My Review: For our review we were sent the “Candy Construction Building Set” by Learning Resources. This building play set is for kids ages 4 and up and in grades K and up. The set contains 92 pieces and some of them are small so any kids under the age of 4 should be monitored while playing with this set.

The 92-Piece Set Includes: 8 large swirl sticks, 8 medium swirl sticks, 16 small swirl sticks, 4 bendy twists, 8 green & 8 blue connectors, 4 orange & 4 purple drops, 4 red, 4 green &  4  yellow disks, 4 chocolate panels, 8 red & 8 green swirl connectors plus instructions. Everything is nicely packaged in a reusable storage box.

First of all, this building set is just way too cute! It reminds me of old-fashioned candy that you see in old-fashioned candy stores! Wow, that just brought back some good memories for me!

Little G is a little over 3 years of age and even though she no longer puts things in her mouth, I did make sure that we were monitoring her play time with this set since she is under the age of 4. (better safe, than sorry). My hubby got down on the floor with her and showed her all of the different building pieces. They then decided on what they wanted to build and he assisted her with building it.

What was really fun was that he quizzed her along the way asking her what color such & such piece was, what kind of candy was it and so forth. These type of building sets spark their creativity but…they are also great for  being a fun educational tool. In addition, it’s easy to keep clean and every other week I like to wipe down her toys with a soapy wet cloth to remove dirt and germs. The pieces are a hard sturdy plastic so you can keep them clean & germ-free!

Since receiving this Candy Construction Building Set, Little G and my hubby have been playing with it almost daily. Seriously, this building set is one of their favorite things to do together! We love it!

K'nex Angry Birds Mission May'Ham Building Set

K’NEX is a children’s toy company that I am very familiar with since I have many kids in my family who request that we purchase K’NEX brand construction and building toys, for their Birthday and Holiday gifts. I have purchased at least 20 sets of their fabulous building toys just in the past 2 years alone.

K’NEX has building toys for almost all of the age groups (Preschool up to Adult). Yes, even adults like my husband enjoy playing with the K’NEX line of toys! Furthermore, K’NEX is perfect for both boys and girls who love to construct and build things.

K'nex Angry Birds Mission May'Ham Building Set Our Review: The great folks over at K’nex sent us their new Angry Birds Mission May’Ham Building Set to review for all of you. This particular set is made for kid’s ages 5 years and up, due to the small parts. The set contains 178 pieces. If your child is into the Angry Birds building toys, they have additional sets available. They can all be used with one another!

With this particular building set, your child can build one of the levels that is actually featured in the original Angry Birds game! How cool is that? Way cool! Launch Red Bird and White Bird to destroy Moustache Pig, Small Minion Pig, and Medium Minion Pig. Includes a working launcher just like the game, enough parts to build and knock down, and a Golden Egg.

K'nex Angry Birds Mission May'Ham Building Set Your kids can have hours upon hours building the set and then shooting the angry birds to knock it down. My two nephews had a ball with this Angry Birds building set and played with it non-stop for almost 3 hours! My little grand daughter who is 3 years old was able to play with this set with assistance from us (she is under the 5 years age guideline) and she had a ton of fun with it too!

With fall birthdays and Christmas just around the corner, the Angry Birds Mission Hay’Ham Building Set would make an awesome gift for any little boy or girl on your gift-giving list! I love that all of the K’nex building sets come in sturdy boxes so that you can store everything together on your child’s bookshelf or in the closet. Always an added bonus!
