Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Learning Resources who makes a wide variety of educational toys and games for children. When you visit the Learning Resources web site…you can shop as a Parent or as a Teacher. Furthermore, you can shop by age group, category, by brand or by subject.
I love how user-friendly the Learning Resources site is! You will find activity sets & books, construction sets, active learning & play sets, discovery & exploration sets, electronic toys, games, puzzles, water & sand toys and a whole lot more! Everything on their site is extremely well-made and affordable.
My Review: For the review we received the new Gears! Gears! Gears! Motorized Spin & Glow Building Set to check out for all of you. We were really excited about this review because Princess Gia loves to build things and building blocks, building games and puzzles are some of her favorite things!
This particular building set is for ages 5 and up (or grades K and up) and is great for both little boys and girls. This set combines geared movement, flashing lights and the power of a motor to bring fun & learning together. The motor requires 3 AA batteries which you will need to supply, but the button-cell batteries for the flashing lights are included with the set.
With this award-winning building set, your child(ren) will be able to snap pieces together to create moving, spinning and glowing objects. Way too cool! There are additional Gears! Gears! Gears! sets that you can buy to add onto this one to really stretch their imagination when it comes to educational creative play. The set includes 115 durable plastic gears, a power motor, flashing lights, glow-in-the-dark stickers and more, all stored in a handy tub to keep things neat & organized.
As soon as it arrived we sat down with Princess Gia and played with this set for almost 3 hours one evening. The following day she came back over and again…played with this set for hours! What is really nice is that your kids can build all kinds of different things and it will indeed keep them busy!
The building pieces are perfectly sized, fun and colorful. They are very durable pieces that can handle the rough & tough life that a kid will put them through. The Princess calls them her “Carnival in a Bucket” because she likes to use them to build various “carnival” style rides (at least that is what she thinks! LOL).
This is not one of those toys where they play with it once and it’s done. Nope…I can see this building set being handed down through the generations and becoming a classic toy!
You can purchase the Learning Resources Gears Starter Building Set (60 Piece) directly from Amazon. They also have additional sets that you can buy to add onto any of the other sets. Really cool.

Learning Resources has always been a very good place to shop for fun and educational items. This Gears toy is consistent with the other high standard toys they make. I know that I would enjoy playing with it too!!
I have admired the gears online for awhile. This new collection looks amazing. I think I’m going to invest in a set. Thanks for the review.
