Can you believe how close we are to summer vacation? I have friends with kids who are already out of school! It's hard to believe how quickly the school year seemed to pass. With summer vacation comes the need for summer activities. If you're looking for some activities to pass the time while they're indoors, our recent discovery just might help.

Here's my little guy enjoying one of the K'nex Classics Building Sets. The Strike Force Bomber set comes with 130 pieces, including 2 dart missiles. It can be used to create a fighter jet, bomber or drone. It retails for about $13.99.

  

Below, he (and his older sister) are putting together the Grave Digger 30th Anniversary Monster Jam  Building Set. It comes with 40 pieces and the box doubles as a ramp (don't throw it away!). There's also a cute little driver inside (at least I thought he was cute) and it retails for $9.99.
