There were few toys from my childhood that I enjoyed more than my building toys. I loved everything from wooden blocks and Lincoln logs to a short stint I had with a brightly colored, oddly shaped building toy called Zoogs. Needless to say, I was excited to play with the Learning Resources Gears! Gears! Gears! And take it for a spin.
CHECK PRICEMy Gears! Toy was sent to me frustration free from Amazon.com so there were no boxes or red tape to deal with. My playset was sent in a clear plastic bag and once opened it was ready to play. There were no batteries and no set up but there were also no instructions or suggested building structures.
There are several pieces in the Learning Resources play set. Several gears (obviously), several small rectangular extension pieces and a handle for turning the gears in whatever creation you can think up. I really liked playing with it and everything fit well together on the base it came with. There is virtually no end to what you can create and fit together.
I really like that there is no end to the play possibilities with this set and everything fits together really easily.
I really don’t like that this didn’t come with any suggested plans or machines that you can make perhaps this was an oversight since I did get it frustration free but I did miss having instructions.
The Learning Resources Gears toy is recommended for all players above the age of three. There are no choking hazard pieces but the pieces go together a little more complicated than other building toys so some extra hand/eye coordination is helpful.
I would definitely recommend the Learning Resources Gears! Gears! Gears! To anyone in the market for a new and innovative building toy. This toy is a great puzzle and hand-eye coordination game and I really had a lot of fun playing.

I had the opportunity to play with the John Deere Gearation Magnetic Board this week. This magnetic board certainly offers a different type of play. I did enjoy my play time with this John Deere-themed play set although I am not sure it is going to hold attention for a long time.

The QuadPro Brain Flakes 570 Piece is a really unique type of building set. The snowflake shaped pieces secure together any way you like and can build any number of things! I built a snail myself and I had plenty of Brain Flakes left over for other creative masterpieces!
