Almost perfect....

September 25, 2018 - By Satoka Erbfrom Rosamond, CA

One gripe I have with this product is that gears are not that easy to take off once it's on the board. Even I have hard time with it. I wish it was little more kid strength friendly.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Interesting assortment for Pre-school Children

December 25, 2015 - By sukeyfrom small town, Central Washington

Small parts so not appropriate for young children, but very challenging for pre-school and early elementary, lots of variety for building.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
