If you're searching for a fun and effective way to build STEM skills at home, this gear-building set hits the mark. Designed for early learners and elementary kids, this set fits perfectly into your hands-on learning collection. This kit brings engineering, critical thinking, and problem-solving right to your tabletop—no extra supplies needed, just build and explore!

Additional Information: Please be advised that crates may contain small parts that may not be suitable for children under 3 years. Do not consume crate contents.

What’s Inside:

  • A full set of small‑, medium‑, and large‑colorful gears that snap together and mesh. 
  • Springs, spirals, propeller piece and crank handle to power movement and add excitement. 
  • Base plates, various connectors and pillars to allow 3D construction and change gear directions. 
  • Sticker sheet and quick‑start Guide to help get kids building right away. 

Recommended Age: Ages 5 through Grade 3 (approximately)
This set is perfect for:

  • Homeschooling families looking for an open‑ended STEM construction kit
  • Parents who want engaging, screen‑free play for curious elementary children
  • Kids who love hands‑on building, tinkering, and seeing cause‑and‑effect in motion

We work hard to process and ship all in-stock orders as quickly as possible! While we strive to ship same day, but please allow up to three business days for processing. As a small business, we appreciate your patience and are committed to getting your order out the door as fast as we can.

  • For out-of-stock items, please contact us for a more specific timeline on when the item will be restocked, we're happy to help!
  • For new releases, including our upcoming unit crates, will ship after the product's official release date. Crates are released on September 1st, December 1st, March 1st, and June 1st.

Shipping Methods & Tracking

  • We ship via UPS and USPS, with shipping costs calculated at checkout based on your location. 
  • Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking notification to keep you updated on its journey. While we can’t control what happens to packages once they leave our hands, we want to ensure they arrive safely. 
  • If there’s an issue with your shipment, please contact us—we’ll do our best to assist. If your tracking shows the package was delivered but you haven't received it, you'll need to follow up with the shipping carrier for further assistance.

At this time, we only ship within the U.S. Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our small business! 

What children will learn:

  • Core engineering concepts: gears, meshing, movement, direction changes—building actual working models.
  • Science in action: Cause and effect, motion transfer, changing gear ratios and directions.
  • Critical thinking, spatial reasoning and problem‑solving as kids decide how to build and fix designs.
  • Fine motor development and coordination through manipulation of parts and connections.
  • Creativity and perseverance as they build structures, test them, iterate and refine.

Standards Alignment:

  • Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):3‑PS2‑4: Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying forces and motion (gears set in motion).4‑ETS1‑2: Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well they meet the criteria and constraints (kids designing gear systems).
  • Common Core Math Standards:CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.A.1: Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects (when building and timing gear rotations).
  • Supports STEM‑based learning by combining science (motion/force), technology/engineering (gear systems) and math (measurement, patterning, ratios).
