Toys and Games Reviews of Gears! Gears! Gears!® Beginner's Building Set
Customer Review: This toy has it all!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit it -- this toy makes me want to shout "Wow! Neat! Awesome!" And if I were younger, I would definitely add "Cool!" I mean, this toy has everything. Oh, and my son loves it, too! He's not quite three years old, but he enjoys putting the base together, then placing each colorful gear on the pegs, and then -- Fun! -- turning and churning them with the handle. Together we've made some elaborate structures, and he looks so serious and industrious as he carefully snaps on a gear for each peg. Also, this toy is so open-ended and lets creativity soar! After going to the county fair, my son talked endlessly about the "scary rides," and this toy helps to fuel his imagination when we create all manner of exotic spinning rides. He surprised me by putting a gear on a connector and presenting the "flower" to me. He's made a terrific magic wand by stacking the pillars and connectors together, then piling gears atop that and some on the sides. Sometimes he turns the handle very slowly and studies how each gear turns the next one and the next one, and I feel good knowing he's having fun and learning at the same time. This toy has lasting play value, countless creative possibilities, is durable, educational, bright and attractive, and of course loads of Fun! Wow, what more could one want from a toy?!
Description of Gears! Gears! Gears!® Beginner's Building Set
The perfect beginning set! Heavy-duty plastic gears spin and twirl together in a colorful display that kids will find fascinating. This 95-piece set includes gears, pillars, crank, connectors and interlocking bases for endless building possibilities. For added fun, combine this set with the Gears Too! Add-On Set (sold separately)."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
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
