Here’s a tower with gears, not yet fully decorated. We took a special photo to make it clear what it looks like without the studs. We also bought a Quercetti set with a motor (bottom left, yellow in color with two red buttons), the entire tower rotates, both manually and by motor.
These gears by Quercetti has all the essential thing you’d desire in a gear system. Firstly, their construction quality is top-notch, and the pieces have robust and solid design. The set also has a seamless gear interface, so they interlock securely. With this reliable connections and sturdy pieces, the set allows you to build machines that can perform real work.
The set includes several base plates that fit together like puzzle pieces. Nearly half the time these are in use at our house, kids made colorful boxes from them. So, they’re not just basic pieces but are interesting decorations in their own. The second set of pieces has support structures, which are tubes and joints that interlock to create sturdy poles. These pieces come in a consistent size, without the frustration of dealing with components at slightly different heights, a problem we’ve encountered with other sets in the past. The support connects are sturdy, so that the structures stay intact once they’re built.
In addition to the gears, this set also comes with attachments like chains and rubber bands. You can use them to connect groups of gears that would otherwise be separate. Also, you can use them with other toys and building sets.
Very beautiful! Meow! Jane, please tell me, is this tower assembled from two sets: “gears” and “mosaic”?
Here is a Kaleido set, a set with a motor, gears set of 80 parts, and sets of pins from Quersetti (we used it for decoration).
Thanks for the answer! Very good! Jane, please tell me also (since you have all three sets, you know for sure): are paper inserts in the “Gears with a Motor” set and reusable stickers in “Kaleido” the same thing? Thank you!
I thought it was better late than never, and decided to answer your question. You probably already know that the covers on the gears in different sets from Quercetti are not the same: in the Kaleido set there are colorful stickers, and in the Gears with Motor set there are actually paper round coloring pictures. After decoration you need to attach them to the gears with pins (it is better to make copies of these pieces of paper and make several multi-colored versions).
