Toys and Games Reviews of Learning Resources - Gears! Gears! Gears! Wacky Factory (Set of 130)
Customer Review: Description is incorrect
Summary: 4 Stars
I specifically asked my MIL to get this set for my 5 year old son for Christmas. I thought he would especially love the chomping teeth and glow-in-the-dark eyes. My son loves playing with it, but I was disappointed because the toy does not quite match the product description put out by Amazon. There are no chomping teeth, or glow in the dark eyes, or eyeballs. It's just the gears with some stickers and the pieces to make them work. Of course my son doesn't know the difference, and it is a great toy, but it just isn't what I thought it was.
Description of Learning Resources - Gears! Gears! Gears! Wacky Factory (Set of 130)
Three sizes of gears and base plates make this the ultimate spinning, turning, twirling building set. This 130-piece construction set features easy-to-assemble interlocking gears, bases and connectors that are compatible with other Gears! Gears! Gears! sets, sold separately.Children create an intricate maze of colorful interlocking and spinning gears that turns out looking like the magical machinery in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The building process is easy and certainly a big part of the creative pleasure children will find in this toy. The idea is to stack and interconnect gears, using pillars, axles, and adapter pegs. The written instructions will be challenging for many children under 9 years old, but once adults show children how to get started, kids should have no problem taking off with their own factory plans. Gears come in an abundance of sizes and bright colors (along with psychedelic decals). The instruction sheet suggests three experiments for exploring how gears spin, how to gauge spinning speed, and how to understand gear ratios. --Gail Hudson
