Will these work with Tinker Toys?

doubt it. K'nex straight pieces are thicker. so I doubt it. That said, I don't put anything past kids; they take 'no' as a challenge. And that's not a bad thing.

Will these snap into the regular knex too?

Kid K'NEX parts make the same kinds of snapping connections made with regular (standard and micro) K'NEX so younger children can learn about making those kinds of connections; however, the parts are not compatible with regular K'NEX parts.

why was the box I purchased full of tinker toys instead of kid knex pieces? My little boy was so upset

Hi there, Kid Knex and the plastic Tinker Toys that Basic Fun manufacture look alot alike - please email us at Basic Fun for verification but I believe these are Kid Knex. We look forward to hearing from you! (Unfortunately we are not permitted to post URL's on this page.) - Your Friends at Basic Fun

Would a 2.5 year old who loves building do okay with these?

Hi there, the item is age graded and tested for 3 year olds and up but if you feel your toddler is not putting items in their mouth and able to snap pieces together, then it is up to your discretion to decide if it is suitable. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call us at 561-208-7970 & happy building! - Your Friends at Basic Fun
