Learning Resources Gears! Gears! Gears! Fun Land Motorized Gears Set, Building Toys, Ages 5+

The 5 year old & the 40 year old enjoyed the putting together & playing with!n

I bought the set for my classroom, but I let my 1st grade son use it first. He loved assembling it, but was disheartened when he couldn't finish the last portion... the roller coaster. It was a great price, but I may have to return it as we cannot complete the assembly and it was the last one.

This toy has great potential, and my grandkids ages 6, 4 and 2 loved playing with it once dad had it assembled. It would be great if replacements for some of the small parts were available as the green connector parts tended to snap off if not carefully attached. The kids found that frustrating. All in all a good toy and it got full attention for at least an hour on Christmas. Curious to see if the kids take to it and create their own geared gizmos down the road.

My 7 year old daughter loved this set. We built it together the first time--I don't think she could have built it by herself, but after that first time, she has spent a lot of time building, tearing down, reconfiguring, etc. This isn't a cheap item, but it's worth every cent.

My son was so excited for this, but there were pieces missing when I got this. Is there a way to purchase the pieces outside the kit. I don't want to buy the kit, but we can't build anything without the missing pieces.

I bought two of these one for my 6 year old grandson and one for my 4 year old granddaughter. Lucky I opened it with my 6 year old first even though the age for this is 4+ years. Not even my 9 year old grandson could figure it out and he's very smart. Nice toy but for a much old age group. Should be 10+

Requires carefully following instructions to assemble so my 5-year-old needed lots of help. Then near the end of assembly, we found that the roller coaster was missing from the box. Wish we could buy replacement parts! Overall, this product is a colorful and engaging toy.

Very time consuming. Three hours to be exact to put together. The pieces that are illustrated in the directions and on the box are not all the same as what is in the box therefore its hard to decide whether to read the instructions or just look at the box. It says 5+ but my 6 and 7 year old could not put this together. This requires adult assembly. I would not recommend this toy to anyone. It is not at all what I expected. This toy left me in tears trying to put it together. I don't know what else to say about it. I am sorry.

Bought for my 5 year old birthday. No way he could build this on his own and not much fun to play with when built. I thought this would be a really fun "building toy", but it isn't. Don't waste your money.
