Giant Polydron Gear Set 58 Pieces

Gear up for big builds and bigger thinking with the Giant Polydron Gear Set - 58 Pieces. This hands-on, interactive construction set combines the classic Polydron building system with working gears, allowing children to explore the fundamentals of motion, mechanics, and cause-and-effect through open-ended play. Children can build large-scale vertical or horizontal panels using oversized squares and triangles, then attach the gears to watch a chain reaction in motion. With just one twist, the whole gear system comes alive - teaching essential STEM concepts like rotation, interconnection, and mechanical movement. It's a brilliant way to develop logical reasoning and motor coordination while having fun.

Designed for children aged 3 years and up, the pieces are lightweight, safe, and durable, making them ideal for individual exploration or collaborative classroom use. This set encourages trial and error, spatial planning, and creative experimentation in a bold, engaging format.

Kit Components (58 Pieces):

• Giant square blocks (21 x 21 x 2 cm)
