BUILDING BASICS
“HI! I’m your K’NEX Building Buddy.
Need help... I’m here! Look for
me to guide you as you select
models with the right level of
challenge.”
READY, SET, BUILD
To begin your model, find the and follow the
numbers. Each piece has its own shape and
color. Just look at the
picture, find the pieces
in your set that match
what you see, and snap
them together. Try to
hold your model in the
same direction as in
the picture so you’ll
attach your pieces to
the right place.

The faded colors tell
you this section is
already built. You’ll
want to connect the
new section to the
place where the
arrows are pointing.
These pieces will be
in full color.
SPACERS
There are places in your model where you
need to add blue
and silver Spacers.
Be sure to count
them carefully.
FLEXI-RODS
A Flexi-rod is a Rod that
you bend to make curves.
It will be easier to attach
to your model if you bend
it back and forth first.
PARTS CHECKLIST
LIGHT-UP RODS
Be sure to use the correct
ends of the Light-Up Rods
when building.
There are two different ends
on the Light-Up Rods.
The end with the metal tip
(contacts), must fit tightly
into the Light Module.
Push the metal ends of the
Light-Up Rods firmly into the
Light Module to make contact.
The other end fits into the
K’NEX Connectors.
CONNECTORS
There are blue
and silver
Connectors with
special long
slots. They slide
together as you
see in the pictures.
Push the parts
together until
you hear a “click”.
