K’NEX Mighty Makers

September 3, 2015 by abbie 622 Comments

Yay! I was selected to be a brand ambassador for K’NEX this year. What does that mean? It means that they send our family products to use and review. All opinions regarding the products are my own.

What they sent this week was the Mighty Makers Deep Sea Dive set. Mighty Makers is their new line they’ve created in an effort to increase young girls’ interest in building sets. My initial reaction to a new line of products “girl colors” wasn’t entirely positive, to be honest. I mean, the whole gender-specific-toy issue is one that can frustrate a lot of people, including my daughter who is not a lover of pink and gets generally disgruntled about “girl” toys being marketed in the typical way. Until we received this particular set, my daughter Elliott had no issues building with K’NEX sets in primary colors. Imagine that, right?

1

However….she really got excited about this set! The set design, box, and -yes- the colors appealed to her. Coincidentally, she’s been watching documentaries lately about sea creatures and learning about marine biology. This set and the timing of its arrival could not have been better! She thinks she might even pursue marine biology as she gets older and this kind of just reinforced that. Chalk up a point for Mighty Makers!

She busted right in, sorted pieces (that’s my girl!), and got busy building.

4

She adored the little diver and fish.

3

She snacked on veggies as she worked happily and (yay!) quietly. Feed your body, feed your mind.

5

Before long, she was finishing up the bottom “ocean” part.6

Working on the boat was more detailed and I think she enjoyed it immensely.

7

She was thrilled with the completed scene and looks forward to building the other two options that are part of this set. That will be another happy afternoon for my future marine biologist!

    Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering
    which blog platform are you using for this
    site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with
    hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment. There’s
    no doubt that that you need to write more on this issue, it might not be
    a taboo subject but generally people do not talk about
    these issues. To the next! All the best!! adreamoftrains

    Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to
    manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding
    know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! y2yxvvfw cheap flights

    Can I simply say what a comfort to find someone that actually knows what they are discussing
    online. You definitely know how to bring an issue
    to light and make it important. More people need to check this
    out and understand this side of the story. I was surprised you are not more popular
    because you surely possess the gift.

    My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.

    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a
    variety of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
    I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between usability
    and visual appeal. I must say you have done a fantastic job with this.
    Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Chrome.
    Outstanding Blog!
