These innovative Handy Scoopers are specially designed to strengthen the crucial fine motor muscles children need for writing, drawing, and scissor cutting. The scissor-style handles mimic the exact finger positioning required for proper cutting technique, giving your child a fun way to develop these vital skills without the safety concerns of actual scissors. Children naturally build hand strength and dexterity while having so much fun they won't even realize they're learning. The translucent, colorful scoops allow children to clearly see what they've captured, encouraging curiosity and discovery. Strategically placed holes in each scoop create fascinating catch-and-release opportunities during water play as children observe how liquids flow through the openings. These same holes transform sandbox play into a sifting adventure, allowing children to observe how different materials like sand, rice, beans, or water beads interact with the scoopers, building early science observation skills. The set includes 4 colorful scoopers in assorted hues, all stored in a convenient clear bucket for easy organization and transport between activities. Recommended for ages 3 and up, though many parents report success with supervised use by younger toddlers eager to develop their grasping skills.

Bought these as a birthday present. Have been giving them out since to the fascinated and excited children. Great product to allow children to develop curiosity but also to teach them to care for all the living creatures as this device (if used correctly) does not harm the bugs.

These aren't just "kids toys". They are super useful in bug catching! Either bug catching for fun/education or for removing bugs from your house without harming them.

Good. Seems a little flimsy but haven't tried them with kiddos yet.

One came with a tiny crack and I thought it would be fine but the ball kept falling off. The rest are holding up a little better but one of my students dropped one and I thought it would be the end of them. It was okay this time. I thought they would have been a little more durable since they are for young children.

estan super padres! faciles para usar para los niños, les encanto para las orbeez, porque aparte tienen pequeños agujeritos y el agua de las orbeez se le cae. Lindos colores y material de calidad ;)

These are great for fun with water beads but the scoops pop off the handles so easily. The upside is that they pop right back on and haven't broken yet. The downside is that my toddlers are constantly bringing me their "scissors" to fix

Great gift option to play with orbeez and kinetic sand. Kept my kids entertained for a long time. Only thing is they easily took off the parts connected to handle and broke one. But toddlers always find a way. Still a great purchase

These worked great with our library sensory pool full of water beads. Would also do well for pom poms or the like. But I wonder how durable they’ll be in the long run. They seem a little flimsy for classroom/library- our stuff sees hard use. Would be fine for home, probably.

Fantastiche forbici per bimbi del nido e. Le ho usate con i pom pom di feltro per trasportarli in diversi contenitori. Si possono vedere le diverse modalita'di impugnatura dai piu'piccoli ai piu'grandi. Gioco molto gradito anche con la farina gialla.

Just a Mom here, no therapist or classroom professional. We got these to use with our Orbeez. I was surprised that there were much bigger then I thought. Happily surprised! (You can fit a golf ball inside with room to jiggle it.) There is rubber like lining inside the finger holes for comfort. Easy for my 2.5 year old and certainly my 5 yr old to use. Four was a great number because I put two away for the inevitable broken or lost ones that will occur.Now, the plastic is thin on the "ball" parts. So, I do anticipate them cracking and or shattering (if one were to be stepped on or thrown...toddlers!). But the price is decent and four come so I feel this was a good purchase and besides the Orbeez they will use them with their Kinetic Sand and probably the bathtub.

I first saw these scoopers when I took my 2 & 4 yr old girls to a program at our local library. These were set up in a sensory bin full of rice. All of the kids loved the activity, it was the most popular one in the room. Knowing that amazon carries just about everything, I searched for them and found them when we got home that day. For Easter, I made up a sensory bin full of those orbeez-like water balls for the toddlers who were present. The orbeez were a hit as well as the handy scoopers that the kids used to play in them.Pros:They come in bright vibrant colors that are stimulating to toddlersThe handles are the same as scissor handles so this will get your toddler use to holding a pair of scissors.They can be used for many types of activities. As I mentioned above, the library used them for a rice sensory bin, I used them for orbeez, another option for outdoor fun is to get a bin full of birdseed. You can also hide objects and toys within the sensory bin and the scoopers can be used to identify and scoop the different objects.Cons: nothing I can identify

I love that I can use these and the children can use them too. Even 2 year olds can use them and the holes make them so that they can be used in water. I even wish the holes were larger so that they would be more effective with sand, cornmeal, flour, etc...I think they will help students to learn the motion for cutting faster. I am not sure how they will stand up to years of use. I will have to wait and see, but so far they are holding up to the battering that students are putting on them.
