This engaging toy set offers children a fun and creative way to explore building and mechanics. While it is designed for kids aged three and up, adult assistance is often needed for assembly.

Overall, it provides a valuable learning experience for young builders.

Good constructive toy for a 3-year old. No fancy electronics. No batteries needed. Just a fun way of getting a good lesson in geometry and spatial lessons to help the development of a toddler's mind.
Engaging play

Lots of fun! It mentions that it is for kids starting at age 3, but an adult definitely needs to help with the assembly. Once you have a design, 3yr olds could definitely use to turn the gears.
Just okay, nothing spectacular

My grandson loves building things and creating all sorts of interesting designs and things. This set does not feed that creativity. Limited things you can do with it and the pieces are difficult to attach.

This product just amazes the students. The Pre-school children love this manipulative. They put the grids in different formations, add gears, and see if they turn. Of course, they always do! LOVE this product!

We love our gears!!! Great tool for motor skills. Really makes them problem solve and use critical thinking. It is extremely durable and sometime a little tricky for their little hands to take apart but I would rather have that then it not be sturdy and fall apart. I think it's amazing the different ways I can build to make it a spinning tower or just a flat board of spinning gears. You can also challenge them by telling them only certain colors can go horizontal or vertical so they can problem solve their way through it or just let them have fun of their own.

I played with my step grandchildren (4.5 years) and she was not able to do it at first. Then after we build one, she got lots of fun building more on her own. It was FUN to see her use her IMAGINATION to build her own ideas. You can use it indoors or outdoors.

We received this as a gift and I think I love it as much as my son. I wasn't sure at first what to think of it but as soon as we set some up and starting turning the crank, we were both hooked. It is mesmerizing to watch and create. We are excited to build on with other kits, too! But, clicking the base pieces together is a little bit challenging and holding the base still while turning the crank can be tough. It's hard to not touch gears while holding the base steady, so you can end up stopping the whole thing from working. I'm sure as kids are older, they can solve the problem. But my 3.5 year old has me hold it down while he cranks the handle at full speed to his total delight.
4 stars because of tight fitting pieces

I love this product because children can learn how gears work while playing. This is a Science standard in most states and children get a good opportunity to explore this concept!
