What is K'NEX?
K'NEX is one of the most successful construction kits in the world. It is based around a series of "Rods", which can be joined together by "Connectors", such as the one shown in our logo. Once they have mastered using these simple components, children and adults alike can use their
imagination to make potentially millions of different working models.
