Awesome!

Very sturdy. I like the clear cups, the pour spouts, the math symbols, pretty much everything about these. They are a great addition to my math and science center.

Good, balanced fun!

We love these nestable balance buckets! My nephew who is 3 enjoys balancing and see-sawing his toys, and it has been great for introducing early maths language of 'less than / more than' and 'heavier / lighter'. For my son who is 5 we have used them to introduce the less than / more than maths symbols. He loves the challenge of balancing the scales! We are yet to put liquids in them but we will definitely be giving it a go.

A great toy for learning about different weights

My 4 and 7 year old loved this!! It was really easy to put together, just take it out of the box, clip the buckets on each side and adjust the arrows on the arms to ensure its level. They then spent ages finding things around the garden seeing which was heavier, lighter or the same as. The arrow symbols are on the bucket to help identify the sum and answer too, this has a slider on so the children can slip it onto the correct one. There is also a pointer in the middle to match up. It feels well made and sturdy, I'm sure it will be played with lots.

Sturdy and durable

I chose these balance scales as I wanted some that were easy enough for my three year old to use. But also complex enough for my five year old. They are easy to use and are durable for small hands! They are great for measuring out and comparing liquids. I've also used them to show the concept of heavier, lighter and equal to. They also have corresponding more than, less than, equal to signs for use with my eldest. My youngest enjoys putting his toys into the buckets and making them equal. They also come with an activity booklet for ideas on how to use them.
