Designed for ages 3 and up, the Starter Set offers just the right level of challenge for toddlers and preschoolers beginning their STEM journey. Compatible with all other Gears! Gears! Gears!® sets, this versatile learning resource grows with children's skills and makes a great foundation for expanding into more complex builds at home, in classrooms, or in homeschool environments.

Review: Can't recommend it enough! - Our, then, 18 month old son found himself magnetically pulled towards this set at a local museum's discovery area. We got his his own set at 20/21 months of age, and for MONTHS now, he's playing with them almost daily. We've had this product for about 5 months now, and both my husband and I consider this set to be one of the best toys we've bought for him. We started him out with chains of orange and green pieces pre assembled (by us) so that he'd learn how to put the gears into the little pegs. Eventually we started making the process harder for him by making smaller preassembled pieces (e.g. shorter chains first then eventually just orange and green piece-pairs preassembled). After 5 months of use, now even if we leave them all completely disassembled, our son seems to be able to put the pieces together to create whatever it is he wants. Just the other day he proudly showed us a "double bus" (i.e., double decker bus) --- two rows 3 gears all connected together. He still isn't able to 100% push all of the pieces tightly together, but even then (surprisingly enough) the pieces don't just fall apart. Yes, they do stay together better when t hey are tightly pushed in, but this toy has been seemingly designed with children who naturally are weaker in strength and dexterity in mind. It's great. I would recommend this toy to anyone who is interested in hearing me rave about it.
Review: Good mind stimulating toy - My son who is 4 seemed to like these! He loves blocks and mind activies so I thought these would be great. They are a preschool recommended toy and great for occupational therapy. Some pieces were hard to get together and apart, and ne needed my assistance for those. However, I feel that is a good toy and allows a child to be creative.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with the other set (horizontal build) - would my pieces work with this?**
A: I do not know. This is the first set I bought.

**Q: What ages is it designed for?**
A: I bought these for my 7 month old grand daughter. At that age they do not 'construct' anything. However, she was completely fascinated by the moving gears and soon wanted to turn the gears herself. This helped her hand eye co-ordination. However, I strongly recommend that you buy one of better quality. These do not stay together. The joining mechanism is flimsy.

**Q: What is the size of the space between the teeth of the gears?**
A: I don't remember.  I bought this decades ago (my son's are now in their early 30's) but they both loved this toy as toddlers and played with it for years!  Both on the autism spectrum it really held their interest and they never got their fingers caught.

**Q: What is the diameter of each gear? I’m making an acrylic board to use with the gears and it has to be exact.**
A: Hello! The diameter of our regular gear is 62mm. Feel free to reach out to us on our site under the "contact us" page with any other questions you may have.
