What do you buy them? Lego? Stickle bricks? Well these are a bit different and require the same skills of building things and fixing them together. I first bought these for my son when he was 2 and a half. At first he found it tricky to fit the parts in the holes but a year on and he is slotting everything together himself, so 3-3 and a half is a good starting age. What I like about this toy is that you can build something and make it move. Children can learn about cause and effect - "when you turn this handle this cog turns". Great little toy. The basic set packs away into a smallish box quite neatly.

My little boy is 3 and doesn’t particularly like Lego, but loves this! So many things you can build, keeps him occupied for ages and is a great toy for learning about engineering/physics whilst being creative. We will be purchasing more for sure! My 1 year old has also taken an interest in this. Great value, pack has so many pieces.

My five years old really enjoys connecting the gears and cogs together to create lots of different things. I like how simple it is to use with the gears connect easily together so my son can do this by himself without needing any help. Definitely great for independent play and creative thinking!

A simple Educational, yet massively fun Toy. My Grandson loves to watch the cogs turning and with a bit of help from Dad managed to have fun assembling this too. I think I will be buying more of these sets for his Birthday. Good value for money.

I ordered this technology build game for my grandson. As a teacher of primary special needs, I had several of these kits. The children can progress at their own speed, good practise eye hand coordination, improve hand muscle tone and make working models every time without fail. Highly recommend. Arrived on time, well packaged.

Definitely a fun product and lots of things they can make out of the gears whilst not using them as gears e.g. Cars, tractors, that sort of thing. 4 and 9 year old enjoying them so far but not sure how many hours of play they would have before getting bored??

Parcel arrived earlier than expected. Its a christmas present so not opened gift box. But seen this toy before and its a great sturdy learning toy. For children to build and see the wheels turning. My grand son loves wheels so this should be great for him.

Bought for my five year old grandson. He spent almost a day playing with it and was most imaginative in its use. The colours are lovely and I think it offers children spatial awareness and learning how to be precise with their fingers and hands. It's amazing how they recognise quickly what can and can't be done.
