Wooden Ferris Wheel Kit: create motion, understand physics
Build an educational model
This kit lets you assemble a kinetic wheel with an artistic look, driven by a motor and a series of visible gears. Every piece fits together precisely, giving an elegant demonstration of mechanical transmission. Once running, the wheel traces a smooth, continuous motion, as captivating as it is educational. Ideal for understanding the basics of motor torque and gear ratios.
A physics learning kit: learn by assembling
Designed for children from age 8, this project builds fine motor skills, spatial logic and scientific curiosity. It is an excellent support for hands-on learning about mechanical forces. Fancy a science decor project? You can even customise the blades with paint or felt pens. All of it safely: the device runs on low voltage and the gears are slowed down for easy observation.

Build, understand, imagine
These engineering and construction kits offer much more than play: they develop logic, precision and creativity. By assembling structures, machines or mechanisms, children discover the fundamentals of mechanics, physics and engineering principles. Every project is a chance to learn by building, with the pleasure of watching something they made with their own hands actually work. 👉 Back to engineering & construction kitsCustomers who viewed this engineering kit also looked at

Bought this for my 9-year-old on a rainy Sunday and she didn’t look up for nearly two hours. When the wheel finally turned she squealed, then spent ages working out why the little motor makes the big wheel go so slowly. She’s now explaining gear ratios to her dad, who has no idea what she’s on about. Pieces all fitted properly too, no sanding or forcing needed.

Nice little kit and the finished wheel looks lovely on the shelf. Instructions are clear enough, though one step with the axle had me squinting at the diagram for a few minutes. Does what it says.

ordered again from here after the solar system kit and it didn’t let me down. Packed well, arrived quick, and my son built most of it himself. Only thing is the wood is a bit rough in places so a quick going over with sandpaper helped. Still good fun for the price.

Got this for my grandson’s birthday. His smile when it started turning was worth every penny. Lovely thing.
Margaret Hollis –
bought this for my grandson Oliver, who’s nine, and he was glued to it all Sunday afternoon. The look on his face when the wheel finally turned on its own was priceless, and he’s now explaining gears to anyone who’ll listen. Cracking gift.

Spot on. The pieces slot together neatly and you can see how the gears pass the motion along as it turns.
