My kids love puzzles, so when I received the Kid K'nex Oscar the Grouch Building Set, I was excited. I loved Sesame Street as a child and was excited to see Oscar as a puzzle. However, after checking out some of the pieces for the puzzle, I was a bit puzzled myself. The building set is intended for ages 2 and up. But, there is a long skinny puzzle piece (part of his leg) that could easily get jammed in the back of a toddler's throat or poke an eye.
While I love Oscar the Grouch and the little pet worm that comes along with the set, I really can't see a 2-3 year old playing with these without constant adult supervision. Other than that, I think this might be a cute Christmas idea for ages 4 and up! Below is a photo of the product I received. Cute huh?
i guess its ok....
ReplyDeleteAges 4 and a long way up, I would think.
ReplyDeleteVoice,
ReplyDeleteIt would be okay for those who enjoy puzzles, but older kids outgrow sesame street before they outgrow puzzles. I think I stopped watching it when I was about 6 or 7.
Dave,
Well, I for one might put the puzzle together once, but I couldn't see my 14 year old doing it unless he's really, really bored.lol My 11 year old might. Now the younger three def would.lol
