Product Description The perfect beginning set! Heavy-duty plastic gears spin and twirl together in a colorful display that kids will find fascinating.

Amazon.com "Mom! I made a crawling caterpillar! ... A rolling racecar! ... A ... thing!" With a whopping 95 pieces, Gears! Gears! Gears! Basic Building Set is a fantastic first construction toy for young builders. Bright, sturdy, uniformly sized plastic gears slip smoothly onto pegs on the square bases, which are easily linked together in any number of ways. Pillars and extenders expand the dimensional possibilities sideways, up, and out. Your 3-year-old will be an instant success at inventing any number of masterpieces with moving, working parts. Gears! Gears! Gears! holds plenty of intrigue for older siblings as well. An activity guide with instructions in English, Spanish, French, and German is included. And, as your little inventor grows, the basic set is perfectly compatible with other Gears! Gears! Gears! sets, including Wacky Factory and the Pulleys Plus accessory set. --Julie Ubben
Editorial Review For the young Rube Goldbergs of the world, this may be a gateway toy. With eight building platforms, 48 brightly colored, 2.25-inch plastic gears, a handle, and 39 connecting pieces, a child can progress from simple cause-and-effect play to constructing a racing car, caterpillar, or zigzag stairs. (Directions for assembly are illustrated, but preschoolers will need adult help). The activity guide (in English, French, German, and Spanish) provides two pages of instructions and suggestions for mini-experiments. This durable, easy-to-use toy is good for kids who like knowing how things work. --Louise Carter
Customer Reviews
Excellent toy Posted 22 October 2008
My three year old asked for this toy for her birthday because she likes playing with it so much at school. It's amazing. Hours of fun, both building the gears and using the pieces for any number of other games. It's a terrific toy - providing educational entertainment for multiple aged kids and adults. Highly recommended.
My Grandson loves this toy Posted 18 May 2008
I got this for my Grandsons 5th birthday. He had no problem fitting the bits together and devised many ways to make the gears work. The family is able to enjoy playing with this as well. If your child enjoys building things this would be a great gift.
A little boring Posted 15 January 2008
This was a gift for my 4 yr old for Christmas. He has played with it once. If you have a small toddler they would enjoy it, my son was a little too advanced for this.
Gears for Kids Posted 07 January 2008
I purchased this toy as a gift for my nephew and he loves it. He imagines
he's building a super high structure, a dinasour, clock, etc. It really helps with his imagination, dexterity and during playdates all the kids enjoy playing with the toy. I highly recommend it. Plus, it's easy to clean up and doesn't hurt if you accidently step on them.
