Sesame Street, on television since November 10, 1969 is the longest running children’s program on American television and is a childhood staple. K’NEX Sesame Street building sets give our children a fun way to interact with their favorite Sesame Street characters. These new character building sets come complete with K’NEX rods, connectors and blocks that can be snapped together. Beyond the standard K’NEX building pieces, each Sesame Street K’NEX character has its own unique pieces like Oscar’s pet worm and funny eyes. Each Sesame Streen K’NEX building set includes additional building ideas.
When I saw that the Sesame Street K’NEX building sets are for ages 2-5, I was thrilled because there aren’t many building toys that Madelyn, my two year old daughter, can actually build. With most building sets the pieces are too small or too difficult for a two year old to snap together but these K’NEX pieces are large enough for Madelyn to hold onto while she snaps the pieces together.
As a mom, one of the things I appreciate most about the K’NEX Sesame Street building sets is that they are self contained. The Oscar the Grouch pieces, for example, are stored in a garbage can container.
Other characters include Ernie, Cookie Monster, Grover, and Abby Cadabby. Pieces from different sets can be combined to make some very silly characters!

brother of famous illustrator Norman Rockwell. Jarvis Rockwell’s concern for safety, durability and educational play earned him recognition as America’s premier toy designer during this period and Holgate has kept their standards high throughout the years. You will find Infant Toys, Educational Toys, Developmental Toys, and Personalized Toys at Holgate Toys. Holgate Toys was turned to by Mr. Rogers to manufacture replicas of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Trolley and other toys. If I remember correctly, Mr. Rogers was a bit meticulous so can you imagine what kind of requirements he had for the toy line? Holgate obviously met and probably exceeded those requirements and to this day still manufacturer’s Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood toys.
When we read one of Steve’s books Sebastian enjoys talking about it afterward. Sebastian usually doesn’t want to talk about the meaning of a book, the characters or illustrations but he gets so into the characters and the stories that he sometimes continues the story with his own ‘next chapter’.
