Product Description
There's nothing like monkeying around to get the creativity flowing! In this jungle-themed set, monkeys fly through the palm trees by their tails, then spin, twist and turn. Colorful set features plastic gears, crank, connectors and base plates for endless building possibilities. Kids develop their own gears jungle or use the easy-to-follow instructions. Includes 136 pieces.
Editorial Review
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 toy—especially for details on how the palm trees fit together. The manufacturer's 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 136 pieces include the building platform, gears, cranks, palm tree components, vines, and monkeys. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Awesome Toy November 19, 2006

My son got this for Christmas last year (he was 2 1/2) and to this day (almost a year later), he STILL plays with it! It is one of his favorite toys. He plays with it almost daily. We are purchasing him expansion sets this Christmas! And even after almost a year of playing with the pieces, we still have every single piece! This is the best gift, very fun and if you have a child like mine with a big imagination, your child will have literally hours of fun with it. If I could rate it 10 stars, I would!

When I was teaching elementary school science, I often pulled out sets of gears for my students to play with, because they are great for developing good science/math/engineering concepts, whether following diagrams or trying out their own designs.
We got this toy for my son for xmas, a month before his 3rd birthday. He's definitely ahead for his age with puzzles/ spatial challenges, and has loved this toy. At first, he wanted to build what the box showed, which involved following diagrams (definitely a mom/dad task) but now (a year later) he likes to play with it more open-endedly, hooking things together in his own way to make the monkeys move about. When we first got it, it looked like putting the parts together and taking them apart would be too hard for a 3 year old, but he can do it fine now as an older 3. My only complaint is that the box is not a great storage case.
Great Fun! January 12, 2007

This toy is wonderful to play. My 4 yr old son got this for Christmas and has had a blast playing it. He loves things you can put together and take apart. Mommy, daddy and 6 yr old sister love this too!

This set is so much fun! My four year old son enjoys putting the gears together. He loves the monkeys and vines that are included. He can play for hours. I enjoy playing with the movin' monkey set with him, too.
This toy will be a classic! January 1, 2008

We bought this toy for our almost 4 yr old son for christmas this yr. He absolutely loves it and when asked which toy was his favorite christmas gift he said it was this set! He spends hours playing with it, my husband also enjoys playing with this set too, lol! In addition, I had also gotten an extra set of just a regular set of gear, gears, gears so my son could expand his set, which was a smart move. I fit both sets into a 27 qt sterilite container that I got at target, and it is the perfect size. Also, my 2.5 yr old loves this set too, although he isn't quite able to really build much on his own, but he does enjoy playing this toy with his older brother. The only thing about this set that surprised me is when the kids spin the gears the noise can be really LOUD! I guess I did not expect it, but basically it sounds like someone shaking a big box of legos with all their might in a plastic box when the kids turn the gears. Otherwise, the toy is great, totally worth the $. I forsee us expanding with more sets as the kids want to build even bigger sets.
