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.

They are cute and good for teaching children fine motor skills. They are sturdy, and came in a variety of colors. Great product.

We’ve been using these for about four months and they’ve been a big hit. We use them for scooping rice and in sensory bins, and they’ve held up really well. They’re very fun and engaging, and my daughter loves using them. Such a great way to work on fine motor skills while playing. Definitely worth it!

The purple one with the scissor scoop is easily breakable which was the reason I got it for but it broke falling off the toddler table so very disappointed in that one. The other ones are good. Size is good for toddler hands. We practiced with Pom Pom’s so it was easy to pick them up. They’re plastic so they aren’t very soft but they’re not rough on toddler hands either.

We got these for our water table, to add some extra sensory play into it, and to focus on fine motor skills. These are great. They did take a little time for our little one to get used to using them, but I am sure that is because she was focusing on new fine motor skills and tools that she wasn't used to using yet, but they are great and super fun to use.

Our OT suggested we buy this to help our son with scissor skills.

i use some of these for my kid’s kinetic sand and some others for activities like “free the toys from ice!”

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.
