Learning Resources Jumbo Tweezers, Sorting & Counting, Preschool Science, Homeschool, Toddler Fine Motor Skill Development, Set Of 12

I purchased this item to use with my kindergarten and first grade students as a tool for practicing their fine motor skills. I was pleased with the quality and the fact that they arrived on time. It is very thick and will last a very long time. Because they are so thick, it may seem a bit hard for small hands to maneuver and to squeeze together but this can be easily fixed with some mods. In the long run, I think it is good that they are a little resistant to squeezing together because it works their hands muscles a lot more which is what I want in the beginning. There is no comparison between the price and the quality. My building has ordered this product several times since I purchased it and I believe my colleagues in the building appreciate it as well.

The picture shows where the crack is located. September 2018 to November 2018 is a very short time for them to be in the country.

I am disappointed with how hard it is to use them! In the hopes that she would be able to use them to pick up buttons, craft pom poms, etc. for sorting, I purchased them for my 3-year-old granddaughter. It seems like the reviews don't follow the text too carefully, and although the text suggests they are for 5+, I am unsure. It's just too much for small hands to handle. Despite their strength, they are well made for older, stronger hands, and the colorful pattern is fantastic.

The colors are amazing the product is well made, the quality is excellent. The only problem is that they are totally useless! While I should have returned them, I had high hopes due to the similarity between them and the other products I Grannie cannot even get her grandchildren to use it as tongs to "cook" because it is hard to grasp and The recommendation is not to be followed. It is another one of those "pretty but unusable" systems.

As they were designed for multiple fingers, they are easy to use with multiple fingers if necessary. They have a good look and nice colors. Their tips can pick up things from a distance and can withstand a lot of use. In addition, their springy design facilitates learning as well as allowing them to be opened more easily. Larger objects can also be handled by them thanks to their wide opening. Practice makes perfect, so these are excellent tools for learning.

Despite being well made, the tweesers are too stiff to be used comfortably for more than a few minutes even by me (an adult). They can be used as hand strengthening tools to improve grip strength during rehab, if that is what you want to achieve. In any case, it would be unlikely that a toddler or even a kindergartener could squeeze these fingers closed in order to pick up an object, which would cause the child to become frustrated. These tweesers won't be used in the classroom since I cannot tell how easy they will be for young children to use, and they will ruin the sorting activity I planned to use Thus, for me, these tweezers were a waste of money, and I still need to locate more fun tweezers that children can easily handle.

We chose these tweezers because their colors matched those of many of our small sorting sets, so they were an obvious choice for fine motor coaching. We can put out a basket of mixed materials and let children pick out what they like Use colored tweezers and bowls to pick out all of the items that are the same

I think this pair of tweezers would work well in theory, but in practice they are not so good. Unlike most plastic products, these large plastic disks are highly rigid and very slick. The tweezers slip around in the child's hand, and I notice that he or she often drops them or uses both hands in trying to make them work, and that seems to be very frustrating. that normally stick with sorting tasks for a considerable period of time usually give up with these tools when they start becoming annoyed. In the case of youngest preschoolers, tweezers can be put away and fingers can be used instead, since they would certainly benefit from color sorting activities. *br /*br /*br /*br /I ended up switching to metal ice cube tongs and wooden Montessori tweezers. If color coding is needed, we can use markers or stickers. These materials have proven to be more reliable Using tools that work as designed is more likely to draw kids to a task and make sure they stick with it!.
