 grampa purchaseMar 28, 2010
By J. wolf
"big doc"
this is the greatest grampa/grandaughter (4) afternoon science project ever. great sorting and visual/motor stuff, wonderful opportunity for grampa to butt out of the problem solving and only come in as a last resort. the disassembly process encourages good work habits, the assembly process rewards planning...just an absolutely cool experience, as long as grandma is available to keep the two year old out of the mix

 Showcase model does not work as pictured.Oct 18, 2011
By Tell_It
The model that is showcased on the front of this set does not work as designed. The yellow steering wheel does not turn the car's axle; it just spins around on the blue rod (ie "steering column"). In the picture, the steering wheel looks as though it is attached firmly to the orange clip. Not. You can, of course, take the steering wheel off and just spin the blue rod itself and this _will_ turn the wheels. However, the name of this model is "Steering Wheel"(!!!) and it is the large model pictured on the front of the box! (You'd think it would work! My son is very disappointed because this car is the reason that I bought this kit.
I also bought this kit because we had the K'Nex Introduction to Simple Machines: Gears kit last spring. Every model in this kit worked and it was challenging and educational. "Gears" is a good buy, but "Wheels" belongs in the garbage.
This is the "Gears" kit:

My boys looooooove these K'Nex!Jul 27, 2012
By SS180Girl
Can't say enough great things about these K'Nex... great building toys - and it's hard to call them toys when they're so creative in so many ways - my boys will spend hours building, creating, redesigning and building some more with these, I'm glad I got them several different sets so they have endless options.

Perfect for third grade curriculum. Easy to use for children of this age. Included are illustrations that help child spark their own imagination.
 Great!Feb 07, 2013
By Ainsley's Mom
My daughter wants to be an engineer and these fit the bill. She will sit in her room for hours, follow the directions and then proudly display her creation. She has kept them together and has them displayed on her desk! Great for eye-hand coordination, direction following and comprehension!
