If you\u2019re struggling to entertain a group of bored kids on a rainy day, cracking open a K\u2019NEX kit is bound to go down a treat. The brightly coloured interlocking pieces let you build creative, and often elaborate, models. The individual cogs, wheels, rods and pieces found in K\u2019NEX kits satisfyingly click together. Kids can build freely, or follow a specific model, so it\u2019s an easy way to keep children occupied for endless hours. Or of course nostalgic adults who fondly remember past creations can get stuck in too.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve included a range of fun kits, from quirky modes of transport and googly eyed dinosaurs<\/a>, to functioning six-foot Ferris wheels. You\u2019ll also find a couple of Kid K\u2019NEX kits for younger children so everyone can get involved.<\/p>\n

It would be a great gift for kids who are big on their transport!

With the addition of colour-coded rods, it\u2019s a solid choice for children who enjoy problem solving. If you know of a budding engineer looking for a new project, this kit could do the job nicely!<\/p>\n
