subject: Gear Toys Stimulate Creativity and Imagination [print this page] If you have never heard of gear toys made specifically for children, let me tell you that they are worth researching if you happen to have youngsters in your family. I have a child development degree and have worked with children in all types of settings, raised 2 college educated sons and now am a proud grandparent of grandsons ages 3 and 7, so I have tried out many types of toys. My favorite toys are ones that encourage thinking, creativity and imagination such as gear toys. Gear toys are the best toy purchase you could make for a child. They also make wonderful gifts for special holidays or birthdays.
Learning Resources is the leading toy company in producing a variety of gear toys for children. Start with a basic Gears! Gears! Gears! Beginner 95 piece set and add on sets up to the Gears! Gears! Gears! Lights and Action set complete with lights and motion. All the pieces in each Learning Resources gear toys sets are interchangeable with each other creating endless building opportunities. Learning Resources makes each piece out of the highest quality of durable plastic to last and in bright colorful colors to stimulate creativity.
Children as young as 3 can start learning basic building, math and science skills by playing with gear toys. There are unlimited combinations on putting the gear pieces together and this type of play encourages thinking skills, creativity and imagination. Each time they bring the gear toys out to play, they will come up with new ways of putting them together. Gear toys are also perfect building toys where children can learn to work together as a team.
My 3 year old grandson received a Learning Resources Gears! Gears! Gears! Beginner Set of gear toys for his birthday recently. He immediately started playing with the gear toys as soon as they were unwrapped and his 7 year old brother quickly joined in. This toy was the hit of the party, and after awhile grandpa joined in to help them play with the gear toys.
