briansmama Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi, My 5.5yo ds loves to build things. I'm putting together a big order from RR and want to get him a couple of fun items. Which is better? K'Nex Discovery Building set or GeoMags? He loves LEGOS, but the sets are really expensive, so I'd rather save that for his birthday list and hope the grandparents ask :) Thanks for any tips!

helena Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 We haven't tried the ones you've listed, but I can recommend these: http://www.rainbowresource.com/pictures/036681/1250288105-2088953 They are cheap, fun, and build up big quickly. Oh and they're easy to pick up :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbie Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 We have both of the ones you mentioned. I prefer K'Nex. We have the sets for little ones and the ones for older kids. They are always a big hit. If you are open to other ideas, My kids also love Superstructs. Rainbow carries them. They are similar to Tinker Toys but WAY better. All four of my girls will play with our set for hours. We have the fairy princess set, but they have a ton of "boy" sets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
