Gears Building Set - Machines in Motion

The blue one, the yellow one, the green one... add some wheels, click the pieces together, and suddenly it’s a crane… no, a tracked vehicle… no, a tank… or maybe something completely different!

Your child's creativity will kick into overdrive the moment this colourful building set from Learning Resources comes out of the box. 

With 116 different pieces, children can build, create, and explore the spirit of open-ended play—a popular approach to modern play and learning. Open-ended play means there are no fixed rules or instructions, allowing children to follow their imagination freely. Children can also use the included guide to build exciting creations like a tank with a helicopter rotor on top or imaginative machines with working cranks and moving gears. 

The many pieces click together with interlocking teeth, just like real gears. 

Along the way, children learn how gears work and discover the basic principles behind many of the machines and vehicles we use every day. Gears are widley used to transfer movement and energy from one part of a machine to another. 

This set is compatible with all other Gears! Gears! Gears! sets.
