#ETIToys Jumbo Gears Kit
These are great gears! They have everything you'd want in a gear system. First of all the construction quality is good, these are solid pieces. In the year and a half that we've had these they are as good today as when we bought them. The solid construction also includes good gear interface, so these things really interlock well. Good interfaces, and solid construction also means they are strong enough to build machines that do actual work.
The set includes several base plates which interlock like puzzle pieces. About half the time these are out at our house these bases have been built into boxes. So they are more than just the base, they are interesting in and of themselves. The second set of pieces are the support structures. These are tubes and joints that interlock to make poles. The pieces are a standard size, not varying so your structure is always aligned to standard units. No struggling to get the thing to connect which is at a slightly different height like we've seen in other sets sometimes. Also the supports are sturdy and well attached, so that once built structures stay that way.
In addition to the gears, this set also comes with a chain. This can be used to connect groups of gears that are otherwise disconnected.
After playing with these for a while I'm pretty sure my daughter has a pretty good understanding of gears. The other day I quizzed my 5YO why she had a little gear between the big ones on her structures. She gave a very teenage like sigh, as if I were an idiot and explained that otherwise the wheels don't turn the same way. So I'm pretty sure that she's got it now.

I received this for a discount in exchange for an honest review.
