August 9, 2010 K’Nex Thrill Rides: Light Up Ferris Wheel Review and Giveaway
Looking for a way to keep the kids busy for a while? Well, this may be the giveaway for you.
As a participant in the She Blogs Summer Tour, Three Boys and an Old Lady was given the opportunity to review the K’Nex Thrill Rides Light-Up Ferris Wheel.
This K’Nex building set is for ages 9+ and includes over 525 pieces and when constructed stands over 2’ tall. The building set requires 2 AA and 3 AAA batteries (not included) and retails for approximately $49.99.
Los Tres Amigos love building sets and were eager to begin construction once the set arrived. It took us awhile – did I mention there are over 525 pieces – but it was neat having everyone work on this building project together. I’m not the master builder so I was in charge of distributing the needed parts while Los Tres Amigos and hubby did most of the building. Once we finished constructing the ferris wheel we could hardly wait to turn off the lights so we could view our newly created masterpiece. One word – AMAZING!
Three Boys and an Old Lady is committed to companies like K’Nex which enhance children’s creativity. K’Nex offers tons of educational resources for parents and educators and we downloaded the ferris wheel activity sheet. The activity sheets contain discussion questions and additional activities which help connect the K’Nex building experience to real-life scenarios.
Buy it: Visit K’Nex online [retail $49.99]
Win It: K’Nex Thrill Rides: Light Up Ferris Wheel for one lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady follower.
Giveaway is open to residents of U.S. and ends at 11:59 PM on 8/23/10. Winner will be selected via Random.org and will be notified via email. Winner will have 48 hours to respond.

My son is enthralled with everything that "goes around and around." I think that the K'nex would be a great way to reinforce concepts about motion and nurture creativity. fun.mom.cher at gmail dot com
