Wooden 4-Gear Puzzle Board - QToys

Hand-crafted by QToys, this smooth wooden puzzle invites curious tamariki to turn one cog and set all four in motion.

Each gear is topped with a distinct 3D shape – cube, cross, triangle and hexagon – encouraging shape recognition while strengthening little fingers.

As children experiment with clockwise and anticlockwise rotation, they uncover cause and effect, early engineering concepts and collaborative play opportunities. Slim enough for a Montessori shelf yet sturdy for daily exploration, it is a calming, screen-free way to nurture problem-solving, perseverance and joy in discovery.
