It's rated from 2 years and carries no under-threes warning.

Velcro gives you the rip, which is most of the appeal, and it holds firmly enough that a piece won't fall apart in a toy box. Magnets snap rather than tear, never go fluffy, but they also snap back together on their own, which some children find less satisfying. This set is velcro.

A child turns one gear, and a gear on the far side of the board turns too — something they aren't touching, moving because of something they are.

Each animal head has a hole in its base and sits on a post on top of one of the gears — and that gives a small hand something to grip and turn. A flat wooden gear is surprisingly hard for a two-year-old to drive: there's nothing to hold, so fingers slip off the teeth. An animal standing proud of the surface turns it into a knob, and the board goes from fiddly to easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not standing figures, though, and we'd rather say so — they only sit on the posts, so they won't stand up on their own to be played with separately.

Is it faulty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAlmost certainly not — it's the toy working as designed, and it's the single most common thing people get caught by. Gears only drive each other if their teeth actually mesh, so a gear dropped onto a post too far from its neighbour will sit there doing nothing. Shuffle it one post closer and the board comes alive. That gap between \"nothing happens\" and \"everything happens\" is the puzzle you're buying, and it's worth knowing before you decide something's broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the animals stand up on their own?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. They have a hole in the base and sit on posts on top of three of the gears, which is what makes them useful — they're the handles you turn the board by. Lift one off and it won't stand on a table as a figure. If you want small wooden animals that do stand free and can be played with away from the board, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dino-surprise-puzzle\"\u003eDino Surprise Puzzle\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/garden-surprise-puzzle\"\u003eGarden Surprise Puzzle\u003c\/a\u003e from the same range are the ones for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat age is it really for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe box says 2 years and up, and we'd go along with that. A younger child will enjoy spinning a gear you've placed for them — the animal handles make that possible from well before two — but working out \u003cem\u003ewhere\u003c\/em\u003e gears have to sit is the part that needs a two-year-old's patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many loose pieces are there?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTen — seven gears and three animal heads — on a board that stays in one piece. Worth a shelf or a box, and worth a count at tidy-up time, because a missing gear leaves a gap in the chain and the board won't drive all the way round. Losing an animal is more annoying than it sounds, too, since you lose a handle with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the gears easy enough for small hands to lift on and off?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey drop onto posts rather than clip or screw, so they lift away cleanly with one hand. No force needed in either direction, which is the right call for an age that hasn't much force to offer — and the animal heads give something to grip while turning, which a bare gear doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA damp cloth only, and no detergents.
