Hands on study of multiple bridge types with re-useable parts, realistic connections, and greater repeatability than build it once sets.

If your child loves other building sets he/she will be enthralled with this K'Nex Bridges set The instructions are easy for the builders to do on their own The set is big enough for a few children to build at the same time and also great for team work I assigned all of my children to build the projects one at a time taking turns being the foreman This worked great for all of my children ages 6 9 and 11 This set yields hours of play and fun engineering basics

I have this kit and the companion teachers manual and really enjoy how easily everything is laid out for you (both with the teacher's plans and the student kit) The instruction manual in the student kit lays out all the plans in an easy to follow format and the teacher's manual has wonderful insight as to exactly WHY different types of bridges are built the way they are Great activities that offer tons of FUN hands on learning!
