Highlights:
With Gears! Gears! Gears!® Machines in Motion, kids bring engineering concepts to life through hands‑on building and creative construction play. Using colorful interlocking gears and easy‑to‑connect components, kids can design and build real working machines that spin, turn, and move. An included activity guide helps kids get started with guided builds before encouraging open‑ended designs of their own. As kids build, take apart, and rebuild their creations, they explore early engineering concepts like cause and effect, motion, and mechanical design while strengthening fine motor skills, problem solving, and critical thinking. Designed for kids ages five and up, Gears! Gears! Gears!® Machines in Motion works with other Gears! building sets from Learning Resources, expanding creative possibilities and extending play value at home, in the classroom, or in homeschool learning spaces.
