We're well into the summer holidays, and I hope each one of you is enjoying the extra time with your kids. Around halfway through the summer, I usually run out of ideas to keep my very energetic 4 year old busy! If you're thinking of ways to entertain your kids too, there's a great new building product called Konstruk-Tubes which you may want to check out. Konstruk-Tubes is nice primarily because of the simple concept, and because it encourages your child to use his/her brain as well as mechanical building abilities. It consists of a set of plastic colored tubes and a set of plastic connectors, very much like plumbing tubes. You can use the connectors to link the tubes together in a variety of ways and create buildings, towers, shapes or anything else that strikes your fancy. The tubes come in three different sizes, and there are different types of connectors too, so you can create a new model every time. Konstruk-Tubes is available online for an MSRP of $29.95.

My child has these in his classroom, apparently the schools have purchased them. He say it’s a battle over who get to build things first with them. He seems to love em.
