K'nex is the world's most creative construction toys? What happened to Meccano?
Opinions? It would be good to hear what people actually creative thinking skills with modern K'nex children, and elderly people who have experience with Meccano. Information from Wikipedia is useful. I had already read the stuff about the history of Meccano on Wikipedia. I am glad to hear, what are peoples opinions and experiences.
I've always been into Lego. But my Twins had bought some K'NEX last birthday (they were 4) and they could be more creative with it. It was so easy to put together. You do not follow the instructions but could make things even. They had some Junior Meccano but it was as easy to use or as versatile. She could only model on the instructions. So it is Christmas Wish has on K'nex. Even her two-year-old brother before him. But if they are older they can follow the instructions.
