Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My mother wanted to buy this for our two year old. When I first saw it my thought was "really? That's it? Just gears that spin on a stick?" She went for it anyways after seeing it on some daytime talk show "best of" toy list. Lemmie tell you, not only was our two year old mesmerized by it after he opened it tonight for Christmas, but so was the entire family. My two year old loves it, my four year old loves it, I caught myself playing with it, and glanced over to see grandpa playing with it as well. Not only does it work wonders for the kids' motor and color skills, but there's something soothing to adults to watch those gears spin to the bottom. No fancy bells and whistles, no lights or screens, just a simple toy that engages everyone. A real throwback to the days when a toy was a toy, not a phone or iPad. Highly recommend.
