Don’t you just love watching your children play?

Most of the time we busy moms probably miss the chance to stop and watch our kids play. As soon as they aren’t tugging at our legs or begging for another juice box, we grab the chance to get something done. But if you do take a moment to pause and watch your children as they engage their imaginations and play, I think you’ll be inspired.

I especially love to watch kids play with toys that allow creativity and get them building or making something. Not only does it keep them busy for a long time but it builds their imaginations and fine motor skills.

And so I love K’NEX.

I was introduced to this ingenious toy by Janice’s 5 year old Jackson. I stared in amazement as this boy who normally bounces off the walls quietly played for hours constructing creations all his own.

And soon my little Julia — now 2 and a half — will be old enough for Kid K’NEX. I know she is going to go wild for them.

Kid K’NEX is made for 3 to 5 year olds and has easy-snap KID K’NEX rods and connectors.

Thanks to the folks at K’NEX, three of you are going to win a prize pack including a K’NEX 15th Anniversary Tub and a KID K’NEX Undersea Pals Tub.

The KID K’NEX Undersea Pals is for 3 – 5 year olds and the K’NEX 15th Anniversary Tub is for kids aged 5 and older. If you’ve got children in those age ranges, this is the contest for you!
