Family Board Games are still some of my favourite family gifts any time of the year. My kids still enjoy a good game from time to time and so do we.

Beat Boredom By Building With K’NEX Mighty Makers #IAmAMightyMaker #Giveaways #TMMGG2015
K’NEX has a great reputation as a quality toy brand with educational potential for boys and girls who like to build. I always see their kits fully built out and tricked out inside toy store windows. I love some of the amusement park constructions and the more elaborate roller coaster builds are incredible. So, when K’NEX invited me to become a member of the K’NEX Blogger Network I was happy to join and test-drive the newest toys. Even I would welcome one of these K’NEX kits to build with.

It is essentially a small robotic escalator that also…
