Great for sandpit and water tray
Bought this for our granddaughters to use in the sandpit and also water play. The dropper one seems to be the favourite and it's great used with water and a few drops of food colouring added to the water.

Great for developing fine motor skills
My three year old (and six year old) love these, they give a variety of different experiences, we particularly enjoyed using them with sand.

More than just water and sand!
We have used this with multiple different sensory bins. Water beads, rice, or water these tools were always used.

Fun Fun Fun
My 2.5 year old son had a blast with this set. So far we have only used them in water, but I look forward to using sand. I really like that the scoop provides both a scooping and scissor motion. It's great practice for scissor skills with out having to use actual scissors. The set provides a variety of different fine motor opportunities. They make great bath toys!

Fun for bath time!
Got this for my son to play with in the bath. He really seems to enjoy the dropper and squirter. He's learning to use the scissors. They are a nice gateway to the real thing. I like it because our fun and educational.

DROPPER, SQUEEZER, SCOOPER ARE HITS! SPINNER IS A FLOP.
MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER LOVES WATER PLAY AND I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT SET FOR HER TO USE AS SHE PLAYS IN THE BATHTUB OR WITH OUR MAKESHIFT WATER TABLE. SHE WAS INSTANTLY ENAMORED WITH THE DROPPER - SHE LOVED WATCHING THE WATER GO UP AND SQUIRT BACK OUT. SHE ALSO LOVED PLAYING WITH THE SCOOPER, BUT WOULD GET A LITTLE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE SHE HAD TO BALANCE THE WA...

Great Item!
These are perfect for water table fun this summer! Easy for small hands to manipulate each of the tools. I love that while the kids are playing with them, they are developing fine motor skills that you wouldn't even think about. Came in an easy to open package, and ready to use right out of the box. Great hit with the kids!

Fun product and interactive product
This was a great easy to carry around product. It says it can be used for sand and water but I think it would be awesome to use for dry items for the kids to sort colors and items. Very versatile and colorful. The squeezers picked up a good amount of water and is durable. Great toddler tools to scoop and squeeze to help strengthen their motor skills.

2 out of 4 are great!
I was really excited when I saw this product on the website. My 2.5 year old son loves water play whether it be outside (since we've been having a heat wave) or in the bath! We always liked the twisty dropper since we've hadn't it from the Helping Hands set. However the top doesn't come off and I worry mold will form. I guess we'll just toss it at the end of the season ...

Love these tools
As a preschool teacher, these tools are a must-have. The pincer grasp is important for using writing materials. These are the perfect fun addition to the sand and water table. The tools are fun to use and the transparent water bulb is fun to watch the water travel through the tube. We are using them everyday and strengthening our pincer grasp is a fun activity.

Awesome tools for creative young learners
I received this set of toys through a review program at Learning Resources. With a critical eye I try to offer clear productive feedback. With that said, this is a great set of tools. My little gal is a super creative kid, so these offer all sorts of options, whether it be playing as a doctor, or just dinking around in the sink full of water or a sandbox.

Cool pieces!
As a promotion for review, I received this set. I put it out in my classroom's sand and water area. The bulb squeezer broke. I think one of my kiddos bit a whole in it (I teach Special Needs Preschool). But the other pieces were a big hit. The twister for the sand was the favorite of the class and they used it as a drill. Filling the tube and drilling the sand out. The ...

Hours of play
I received this product as part of a incentivized program. My children were excited to try them all! We tried them in water and sand. I would say it's a great way to develop their fine motor skills. Toys are well made and colorful. Their favorite one was the wavy dropper. I would recommend this toy for pre-k and kindergarten.

Bright, Colorful Fun for Sand and Water! Great Outdoor Play
Our whole family loved playing with these tools! It was great to finally get outside, and the kids were definitely eager to play with some water toys. We haven't used these in the sand yet, but they got a lot of play at our water table. The kids enjoyed the variety of tools and all the different things that they could do with them. (Kids ranged in age from 3-10.) The yo...

Great Tools
I received this product as part of an incentivized review program. These items were easy to use and provoked good conversations with the students. It was nice to show examples of different motions to the students and have them describe other items that are similar to them. Students were able to use them independently after modeling the items to them. I liked that they w...

He is always getting into different messes outside so these tools were great fun for him. I particularly like the fun and attractive shapes and colors that the tools come in. Instead of the dropper just being a regular dropper, it ...

Would recommend for a younger child
I am an avid, almost exclusive, user of Learning Resources products, which are among the best I have found. This toy, while a solid, well-made toy, is merely average. I bought it for use in the bath, as an alternative to the standard "squirty" toys. It does most definitely help with fine motor skills, but it is not as entertaining as I had hoped. Some of the items like ...
