K’NEX Education ‒ STEM Explorations: Roller Coaster 2
Another roller coaster made from K’Nex education set. It has classic K’Nex pieces, as well as rarer railroad pieces.
Taikon Flowers
Flowers made from Taikon and Connect-a-straws set. The flower stands strong on the Connect-a-straws stem, but on Taikon it falls when installed on the plate. The Taikon stem is too long and doesn’t really hold in place, but the lily from Taikon is very pretty. Anyway, both flowers are pretty and were gifted to me.
Building straws, also known as building tubes, are a popular type of construction set with unique possibilities. They allow you to create silhouettes and contours of different objects and animals. All crafts from these sets can bend and move, so kids can actually play with their creations.
Instead of blocks, these sets have flexible plastic tubes, that look and act like soft cocktail straws. They can bend in any way and hold any position you want. The tubes usually attach to each other with special plastic connectors. The connectors can look and work differently in the different sets, but there are always many ways the straws can connect. The most common version is hard pins that go inside the straw’s hollow end, fixing it in place. Some connectors of this type have only one or two pins, some may have eight or ten. They also can have different forms, like sharp corners or straight rods. However, this connection type usually means that you can connect the straws only with their ends, and never with their middles.
These straws have great building potential, but, sadly, they can’t hold their shape under pressure (unlike, say, block towers that can hold something on their top). The straws’ building possibilities also depend on how long they are.
Leaning Tower Of Pisa
For a long time, my kids didn’t play the story-based games with building kits. They only wanted to build something, ttake it down and build again. But then they discovered that they can build scenes to play with other toys. This is the Leaning Tower of Pisa they made for a game about Italian holiday, along with Pirelli Tower.

Smartmax Bucket
I liked the barrel for how spacious it is – you can put 60 parts there, no less, and the cars can be sent to the barrel intact without dismantling. You can also put it on its side and open from 2 sides! The barrel is closed with 2 screw caps.
