Finding a common toy that is age-appropriate for both my children really isn't hard: except when it comes to building blocks. The Guppy can't seem to grasp and put together the smaller blocks that the Mermaid loves to play with, and the Mermaid gets bored with the bigger blocks made for the Guppy's age.
Problem solved. Sesame Street has teamed up with K'NEX and is introducing a line of building sets based on Sesame Street. These sets are made for kids 2-5, and as the age recommendation suggests, both my girls loved playing with them!
The Mermaid loved building one of her favorite Sesame Street character and playing with the fun activity cards provided in the box, while the Guppy had no problem building with the colorful and chunky rods, connectors, and blocks. The set also included educational tips for parents that I enjoyed reading.
In fact, both girls enjoyed the blocks so much, that they forgot to argue with each other. Peace ensued. And they loved taking turns role playing with the Elmo character they just built!
In the end, I give this product two thumbs up.
K'NEX Sesame Street building sets are very reasonably priced, with sets starting at $10.99. Sets can be combined to let your child's creativity flow. Visit the K'NEX website for more information.
