We were recently given the opportunity to review a couple items from K’Nex, thanks to Team Mom. The first item is the K’Nex 400 Pieces Tub (for kids ages 7 and up) and the other item is the Sesame Street *Police Car* Building Set (for kids ages 2-5).

About The K’NEX 400 Piece Tub:
Loaded with 400 parts, including bricks, for lots of open-ended fun and endless building and play opportunities! Includes instructions and ideas for 20 models or use your imagination to dream up your own creations. The convenient storage tub means there is always a place to put your parts or take the fun with you wherever you go! For ages 7+.
Suggested price is $20.99 for the 400 pieces tub, recommended age is 7+, and they are available at Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys “R” Us.
Our Review:
'D' had a blast with this toy, he loves to build things and this kept him entertained for hours. He build a few of the things in the directions but than he ventured off and started using his own imignation. They get used daily, and I have stepped on pieces daily. Ouch! LOL!

Product Description:
Your child can build the NEW smaller scale police officer Elmo - dressed in his blue uniform and police cap - along with his police car! A "Play & Learn" activity sheet filled with educational fun for parent and child, plus additional building ideas, is also included. This 19-piece building set pairs perfectly with the Neighborhood Collection Police Station Building Set and includes a convenient storage box. Look for all the Neighborhood Collection Building Sets so your child can build his own SESAME STREET Neighborhood!
Suggested price $9.99
Our Review:
My youngest who is 2 1/2 loved this, the block were big enough for his little hands to grasp. We made the elmo police car once and than he took it apart and made his own version of it.
I will say this about the two products I was sent. My four year old seemed to be lost in the middle of the two. Too young for the 400 tube which is 7+ and too big for the Elmo Police Car that was suppose to be for ages 2-5.
