My son received this for his 5th birthday and he loves it. I have read other reviews that say that it is too advanced for a 5 year old. It is only too advanced if your child has never put block models together with instructions. Our son is a building nut and he was through with all the TRIO blocks sets and wanted something else. He can follow the directions that are included easily with minimal help. Sometimes he needs help clicking the smaller pieces together, but otherwise he plays with this for hours at a stretch. Also, for all of these sets, you can go online to [...] and download complete instructions for all 20 dinosaurs shown on the box. You simply put in the code found in the pamphlet that comes with the toy. We had our son start with the easier models (one star) and then move on to the more challenging ones (three stars). We couldn't be happier with it.

This is a lower quality k'nex kit, in my opinion. It's hard to keep the parts assembled, so younsters will find it frustrating. Stick with the original k'nex kits that are of higher quality and much easier to assemble.

My boys have loved K'nex in the past. We have bought different types of sets, the ferris wheel for older children and a couple of the preschool age boxes as well. We have loved them all. This one is terrible. None of the pieces hold together, it is very frustrating to try and build them. Plus the other K'nex kits we have bought have had detailed instructions on how to build different types of things. This one gives details for two dinosaurs and the rest are just pictured so you have to try and guess which pieces make that dinosaur. We haved loved other ones but I am very displeased with this K'nex product.
