LEGO Classic Bricks & Gears

LEGO small models with gears to add movement.

In the box: 244 pieces, instruction manual for 5 models

I know, I know, you're probably thinking "Not another LEGO post!" If you follow me at all, you know my love for LEGOs and the small sets that can be used in therapy. I am adding this one because it has something new and different than I've seen before in these small model sets - each model in this set has a gear mechanism that makes something on the model move. Turn the knob and the monkey swings in the tree, the owl's eyes twirl, and the helicopter blades whirl. There is an instruction book included that covers the five models in the image above. The number of pieces for each model is monkey in tree-30, helicopter-34, flowers-32, carousal-38, and owl-34. The book also shows five additional models that you can get step-by-step instructions for online.

Work from 2D instructions to build a 3D model. These small models are perfect for a therapy session and the kids have loved the moving parts. I find that LEGO products go on sale a lot on Amazon. This set with instructions for 10 models (5 in the book, 5 online) cost me $16.
