Great for imagination, fine motor skills and speech. I love this it opens so many doors for my children and all ages can enjoy it. This was bought for me to add to my sons kidknex collect and he uses it very well. Excellent buy.

I was a bit annoyed when I opened this and the box was about 10 times larger than the capacity actually needed for the contents - it looks a lot more than it is. Having said that my 3 year old was delighted by it and although she needed assistance with some of the models, gradually began building some of the simpler models herself. There are no step by step instructions, but there is a large sheet with illustrations of models which you can construct.

Great concept, too few pieces

Durability:

While the cover has many animals displayed and there is a window on the box showing it to be chock full of building blocks and such, there aren't that many pieces in the box. At most they fill up 1/4 of the box and can make one animal shown on the cover and maybe another smaller creature.
When you open the box you'll find a clear plastic box filled with pieces that is glued to the box's window. The rest of the box is pretty empty. While I wasn't expecting to be able to make all the animals, I was hoping there'd be enough pieces for my sons to create figures and explore designs without having to destroy the one thing they just made.
There are some very specific pieces (elephant ears, trunk, eyeballs) but most of the pieces are large and generic. This works well with smaller sets such as Lego but sometimes makes it hard to find the right piece for what you want. As an example, there seems to be no good way to make feet and there is a design for a giraffe that uses a connector for a face that just looks awful.
We also have the smaller K'nex pieces and there is no way to interface the two as one can do with other construction sets.
Overall, the lack of pieces and the assortment limit what can be done with this set and stifle creativity.

Kid K'nex - Great for any age

I have kids ages 5 and 8, and although Kid K'nex are marketed as a pre-school toy, I think they are much broader than that. Certainly, their chunky size and easy-snap assembly makes them extremely pre-school friendly, but at my house, kids from 4 to 12 (and, truth be told, adults too) all seem to really like creating the friendly, goofy creatures with Kid K'nex. So I expect we will play with them for many more years, and I intend to add to our collection. This toy is not one we will outgrow soon.
This paritcular set has some cute animal body parts (ears, eyes, trunk) but it also contains a large number of lego-like (Duplo size) pieces, which caught me by surprise. Initially I was annoyed that I hadn't noticed that before buying the set since we have an abundance of Duplo and always have arguments over eyes-ears-feet. This Kid K'nex set, however, has become a nice bridge between the two types of building toys, and I see even more animal-construction creativity coming out of my kids now that they have the full range of Kid K'nex AND Duplos to incorporate into their designs.
I highly recommend this toy for kids who like to create. Even if your child hasn't shown a real aptitude for or interest in building toys, with the Kid K'nex the creatures are so cute and varied that they appeal to anyone - girls or boys, artistically inclined or not. It's a fun, educational, creativity-inspiring product.

4th birthday present

Fun and durable. My son received this for his fourth birthday, and he has really enjoyed building with it; he gets it out almost every day. Each kit is small though, so we bought three different sets which seems to give him enough pieces for creativity.
