Gears! Gears!® Movin' Monkeys™, an interactive building set that brings motion to life through hands-on play. With over 100 interlocking pieces, kids create a colorful jungle playground where monkey figures spin, bounce, and twist across connected gears. Once the build is complete, turning the handle sets the entire system in motion, clearly demonstrating cause and effect, mechanical movement, and early engineering basics. As kids design, build, and rebuild, they strengthen problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, and fine motor coordination-key foundations for STEM learning. The set includes uniform-size gears, connectors, base plates, and monkey figures, making it easy to follow the included ideas or create original designs. Designed for kids ages 4 and up, Movin' Monkeys™ is compatible with all Gears! Gears! Gears!® sets, allowing creativity and play possibilities to grow with every new build at home, in classrooms, or homeschool learning spaces. desertcart.com A variation of the award-winning Gears! Gears! Gears! construction set, Movin’ Monkeys adds a jungle theme to the building fun. Kids can follow the instructions and turn this set into the scene pictured on the box or can use their imaginations to create their own jungle setup. Monkeys hang from their hands or tail on the palm trees, vine, or each other and can even move down the length of a spiral building piece when the gears turn. Newcomers to these gear-shaped blocks may need to refer to instructions the first time they play with this toy—especially for details on how the palm trees fit together. The manufacturer’s targeted beginning age is four years old, but we recommend starting at six after observing younger children having difficulty constructing the palm trees and inadvertently knocking them over. The 103 pieces include the building platform, gears, cranks, palm tree components, vines, and monkeys. --Cristina Vaamonde P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From the Manufacturer There's nothing like monk eying around to get creativity flowing!
