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.

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.

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.

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. Would definitely recommend for early learners that are a little beyond the initial stages of motor skill development and are more into a phase of exploring textures and materials and how things work.

Many uses!
I received this free product as part of an incentivized review program. As a special education teacher of students having multiple disabilities, including cognitive impairment and autism, I am always looking for well made, functional tools for my students to manipulate as they build fine motor skills through sensory activities. They have been able to learn how to collect water in the Twisty Dropper and then squeeze it out. It worked nicely for our recent experiments with combining droppers full of different colored water to make new colors. I like that the dropper doesn't separate into two pieces. The Silly Scooper and the Super Spinner soon found their way to our playdough station where they have worked well, too. The Squeezy Squirter has a pretty big opening so it sprays a pretty heavy stream of water. Bathtub or outdoor use only!

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 scissor ball maker was also a favorite and used to make ice cream and dinosaur eggs. The twisty dropper was cool and next time I will put colored water in the table because I don't think the kiddos could see the actually water move through the tube. It was a great addition to the center and a step away from the traditional sand and water toys.

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 younger kids worked on their fine motor skills, and the older kids just loved to play and explore and make their own experiments. They definitely did not get bored with these. We love the bright, playful variety of colors, too! They are a perfect addition to our outside play. This toy was received as a part of an incentivized review program.

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 were colorful and a good size. I wish there more in this package. I would recommend this product.

Outdoor Fun
I recieved this product as part of an incentivised review program. I am a teacher and aunt to a 5 year old nephew. My nephew loved this toy. 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 has a wave to the design making it much more interesting and pleasing. I enjopy the elevated design of these toys.

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 the scooper or spinner, might be more fun in a sandbox or bowl of rice. In the water, they seem somewhat less functional. The dropper is probably the best item in the set, as it is somewhat interesting to watch the water run through the twisty curves. I would recommend this product for a 2 year old, rather than 3 as they may find it more entertaining at that younger age. I received this product as part of an incentivized review program.

Another must have!
I am a grandmother of 3 year old diagnosed with autism, development delays and sensory issues! Learning resources has done it again!! It's been cold so we've been limited to inside right now! She has still enjoyed learning to use each tool! She has a hard time holding her pencil and crayons correctly which all these processes will help in strengthening those muscles needed to help this! We've used with water, candy and sand! We can't wait till warmer weather to try these out on her water table, sand box and beach! I received this product in return for an honest review.
