Lincoln Logs celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, and K’NEX is doing it big with the Lincoln Logs 100th Anniversary Tin, bringing all the nostalgia of this classic staple in the toy industry to a new generation of kids.

This 111 logs are made of real wood—and the whole set is made in the U.S. The tin that it comes in has a very vintage-y look, one that is reminiscent of the original. Plus, the tin is a fabulous way to store all of the pieces, so that you clean-up is easy once your little builder is done. It also prevents kids from losing pieces all over the playroom, since there’s an easy way to store all of them.

What’s cool is that you can build most of the model ideas that it comes with at the same time, so you don’t have to destroy one great creation in order to build up another. Of course, when it comes to using your imagination, the build-ups that can be created are endless.

It’s also a great set for the whole family to enjoy together. Whether you’re 9 or 99, Lincoln Logs are fun for everyone to build. Plus, it allows your family to unplug for awhile, and get some hands-on classic playtime in. Since there are so many pieces, it’s easy for everyone to get in on the fun.

This Lincoln Log set, like all construction sets, also has tons of developmental benefits in it. It encourages kids to play together, helping to develop social skills and interaction, as well as the foundations of team building. Since the pieces are large enough for kids as early as age 3, Lincoln Logs can help with physical development too, such as honing large and small motor skills. And—yep, you guessed it—you get some good STEM basics in there as well, with the foundations of engineering and even math coming into play.

Overall, this tin is packed full of nostalgic fun, so gather the whole family around and get building!
