Description
Recent Toys has added another great puzzle to their line of brainteasers. The Gear Ball has 6 sides, and each one is a different color. The ball twists and turns smoothly because of the gear action within. You can even see the gears moving on the outside! Grasp the ball in both hands and twist in opposite directions. This will scramble the pattern and then you can work to match up the colors again. Better yet have someone else scramble it for you! I love puzzles that are contained in one piece - great for travel. Get 'geared-up' for hours of fidgety, twisty, and turny fun!
