Wooden Wonders Gizmo the Hedgecog Gear Puzzle

A gear is a kind of machine used to help make things move. Did you know we use gears every day? Clocks, bicycles, cars and trucks, all those are powered with the help of gears!

Gizmo is a very helpful Hedgecog who wants to help you learn all about gears. His body is covered with 11 colorful, interchangeable gears you can place, spin, and rearrange however you like. When you connect a big gear to a small one, which spins faster? Which way do they spin? What about when three move together?

Why You'll Love It: There's no better way to introduce children to science than through discovery! Gear puzzles are great for independently investigating simple mechanics and cause-and-effect relationships. Placing and spinning the colorful gears during open-ended play promotes creative expression while developing logical reasoning and fine motor skills. There's something new to learn at every turn!
