General Hosting Tips

We’re excited to help you host a Tryazon party! Whether you’re an experienced

host or giving this a try for the first time, we’re confident you can be successful

and have a fun time showing off great products, while enjoying the time with

your guests.

In an effort to help you, we’ve put together this guide and the following tips for

you to review as you prepare for and carry out your party:

• Take time to learn about K’NEX. Read through Getting to Know K’NEX

(pg.5). Experiment and become familiar with the party pack products

beforehand.

• Review Tryazon Great Host Tips to help you in successfully fulfilling the

party requirements and thus be more likely to be chosen again for future

opportunities.

• Invite a variety of people to your party. This is a great opportunity to

mingle with friends and family members. It’s also an outstanding way to

get to know your neighbors.

• Make sure you have enough room where you demonstrate. If space is

limited, consider having the event at a friend’s house who may have

more space.

• You can make this party a creative affair by including fun decorations to

match the party theme.

• Have all prep done before guests arrive. You want to greet all your guests

without rushing around your home.

party and planned demonstration by yourself or with family members. Use

free to make modifications as desired.

The remainder of this guide will help you become more familiar with your party

pack products and provide you with party planning & scheduling resources you

Getting to Know K’NEX

Founded in 1992, K’NEX, part of the Basic Fun! Family of brands, wanted to show

kids that the only limit to building was the size of their imagination! 25 years later,

K’NEX prides itself on connecting Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and

Math with imagination. STEAMagination can be found in every K’NEX set and

with it building dreams become a fun-powered, 3-D reality!

Winner of over 390 awards and recognitions, the K’NEX product line has building

toys specially designed for every age group and skill level. The K’NEX family of

brands includes IMAGINE Building Sets, Thrill Rides, K’NEX Education®, Kid

K’NEX®, K-FORCE Build and Blast®, LINCOLN LOGS® and TINKERTOY® both under

license from Hasbro, and more! From the living room to the board room, we are

proud to help build the leaders of tomorrow!

American Made

K'NEX rods and connectors are manufactured at an eco-friendly manufacturing

facility in Pennsylvania, The Rodon Group. While most toys are made overseas,

K’NEX remains committed to American design and manufacturing. Since 1992,

over 39 billion parts for the K'NEX building toy system have been made in the

United States.

Suggested Party Schedule

Greet and Mingle

Mingle with guests as they arrive. You may want to consider having a few

preliminary snacks or drinks set out for guests to have while they are waiting for

things to start.

When everyone arrives, consider introducing each attendee to the group or

having each go around and introduce themselves.

Introduction

• Introduce Tryazon

o You could mention that this is a Featured Party opportunity from

Tryazon (pronounced Try-uh-zon ☺). There are 99 similar parties taking

place this week within the US. Tryazon is a service dedicated to

getting innovative products into people’s hands and mouths, in fun

settings like this. They offer excellent product samples and savings for

Demonstration

We suggest that you open the boxes and lay out the parts before your guests

arrive to get their building ideas started! Explain that Kid K’NEX products are

made up of large, soft, chunky rods & connectors plus fun, whimsical personality

pieces. Designed specifically for preschoolers, building with Kid K’NEX aids in the

development of fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and manual dexterity.

They are a non-block building system ideal for exploring the basic concepts of

building and creating.

Depending on how many guests you have, give each guest a product to

experiment and play with. Use the information on pages 6 to help explain each

product.
