As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 8 years of age.

I purchased this for a project in statics class. It was a lot of fun to use. I did need to purchase 2 sets to have enough pieces though.

This set was bought for a recent graduate with a degree in Construction Engineering who specializes in designing bridges. He had played with K'Nex as a child with many sets but had never seen the bridge set. He thinks this set is the best thing ever. He will be using it this fall to help teach my elementary students not only about bridges but about all considerations that have to go into them using this set and explain with these visuals the different types of bridges.

Review for K'NEX Education - Bridges
Posted 3/31/2010 by Jacque Melton

When my grandchildren opened the box they were thrilled. "K-NEX" yelled the ten year old boy. He and his eight year old sister and 6 year old brother played really well together, they explored on their own with them. Then they started using the diagrams of ideas. I loved watching their creativity, and their ability to work together. I have a couple more sets that I will get out after they have played with these a few more times. The kids also managed to keep the 1 1/2
year old busy without breaking their creations. I was glad to have the snap container to keep them in.
I am a third grade teacher, i would love to have these in my classroom. The students could use these hands on K_NEX to really learn simple machines, etc. Thank You

We used this building set in our homeschool study of bridges. The enclosed Teacher's CD had wonderful information and printable sheets. My 12 year old son had a blast building the bridges.
