I received the Lincoln Logs Redfield Ranch in order to facilitate my review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I can remember spending literally hours as a child playing with my Lincoln Logs. I don’t recall which one it was, but I do know that they were a Christmas gift (there’s photo evidence to help my memory). The rest of that day and many days into the future I would lay on the floor, carefully fitting the logs into dozens of different patterns.
Lincoln Logs were a tradition that I knew I wanted to share with Bubbles. They inspire creativity, building skills, and imagination, which are great elements for playtime. Plus it was something I could play with her that I already knew I enjoyed.
Lincoln Logs Redfield Ranch
I recently learned that K’NEX had released some new Lincoln Log sets – like the Lincoln Logs Redfield Ranch (available exclusively at Toys ‘R Us). There 124 of the same classic wooden logs that I played with, plus a few updated additions like plastic roofs and window and door inserts. The Redfield Ranch also has two figurines that a ranch wouldn’t be complete without: a cowboy and a horse.
The Lincoln Logs Redfield Ranch set is recommended for ages 3 and up so I thought it would be appropriate for Bubbles as a starting set. She has already had as much fun playing with them as I did when I was young. Fortunately Daddy was a fan growing up of Lincoln Logs, too, so she has a second architect she can play with.
There are included step-by-step instructions for different building options. You can easily just use the “log” container that the Lincoln Logs come in as a guide for creating the house. And of course half the fun of any construction set is coming up with your own designs!
As I mentioned, the Lincoln Logs Redfield Ranch set is only available Toys ‘R Us but plenty of other Lincoln Log sets can be found on Amazon, at Target, and other national retailers.
With whom would you like to build Lincoln Logs?

I used to love Lincoln Logs when I was a kid. My cousin had this huge set and we’d always play with them when I visited him. Would it be weird for me to buy some for myself as an adult? LOL!
Not weird at all! Because I would totally consider it, myself 😉
I have never played with Lincoln Logs or even seen them in person, is that shocking? I do think they are a great idea and one I may consider buying for my kids in a few years.
Oh my gosh, Kathleen! You can come over and play with us; everyone should have a Lincoln Log experience!
