REVIEW FROM MY CHILDREN :

We have had a blast over the holiday week end playing and building with the K’NEX toys. My 4 yr. old and even my 17mo. old daughters LOVE the Elmo play set with the big chunky blocks. They ride him around in his police car and try building him new cars. It has kept them busy for a long amount of time.

My older sons ages 12 and 10 have been being little vehicle designers. They have been trying to build airplanes, cars, and boats. I have taken some pic’s of their inventions.

“The X – Mobile”

My kids aren’t the greatest of builders, but they try

The 4 yr. olds car (ummm not sure what kind, lol)

A bit better

It never matters to me how good or not my kids creations are. I just like that they take the time to try.

FROM ME :

We are HUGE Sesame Street fans and Elmo and every character on there. I have always believed in Sesame Street for me and my children. It is sad when I hear kids nowadays not know what sesame street even is. I get heart broken !!!

This collection of the 40 years of Sesame Street is wonderful. It has come in handy for helping me keep my sick daughters in bed while having bronchitis recently. I try not to allow my kids to watch tons of TV but when they are sick and need to stay in bed so they can breathe, it is a great thing to at least have something educational for them to watch.

This Timeless classic will be a great addition to your children’s dvd collection.
