Monkey Love
I bought this for my son for his 3rd Birthday. We have alot of fun building the monkey set or just making up something on our own. He loves watching how the gears work. I'm very happy with this purchase. I will be buying more Gears! Gears! Gears! in the future.

Grandma's favorite
As a grandma of 6 under 5 yr olds, I'm always looking for toys that keep them occupied and happy. Building sets have always been my favorites (Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, K'nex, etc). This looked different, but fun, so I tried it. Boy, am I glad I did! They love it! We did have to put together the whole big picture once, but after that they keep coming up with new ways to put it together to make the gears turn on the pads and in the trees. Although I can't speak about the longevity of the monkey gears since we haven't had it even a month yet, I can say that it is a favorite with me and with the grandchildren.

Should have listened
I know, everyone said that the parent will end up doing all of the work, but I held out hope that somehow my kids would sit down together and build this. But I was wrong. It really is a marvel once it is together, but I have wayyyy too much to do than sit for an hour putting this together, only to have it yanked apart. If you have a dedicated space to keep it together all of the time then that's great, but then again, how long can spinning monkeys hold a kids attention? I think I would have skipped this one.

Monkey Gears
Great toy to help open up the world of "how things work" for younger kids. Inspires imaginative play, problem solving, and cause & effect thought processes.

Gears are fun, but this set is not the best
We love GEARS, but I'm not crazy about this set. The monkey idea is cute, but for the most part they can't hang on and they don't really spin and turn like you think they're going to. There is one gear that doesn't match up, so it's basically non-functional. But we do love GEARS and would buy more of them.
