Junior Inventor | PLUG-it - Educational Play System For Kids

The beleduc PLUG-it Junior Inventor Set brings real engineering magic to your PLUG-it wall, turning curious toddlers into mini inventors. Designed for crèches, kindergartens and playrooms, this robust birch-wood plate snaps in big and small gears, pulleys, wheels, levers, nuts and bolts so children aged 3+ can build and test working machines. As they interlock five large gears with two smaller ones, loop silicon rings around pulley wheels and twist nuts into place, they discover power transmission systems in action—gear trains transferring motion, belt-drive pulley systems and levers that multiply force.
The included step-by-step windmill project shows exactly how it works: mesh the gears correctly, wrap the pulley drive and hand-crank the lever to watch the blades spin, turning a tiny push into a visible mechanical result. Along the way, young engineers explore physics fundamentals like friction and rotation, force and motion, and speed relationships in different gear ratios. They learn proper tool usage—tightening bolts and threading nuts—while following construction sequences, troubleshooting when things don’t mesh, and planning modifications to make their machines run smoothly.
Maths pops up everywhere too: counting gear teeth, measuring bolt placement, predicting how changing a gear affects speed, and visualising three-dimensional spatial relationships. These hands-on challenges boost fine motor skills and logical sequencing, spark “what if” questions and teach systems thinking as children see how each component must work together.
Part of an educational play system specifically designed for crèche and kindergarten use, the beleduc PLUG-it Junior Inventor Set makes STEM come alive in playful, screen-free experiments—fuelling curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of discovery.
