Gears are the magic that makes things move! Team up with Ty and Karlie, the young engineers from other Kids First early engineering kits, to construct four amazing geared machines and discover how gears work. This introductory mechanical engineering kit, designed for kids aged three and above, comes with 61 sturdy, reusable, and easy - to - handle pieces, promising endless hours of fun and exploration. Intro to Gears offers an exciting way to explore the incredible capabilities of gears. With a variety of big and small gears, kids can learn about gear ratios, gear trains, transmissions, power, and torque. The full - color, step - by - step manual clearly shows parents and adult supervisors how to build the models and how to present information to kids. By sharing basic engineering concepts with children, parents, teachers, and caregivers can foster strong STEM - related skills from an early age. Building models helps improve fine motor skills, mechanical engineering skills, visual - spatial skills, and reasoning. The modular building pieces in this kit are compatible with other Thames & Kosmos Kids First early engineering kits, allowing kids to unleash their imaginations and build whatever they envision. This kit is perfect for young hands, with large, durable plastic parts that are safe to use. The eight - page, full - color manual provides clear assembly instructions. It's a unique and engaging way to introduce simple engineering to young kids and offers endless possibilities for creative play.
Using this kit is super easy. First, take out the 61 durable plastic pieces from the box. Look at the full - color, eight - page manual. It will guide you step - by - step to build four awesome geared machines with Ty and Karlie. You can learn about how gears work, like gear ratios and power, while building. When you're done with one model, you can take it apart and use the pieces to build something new because they're reusable. You can even combine these pieces with other Thames & Kosmos Kids First early engineering kits to create your own unique designs. Here are some things to keep in mind. Make sure to keep the small pieces away from very young kids who might put them in their mouths. When you're building, be gentle with the parts so they don't break. To maintain the kit, after each use, put all the pieces back in the box. Keep it in a dry place so the plastic doesn't get damaged. That way, you can keep having fun exploring the world of gears for a long time.
