Specifications
This colourful jungle-themed gears set turns construction play into a wild adventure! The Moving Monkeys Building Set features 136 engaging components, including 103 main building pieces, a collection of gears, interlocking building plates, whimsical trees and vines, and six cheeky swinging monkeys. Children can build a lively jungle full of moving parts and exciting interactions, bringing their imaginative structures to life with every turn of the gears.
Specifically designed for early years settings, this vibrant set supports hands-on learning through play. It encourages young learners to explore cause-and-effect as they connect gears and set the monkeys in motion. As they build and tinker, children develop an understanding of mechanical principles while strengthening essential foundational skills. This dynamic resource is ideal for both individual exploration and collaborative group play.
