Review: Brought for the wheels! - We already have some sets but brought these because of the wheels and eyes, can make so many different things now. Hold together well so good quality, my 5 year old can use these himself and the 12 year old also joins in. I’m sure you could find a cheaper version but other brands don’t hold together well. Would make a great gift for any child, keeping them busy for hours.
Review: Great fun - My 6 year old found the original k'nex too difficult to click into place. These are great as easier to click in, the size makes this suitable for both him and safe for his younger brother to play with. They enjoy making all the animals on the idea sheet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this set come in a plastic case or is it loose in the box**
A: It comes loose in the box.

**Q: Would a child with weak fingers be able to do this? (My son has hypermobile joints. ) Thanks in advance!**
A: I think it might be a little difficult for him to be honest as sometimes quite a bit of strengh is needed to join the pieces together. Discussed it with the Dad of the child I bought this gift fof  and he was in agreement.

**Q: Is this compatible with the normal Knex**
A: No unfortunately its not the pieces are a lot bigger on this and much more malleable
