Having Fun With KRE-O Transformers By Hasbro #HasbroKREO #Spon

December 12, 2012

I have another addition to the 2012 Tween/Teen Holiday Gift Guide! You’re going to love these Transformers building sets!

KRE-O Transformers

We have been having a lot of fun lately playing with a toy – a toy that’s not Legos. You all know that doesn’t happen often, right?

KRE-O Transformers sets by Hasbro let kids build Transformers in robot or vehicle form using the same bricks! The little KREON figures are adorable – and they have moving joints in their arms and legs, which made Jack say something I never thought I would hear him say… “Mom, these are cooler than Legos!”

Gift ideas for Tween Boys

Jack loved that the toys had moving parts and even fired missiles :) The smaller sets or the KREON Micro-Changers (just $2.99!) would be a great stocking stuffer or kid’s gift exchange gift, and the larger sets are a great project for the family to work on over the Christmas holiday break – we have been spending a lot of time together in Jack’s room putting these together!

KRE-O Transformers Robots

As far as ages, let me help you find appropriate sets for your kids:

Pre-Tween (ages 6-9)

Tween (ages 10-12)

Gifts for boys

You can see all of the Transformers sets at the KRE-O Transformers website and keep up with KRE-O Transformers on facebook and twitter.

Don’t forget to add KRE-O Transformers to your holiday gift list!

My son is obsessed with these! Almost as bad as his Lego obsession. He loves building and destructing. He’s almost 4 so under the recommended age range but enjoys the challenge of building each design.

We are a LEGO family but my boys, including my husband, all love the Transformers line too. They have made quite a few gifts in our house and definitely are fun!

My little man is a little too young for these now but I know if Jack’s picking it over Legos, he’s going to love it when he’s old enough.

I love that kind of thing for stocking stuffers, but those monster kits make great presents too. And cooler than Lego’s? That’s a statement!
