K’Nex Sesame Street Building Sets

Meghan Says:

Dylan has always been really frustrated with being the baby.  And I realize there are kids in the family younger than him.  I birthed one of them, so I’m painfully aware.   But, he’s the youngest of the “big” kids.  He has a cousin who’s 7 and another who’s 4 1/2.  They have all kinds of big kid toys that he covets, but he just can’t master.  It drives him crazy.  And in turn, it drives ME crazy because all he does is whine about it.  Incessantly.

So I was really excited when I was offered the opportunity to try out a new product from K’Nex.  K’Nex toys are one of the most frustrating things that Dylan’s cousin’s play with.  The older boys spend HOURS building “really cool” boats, planes and spaceships out of them.  Dylan always waits patiently for his cousins to build one for him.  But he’s just not old enough to figure out how to build something “really cool” on his own.

Until now, because K’Nex has just come out with products that are geared toward the preschool set!  After about 15 minutes of looking at the parts of the K’Nex Sesame Street Building Set and watching me play with it, he had it down pat.  He’s an Elmo building fool.  You can also turn Elmo into a dog, fish or duck.  He hasn’t been able to figure those out by himself, but he REALLY likes to “help” me do it.  And I don’t think the day of building independence are too far off.  He thoroughly enjoys playing with the pieces and every time he “completes” Elmo he’s so proud to show me.

Each set comes in it’s own box, so I’m not *too* concerned with losing parts.  But, let’s be honest, it’s ME and MY house, so parts will certainly disappear at some point.  But that’s not K’Nex fault!  Because they’re for “younger” kids, the pieces are bigger.  Which is a BIG help with Zach trying to get into it.  I don’t have to be hyper-vigilant to make sure he doesn’t get any small pieces, which is the case with other K’Nex sets.  And with prices starting at $10.99, it’s definitely something that’s economical.  Plus, because the sets come in all sorts of Sesame Street characters, there’s sure to be one that the kid(s) in your life will love!  I know I’m planning on adding to our K’Nex Sesame Street Building Set collection in the future.  Especially Super Grover.  I have a soft spot for him.

I give a Rating: ★★★★★  They ARE Hot, Hot, Hot.  But not to the touch.  That would be inappropriate for children.

But the BEST part?  I have a set to giveaway!  Just head over to the K’Nex site and check out the cool Sesame Street Building Sets.  Come back here and leave a comment about who the set would be for and your favorite Sesame Street memory or character!  The contest will remain open until 11:59pm on Sunday, October 5th.  I’ll pick the winner using a random number generator on Monday, October 6th and email them to let them know!  You’ll have until Wednesday, October 8th to send me your shipping information, or I’ll have to pick a new winner. One entry per person.  Open to US residents only.  And unfortunately we can’t ship to PO Boxes.

Good luck!

**P.S.  I can’t guarantee you’re going to get the K’Nex Sesame Street set you list here.  They’re drop shipping them directly!  But you’ll enjoy it either way!  That I CAN guarantee**

    Abby Cadabby!

  2. Jamie on September 29th, 2008 5:16 am

    The set would be for my son for his birthday.

    My favorite character of all time is Snuffalupugus (sp). I had a stuffed animal of him and still miss it. :)

    I would love to have the Ernie set for my little guy, Noah!

  4. Christina on September 29th, 2008 8:27 am

    It would be for my daughter, Saeler. I think my favorite character would be Oscar the Grouch…seems tough on the outside, but he’s a real softy at heart!

  5. Eternal Sunshine on September 29th, 2008 11:57 am

    Of course, Grover is my favorite!! My favorite Grover memory is “The Moster at the End of This Book” I had it as a kid, and I’ve bought it for my kids and my nephew as well… One of my best childhood memeories!

    The set would be for my nephew, if my kids (who are probably too old for it) didn’t hijack it first!

  6. Amy in Ohio on September 29th, 2008 12:11 pm

    This is easy. The set would of course be for my daughter. My favorite Sesame Street memory is meeting Abby at Blogher this year and getting some great video footage to share with P. To this day she asks to play that video.

  7. Insta-Mom on September 29th, 2008 1:27 pm

    My nephew adores anything Elmo. And the Sunny Days set…totally had me with the flippers!

  8. Kristin on September 29th, 2008 3:41 pm

    I LOVE Miss Abby Cadaby, and of course who doesn’t love Elmo. My favorite part of watching Sesame Street growing up was The Count, I was always so excited when he got to the number of the day!

  9. Ruby Soho on September 30th, 2008 9:22 am

    So, I’ve got this great little three year old who runs around calling me Mama every chance he gets. He’d be the lucky recipient of this. And, we really enjoy Grover because he’s the best. (I still like Oscar the best and on grumpy days wear my Oscar undies. TMI? Ooops, sorry.)

  10. FireMom on September 30th, 2008 3:28 pm

    Duuuuuuuude. I love me some Grover. And so does BigBrother. But I have a feeling FireDad would be playing with this the most. Heh.

  11. Grandma Pam on September 30th, 2008 3:43 pm

    I am a lover of Kidkinex and was happy to become aware of sets for younger children. Even I am uneligible for the giveaway, I would most likely give the set to……..DYLAN!

  14. Lesha on October 1st, 2008 9:32 am

    I’d love the Cookie Monster set for my little G. He’s almost 17 months and just starting to enjoy putting things together and taking them apart.

  15. Kristan on October 1st, 2008 10:21 am

    I love Bert and Ernie, and this would be for my girls, Kara and Anna.

  23. LiteralDan on October 1st, 2008 8:55 pm

    This set would be for my son, and I’d have to go with Cookie Monster as my favorite, over Oscar and The Count by a nose.

  24. Alyce on October 1st, 2008 10:23 pm

    This set would be for my son. My favorite character is Elmo, because my son loves him so much.

  25. Kimberly on October 2nd, 2008 2:45 pm

    I watched Sesame Street with my kids and now I watch it with my granddaughter. She would love the Cookie Monster Building Set. Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

  26. Julie on October 5th, 2008 9:34 am

    Oscar the Grouch is the best. How do they manage to make him look both *grouchy* and *cute* at the same time??? My daughter would love him.

  27. Tyler on October 5th, 2008 5:27 pm

    Bert is the best!

  28. Meghan on October 6th, 2008 7:01 pm
