We purchased this for our autistic three year old to use in his sensory bean bin. It has become one of his favorite toys and is excellent practice for dexterity and problem solving. The yellow piece specifically was an interesting tool. You push the handles to open the cups. It took him a bit to figure out how it worked, but he was interested enough to focus on the task. The scissors portion of the pack has done well on teaching him hand placement although I think it would not have worked as well if he was left handed. The tweezers were quickly lost as they didn't work well with the beans we were using it for, but they did work well with picking up paper. The eye dropper is probably his favorite out of the lot. It goes in the tub with him, when he washes his hands, and when he's at his water table. It does not seal, so the water drips out the tip after its sucked in, so there is no walking about with water in it, but there were no issues with the bulb portion. These were all very durable plastic and have held up to months of usage. The colors are bright and interesting. It has made a great addition to our therapy training.

I have a very active 26-month-old who usually doesn’t enjoy detailed activities for more than 15 minutes. To my surprise, he absolutely loved playing with all four items! We used the scissors/scoopers to pick up items from water, and used the other tools to transfer pom-poms from one container to another. He stayed engaged for over an hour and still wanted to keep playing. These activities were a great way to keep him busy while also helping him practice fine motor skills. I’m very impressed with this set and highly recommend it!

Love this for my toddler. Great to include in water play or sensory play. Helps with motor skills. My 2 year old has a really good grasp and its a perfect size for her.

This little set is wonderful for helping kids with their fine motor skills, but there are a couple things I dont love... The alligator tweezers are VERY hard to squeeze together. With most of these types of tweezers I have encountered, they are usually too flimsy- so its nice they are sturdy, but my 3 year old son cant use them... which defeats the purpose. Even for me they are difficult to use because they are very blunt on the end on top of the difficulty with squeezing them so they are not practical for picking up really anything in the sensory bins except maybe very large pom poms or something.... also the scissor hold tongs with the ball on the end (sorry I have no idea what it is called) is made so that the half circles pop off the handle when my son pulls on them. They snap right back in place and work just like they did before, so that is great- but he likes to pull them off and then they can become a choking hazard for the baby or get lost if I am not paying close enough attention. Other wise, they are very sturdy and my son loves them. The yellow pinchers and the dropper are his favorite and work entirely as intended. This is a fun set for sensory bins and bath time. I would definitely recommend it. I do wish they would at least re-think the alligator tweezers and make them more child friendly though....

My son has some trouble with his fine motor skills and he was thrilled to play with this set as well as his 8 year old brother and 2 year old sister. The only thing my 2 year old couldn't handle was the yellow squeeze tool because in order to open it you squeeze and scoop, then let go to close because it's pressured shut. She could open it but can't understand she has to let go to "capture" the rice inside it. She still had fun playing with it however. The tweezers were not hard to squeeze as one review I read said. The scissor grip tool is slightly less durable than the other tools so if your kids rough house with them then they might break but my kids are hard on things and it hasn't broken yet. These are fun for them to use with their sensory bins/experiments and offers a nice variety of tools for children to use with various activities to strengthen their fine motor skills.

Fun to use as they learned.

Great quality set with enough variation to keep little minds occupied. Hands with hand eye coordination and is easy to keep clean and store. Great value!

These were purchased and given as a gift for my 2yo grandchild for Christmas. Use of them was delayed after the holiday flurry for a good "rainy day" motor skills activity along with a huge back of small, colorful fussy balls perfect for practicing use of three of the items in this set. Unfortunately, the larger "melon scooper" type tool with the sphere end, used for scissor-like practice, broke the first time they were used for a brief time and with close supervision. One of the sphere halves just came out of the slot it "pegged" into. I could see where there were stress marks on the plastic from having been poorly made or perhaps stressed prior to use by us. The peg or probe that goes into the handle should be longer well as more carefully made. The "tweezer" styled ones are a bit thicker or sturdier plastic but even for the 2yo I use them with, could be a little longer. Also, the plastic needs to be lightweight for such tools, but these seem to use inferior plastic. I regret not paying more close attention to the return window ...missed it by one day. Since I can't return them now, I'll attempt to glue the one that broke so easily back together. The concepts and designs of these are good. Just needs some refining in the construction. If all sets are like these, I can't imagine them holding up well to heavy use by many children or in a classroom.

Están increíbles

Dosyć delikatne raczej trzeba uważać żeby dziecko nie połamało bo może się skaleczyć.

I have been after a set like this for ages as I do a lot of fine motor activities at home with my 3 year old to strengthen her hands. We have used all the scoops in various sensory boxes and even in the bath. We have used them for all kinds of games and activities. My daughter even loves putting the scoops back into the packaging so they all fit into their place - which is actually great for perceptual skills 😂 I really like how the large ball scoop has the same handle as scissors would, and so it is a great way to teach little hands how to assume the scissor grasp, and practice a cutting motion without too much resistance. So you get a lot of practice of the motion without tiring the little hands. It’s great!! Love this set!

Not only do these tools look attractive, they are of absolutely great quality and my 2 year old loves using these.

Very nice and useful toy
