Racers 20+ Model Building Set

I bought this K'nex set  a couple of months ago for my 5 yr old son.He loves playing with it.
Also on the box they mention that you can mix and match the blocks with other popular brands , however I disagree because the blocks in K'nex are a little rounded and those of Legos are very sharp and pointed and  I personally don't agree that you can mix-n-match.
One of the connector broke in a couple of months.
The box contains only a few instructions for making models.In order to build all the 20 you need to download the instructions from K'nex website of  instructions @ http://www.knex.com/Multi-Model-Sets/   and using the download code 12055.

Free child ID kit

A child id kit allows partents to store vital information about their kids like fingerprints/hari sample etc.
It is very important to get a child id kit for your kids as in the event of missing a child or abduction this information is very critical for police to help finding your child.
We went to our local police station in the great mall in milpitas to get our child id kit free.
The process was very simple and the following things were done
  • Child was fingerprinted and the fingerprint stored on their computer.They gave us a printout of the fingerprint for our records.
  • The form which had fingerprints had a place to attach a photo which the police requested be changed every 2-3 years so that you have the latest photos of your child.
  • They took a picture of our son and stored it their database
  • They gave us a small ziploc to pull out one hair from the roots from our son for DNA sample

  • The process was pretty fast and I would encourage all parents to find a local police station which can ID their child.
