Best Educational Toy!

I'm a preschool teacher for 6 years and Gears, Gears, Gears is one of the toys my students play with the most. It involves construction, physics, math, and the primary colors. My students are amazed when they build something and see how all the gears turn when they build it correctly.

Great for the curious little mind

What a great toy! My son first played with these in a doctors office and fell in love with them and then I got these for him for Christmas 2007. They are built well and I have had no issues with breakage of plastic and this is a great toy to develope hand/eye coordination skills.

The little green & purple spacers require some hand strength to pull apart so you may have to help your little one out until they build up their hand strength.

Side note: WARNING......Gears are adictive. I think I have more fun with it than my son.

Very worthwhile toy to get.

Noisy, but Fun!

These are fun, but very noisy. My nine year old just whips them together, but my 5 year old can build with them, too. They are a fun toy, and I would buy more of them.

Terriffic set for the young ones

I bought this set for my 4 and 2 year old grandchildren knowing that it contained only one size gear. I had also purchased the Gizmos set that has only 82 pieces, so I thought this would expand it nicely.

Well, kids are kids and we (and I do mean we, the three of us) wound up playing with this set by itself.

What great fun! The 2 year old took to it like a duck to water and was happily building gear layouts that did nothing but turn. But she love it. Turn the crank and all the gears clattered along, amusing her no end.

The 4 year old, who has experience with these at school, was more ambitious. It turned into a race between grandson and grandpa to see who could expand our creation in the most adventurous way. By the end, we had constructed quite a machine that clattered and whirred and used up most of the pieces in the bucket.

The verdict: this set by itself is massively fun and entertaining for a 4 year old, a 2 year old and their substantially older grandfather. Having just one size of gear is not a drawback. And this set does work well with the expansion sets.

Gears! Gears! Gears! is a great concept and I can see that I will be happily expanding our collection over the months to come. I hope the kids interest in it will be as ardent as mine.

Great Busy Toy

My son loves this toy. He can use his imagination for hours playing with this toy. I recommend getting the Motor Accessory for it. It's fine without it, but more fun to see your creation moving!

Gear up for hours of colorful action with this 150-piece set that enables children to create hundreds of three-dimensional construction possibilities. Set features plastic gears, connectors and interlocking bases packaged in a giant storage tub with an Activity Guide.
