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.Â
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.Â
The many pieces click together with interlocking teeth, just like real gears.Â
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.Â
This set is compatible with all other Gears! Gears! Gears! sets.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
