 Lot's of fun!Jun 04, 2010
I bought this for my daughter (who's almost 2) when she discovered magnets and how cool they were. She went nuts for this! It also fascinates the adults in the household, lol and all visitors that come over! By far one of the best products I have ever purchased. These magnets have been dropped, thrown, kicked around and they still turn when attached to the other gears, they're very durable! I need durable with two little ones in my house! Would definitely recommend them to anyone and already have!
 Good product. Engaging for our kids.Mar 09, 2010
It's a pretty simple toy, and it's not much of a toy for imaginative play, but our boys enjoy playing with it. I think we got our money's worth from this toy.
The older one (he has an "engineer" personality) especially likes to examine the gears and its geometric relationship as he spins the pieces manually. He has learned to attach gears in a chain, instead of just directly to the main hub.
We have a very small apartment with a very small kitchen, so it was a little difficult having them in there to play with it (and magnetic letters) on the refrigerator - we now have them play with the toy on the washer which is in the little space between the living room and the 2nd bedroom - that works well for us.
Grandmother loves this toy for grand daughter!Feb 03, 2010
Loved it! I gave it to my 15 month old grand daughter and her Dad loves the toy as much as she does. She isn't able to turn it on yet but she still enjoys playing with the gears and motion of the gears when someone turns it on for her. She has dropped the separate pieces on the floor several times, but it is sturdy and still works.
Generation refridgerator magnetJan 27, 2010
Our little neighbor boy just loves this toy. He is only 22 months so it takes a beating but keeps on going! Sometimes his 4 year old sister gets caught up arranging the wheels for about 30 minutes too.
Excellent for cause/effect/math skills and muscle tone issuesJan 27, 2010
One of the items (the main gear) arrived not working. While Amazon would have shipped it back for free, I have very little time to get to the post office, let alone re-package. So, with that in mind, I kept all the gears. My sons use them on this Step 2 easel on the magnetic side. Early Intervention recommended due to my sons' muscle tone issues that they reach up. This certainly is a motivator for them... and has HELPED tremendously, with sacral sitting issues and core muscle issues. Worth every dime. Fun to play with. Like others,, I wish more gears came with them but I did order 2... and though the 2nd big battery operated gear came broken, at least I have a bunch of gears for them.
