Product Description

A variation of the award-winning Gears! Gears! Gears! construction set, Movin Monkeys adds a jungle theme to the building fun. Kids can follow the instructions and turn this set into the scene pictured on the box or can use their imaginations to create their own jungle setup. Monkeys hang from their hands or tail on the palm trees, vine, or each other and can even move down the length of a spiral building piece when the gears turn. Newcomers to these gear-shaped blocks may need to refer to instructions the first time they play with this toyespecially for details on how the palm trees fit together. The manufacturers targeted beginning age is four years old, but we recommend starting at six after observing younger children having difficulty constructing the palm trees and inadvertently knocking them over. The 103 pieces include the building platform, gears, cranks, palm tree components, vines, and monkeys. --Cristina Vaamonde

As for me, a former teacher, I am thrilled with the potential educational lessons that this toy could teach. It's good for colors with young children, for one thing. And then, with direction, a child could really practice the basics of physics, as it shows them the whole concept of a gear, not to mention movement caused when they function together. I don't think, however, this is educational without adult direction of some kind. That is not to say that it can't be fun, as my daughter likes it just for the monkeys alone!
Delivery.shipment was great, as expected...
Parts are durable and easy to use. With very little instruction even young children can begin to build.

I miei nipoti di 7 e 5 anni si sono divertiti molto a guardarmi mentre componevo il tutto.
Mi sono divertito a mostrare loro come mettere insieme i pezzi e seguire le istruzioni o come un ingranaggio si trasformasse in un altro e un altro ancora.
Una volta terminato l'assemblaggio hanno trascorso un'ora buona prima di coricarsi e non hanno nemmeno litigato... cosa inconsueta!
L'idea brillante di questo giocattolo è che può essere smontato e costruito in molti altri modi.
Gli ingranaggi aiutano davvero i bambini a capire la relazione tra causa ed effetto.
Costruirlo aumenta le loro capacità motorie e lo sviluppo cognitivo, sviluppare layout diversi migliora la loro immaginazione.
Anche gli ingranaggi nelle loro piccole teste girano di pari passo!
È molto interessante guardarli mentre sono all'opera.
Mia sorella (la madre dei piccoli) è un'insegnante di scuola elementare e quando ha visto questo giocattolo mi ha detto che già conosceva il marchio perché è molto popolare e tenuto in grande considerazione nel settore dell'educazione primaria.
Il giocattolo vero e proprio è ben fatto, i colori sono brillanti e vividi, la plastica di buona qualità.
Gli ingranaggi girano con il minimo sforzo, azione e movimento sono fluidi.
Le strutture e le connessioni sono abbastanza robuste da durare a lungo nel continuo rimescolamento della configurazione.
Le istruzioni sono chiare, ben presentate e a colori, il che rende semplicissimo montare il primo layout.
Questo rende un meraviglioso giocattolo educativo ma divertente.

Trae una gran variedad de piezas, más de 100 en la caja y con diversas funciones, palmeras, engranajes, lianas móviles... Es muy completo para que vayan aprendiendo poco a poco. Además en la propia caja trae instrucciones con ejemplos de lo que montar.
El funcionamiento es sencillo, conseguir que mediante mover engranajes muevas palmeras o monos incluso a través de lianas. En mi casa hay un juego similar y la calidad de plásticos de este y de la competencia es muy distinta, este está muy bien acabado.
Al principio algunas piezas se muestran algo duras, por lo que te tocará ayudar a montar un poco el circuito, sobre todo para comprobar que todo está fijo y pueda moverse con soltura. En mi caso lo he probado con varias formas y el resultado me parece bueno, algo duro pero al estar nuevo se irá suavizando con el tiempo.
Dejo un pequeño vídeo con un circuito sencillo en el que se ve al mono moviéndose de un lado a otro de una estructura. Al tener tantas piezas las posibilidades son muchas, para regalar me ha parecido un buen producto.
