was made by Alesya specially for the otter. Last summer we vacationed on a lake that was home to otters, cute and plump creatures with webbed feet. One morning we found these webbed marks on a plate with the fish left for breakfast. Alesya was indignant and in the evening she made a fake fish so that the otters would pay attention to this decoy fish, and left our fish alone.
