This Full House Giveaway #19: Review of Sesame Street Building Sets from K'NEX
[This giveaway has ended: WE HAVE A WINNER - Congratulations, Rebecca C.!!!]
Counting by one and tens with The Count, sharing a snack with the Cookie Monster and singing the, "Rubber Ducky Song" with MY best friends Bert and Ernie, these are the memories that resonate in the hearts (and minds) of children of all ages and it really doesn't matter how old you are, or where you grew up - everyone knows the way to Sesame Street.
This month, K'NEX (one of our house's favorite brands) is introducing a new line of Sesame Street building sets for kids ages 2-5 yrs. and, though my youngest is 7, I really do believe that a person is never too old to have fun and hope that my children NEVER outgrow their imaginations.
Partner two family-favorite brands (like, K'NEX and Sesame Workshop) and what do you get?
All of my kids LOVED building sets - once, they were old enough to get their chubby little hands around the pieces and NOT eat them - but, Kid K'NEX are specially designed for children ages two years and older.
The youngest audience for K'NEX, yet.
For instance, Elmo's World Building Set includes 47 pieces and, in my opinion, the brightly colored, character-shaped packaging (which, keeps parts neatly stored away when not in use) only adds to its value. Most especially, to parents who are just too tired to go scraping the bottom of the toy box.
Like me.
Play and Learn Activity Cards are also included - one side features alternate building ideas and the other side includes fun facts - a great way to get kids and parents to practice using their imaginations, together!
Want one?
My youngest daughter (she's 7) loved watching Elmo's World at lunch time (before, heading off to preschool) and we received Elmo and his Piano Building Set, courtesy of K'NEX.com, and we're just itching to give it away!
Why?
Well, I happen to think it would make someone's little one an AWESOME holiday gift and...you know...because, we roll like that.
