The picture above 5 days ago shows Little R wearing shorts and a sunny, warm day outside the window. As I type this we have a snowstorm covering the lawn in white. That means it’s time to start making more plans for playing indoors on those cold, blustery winter days. That’s especially the case since we have the long days of Thanksgiving and winter break on the horizon.

One thing we have to fill those days with fun is the all new K’NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster building set. While we have liked all the K’NEX sets we have checked out, this one is pretty awesome in that the coaster it creates is over 2 1/2 feet high! It has a star-filled carnival theme with a motorized chain-lift that propels the coaster car on its way through 14 feet of twisting and turning track!

To help put the coaster together, there is a large booklet of easy-to-follow, step-by-step building instructions to assemble the 580 parts. And once we build the original coaster, we can download a set of instructions for a second coaster from knex.com! The set is designed for builders aged 9 and over, but 8-year-old Little R is able to work on it just fine. The K’NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster building set is available exclusively at Walmart.

STEMagination can be found in every K’NEX set and with it your building dreams become a fun-powered 3-D reality!

    We have a couple K’Nex sets that we’ve assembled. We’ve even used the leftover pieces to make jewelry from!
