Fun and educational

Children test their technical skills in a simple and fun way. This is a great addition to the gear set I already have. The gears connect easily and students can let their imaginations run wild to create exciting spinning and spinning creations. You can also follow the instructions to build according to plan or just freely assemble. Either way, there are hours of enjoyment with this product. The addition of monkeys and vines really enhances the experience. The parts are durable and easy to useโ€ฆ

Not for the easily annoyed.

The toy corresponds to the illustration in all details and accents. We bought this for our four year old who has pretty good fine motor skills. During the first game, one of the monkey's arms came off. which means he cannot hang on vines. so we were sad about it. Another issue we had with the toy is that when you use the gears with the handles, the gears spin and move. Equipment likes to pop out. My son was very frustrated after taking the time to set it up that he could do a few turns and then

This is an AMAZING toy! Keeps my little ones busy for hours

This is an AMAZING toy! Keeps my younger kids busy for hours. We built the jungle exactly as shown on the box and everything works as described. The little monkeys are very cute. The parts fit together easily and the gears turn effortlessly. Kids can take everything apart and build their own jungle without breaking the pieces or getting frustrated that they're sticking together. There are enough pieces in the set for them to play and create their own stuff without fighting over the pieces. Theโ€ฆ

Nice toy but not sure I can recommend it.

I bought this for my 4 year old son to sit on and play around with. I really like the gears - they are well made and work great with the cranks. The quality is excellent. The finished product here is pretty cool to look at too. But that requires a lot of help from parents. The instructions are not like step by step LEGO instructions, they are very small for the child to follow properly. Unfortunately, the loop mechanism didn't work in the end, so we lost the whole effect. The start of our setโ€ฆ

I would highly recommend this toy to all preschoolers! My son loves this!

My son has the original set, so I decided to buy him this as well. This is a good sized set that has all the features of the original plus monkey elements, trees and a few other unique features. I assembled it (only 1 time) following the instructions and it was quite impressive, a single move sets the whole jungle in motion. However, my son quickly took it apart and now we use it like the original. He bends cars and towers with connectors and prefers assembling wheels to boards (he is 3 yearsโ€ฆ

Not as good as the base set

Bought this toy for my 5 year old boy. He loves the basic gear and loves building things out of it so I thought it would be great. I thought he'd like to zoom in on the scenery and have the gears move a bit. Other reviews about it were good. However, when he opened it on Christmas morning, he couldn't just assemble it and work on his own. His father had to sit down and help him assemble it because there is only one way to make everything work properly, so you must follow the instructions. Thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not bad

Difficult but fun

I love this toy! That being said, it's a bit tricky to assemble if you want to follow the instructions. Incidentally, directions are sometimes hard to see (colors are a bit hard to see). Also, there were some inconsistencies that I ended up having to fix just before finalizing the design. I have a five year old girl and had to set up most things myself. She would play with the pieces, but the overall large design was out of her reach. However, she doesn't care and has fun with her whether sheโ€ฆ
