Disclaimer: As a K’NEX Ambassador I receive products for review; however, all opinions are mine and mine alone.
My kids are ages 7 and 10 and they still love Lincoln Logs and TINKERTOY building sets. They have become extremely creative lately and wanting to set-up villages in the basement for their toy figures/people. Having these sets to build with helps to expand their own creativity and critical thinking skills. Lincoln Logs require thinking to construct houses that will stay up properly, especially with windows and doors. There are so many different kinds of houses the kids can create. And as I said, they love putting little people in the houses and playing with them once their villages are complete. There are many different sets you can purchase, including a “Little Prairie Farmhouse.”
Product Info:
Lincoln Logs Collector’s Edition Homestead
The BIGGEST Lincoln Logs set ever created – over 330 parts, including real wood Lincoln Logs, just like you remember! Includes a frontiersman figure, 2 horses and a buildable covered wagon that really moves. Packaged in a beautiful, silver-accented tube for durable storage. For ages 3+. Suggested Retail Price is $99.99. Available at target.com, amazon.com, walmart.com and knex.com.
TINKERTOY building sets are also wonderful because kids can create just about anything with them. Let their minds grow and the sky is the limit. From windmills to jetpacks, those are just a couple of things my kids have designed with these sets. One awesome aspect is the fact they never get tired of playing with these toys, because they can always take apart old creations and design something new. Surprisingly, these are my 10-year old daughter’s favorite toys to play with. That truly shows these can be enjoyed at any age, even with the box showing ages 3 and up. You can get sets that range in number of pieces to different types of sets, including pink ones! How cool is that?

I have Lincoln Logs when i was a kid and totally forgot about them. I need to get some for my boys.
I had both toys growing up. I’m glad to know that both are still being made and that kids still enjoy playing with them. They truly are classics and so much fun!
Although I loved my Barbies and baby dolls, my favorite toys were Lincoln Logs. I not only loved building with them but I loved the freshly cut wood smell.
My nephew is kind of obsessed with building things. He would love some Lincoln Logs I am sure!!! They did a great job creating!!!

We were at the store a few days ago and y 13 year old son pointed at the Lincoln Logs and said he would like another set!
Lincoln Logs and Tinkertoy are the best! It’s amazing how much creativity can be had with such simple building systems.
My kids can play with Lincoln Logs for hours. It is amazing how their imagination just goes crazy. They have yet to get into Tinkertoys but soon 🙂
