Christmas Giveaway 2007 Sweepstakes

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.

KNEXI 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 KNEXKid 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!

If you want to be one of the lucky three, all the instructions are explained in the Christmas Giveaway 2007 post (including the code to put our Christmas Giveaway button on your site.)

  91. Please enter me into this contest. I just recently read that children who play with blocks and constructing blocks like K’nex makes children smarter. They say children who play with blocks, lego’s and k’nex are much more inteligent than children who don’t. I would love to win the K’NEX 15th Anniversary Tub and a KID K’NEX Undersea Pals Tub. It would be awesome to have my child play with this neat and fun blocks, all the while she will be increasing her learning power…. so cool!

  410. I LOVE K’NEX! (Ahem, and my kids do too…) 🙂 The Science Center here had a huge interactive display of K’NEX quite a few years ago. We could view HUGE models people had made (Ferris Wheel, Roller Coaster, etc.) and everyone got to make a helicopter to take home. We paid (by the pound) for a rocket my son made. That was when I fell in love with K’NEX. I grew up with Lincoln Logs and Tinkertoys–which are great–but this is a wonderful new level. Yeah, I like K’NEX. 🙂
