Get into Gears!
- Learning Resources Posted On Dec 4, 2014 | Creative Play
Hi all
Gears! Gears! Gears!® is a very popular brand name in our household! Squirt loves playing with the different gears to make lots of different designs, and it’s something she enjoys with her Dad has he loves playing with construction toys! She was bought the Movin’ Monkeysâ„¢ Building Set for her birthday last year. She was a bit young for it at the time, but loved playing with the monkeys and all the different trees - they ended up in the bath on more than one occasion! Now she’s older she lovely building with all the gears and connectors and swinging the monkeys from the springy green vines.
A brand new product to the Gears! Gears! Gears!® range is the new Build & Bloom Flower Garden. This has only been available for a couple of days, but knowing how much squirt loves the range, I thought I’d ask her opinion of the new set!
Here are some of the things Squirt said about Gears! Gears! Gears! Build & Bloom:
“I like the bees and butterflies and flowers.”
“Daddy has to help me put the bricks (base) together.”
“The pink ones are my favourite.”
“I like it when they spin.”
The set of 115 includes flowers, butterflies, bees and ladybirds, along with colourful gears and wiggly flower stems! Not only is the set a lot of fun, it also helps to develop critical thinking skills and encourages creativity.
To find out more about the Gears! Gears! Gears!® range, view the products on our website. I particularly like the Gizmos® Building Set with so many pieces and parts it will offer colourfully and dazzling play for hours on end!
These sets will make great Christmas presents that will keep children entertained for hours! Find them in our Christmas Shop here. In case you didn’t already know, all items in the Christmas Shop are buy two get one free!
