K’Nex Dueling Racers

K’Nex Dueling Racers are one of the new Spring products that K’Nex has come out with this season. My husband and son have been playing with this K’Nex set the moment we got it and now they have a blast building their race cars every evening before bedtime. It has become a great way for the two of them to have fun together and create some very cool cars.

The K’Nex Dueling Racers set includes instructions to build two battery-powered race cars at the same time. Each race car has instructions for two different models. It’s also really easy to be creative and to design your own race cars once you get the hang of how to build the model cars. The set comes with 132 pieces, including two motors and all the K’Nex building elements, so the possibilities are endless. Also, K’Nex building elements are compatable with other popular building systems too, which opens the possibility up of creating even more elaborate cars. This particular K’Nex set is for children seven years and up, and requires 4 AA batteries to power the motors.

K’Nex also has two other new additions to it’s Spring line: the Cool Construction set and the Rescue Assortment, both of which feature colorful new bricks and can be mixed with any of the other set in the K’Nex line for even more fun. Both of these sets are geared toward the younger builders, as they are recommended for ages as young as five and up.

Madcapz

MadcapzThe sun is coming out and what better way to protect our little ones heads than a great cap! My son has been sporting his Madcapz dinosaur cap for the last two weeks since the sun has been in full force here in the Midwest. He has become a big fan because he just loves the colorful dinosaurs and it fits him so well. I also like it because it is machine washable and air dries quickly, which is important with my son who loves to get into the sandbox!

MadcapzMadcapz are the creation of a mom who was looking for something more fabulous than a traditional men’s baseball cap, both for herself and her children. Madcapz manufactures and sells all styles of infants’, kids’ and women’s caps, and also women’s visors. Lightweight and comfortable, Madcapz are 100% cotton caps made in the USA. These caps are more stylish and sporty than the traditional baseball caps, and have fun designs for kids – both for boys and girls. The infants’ caps fit most babies between 3 and 9 months and have an elastic band in the back for a comfortable fit. The kids’ caps fit most kids between the ages of 4 and 10 and have a Velcro strap for easy adjustment. My son is almost 3 years old and his cap fits him well with plenty of room to grow.

Definitely check out the Madcapz website and take a look at their great products. They are very reasonably priced and will surely be a big hit with you and your kids!
