Learning Resources Handy Scoopers - Sensory Bin Sand Toys, Fine Motor, Montessori Kids, Plastic Tweezers, Homeschool Preschool Supplies, Gifts for Boys and Girls

A great sensory bin tool. A couple of buckets and you have more than enough for a classroom and for the price point it wasn't hard to fulfill the teachers request. Scoops have held up with through a couple of years of classroom play.

Bought for my daughter’s class. They were fun,easy to use, durable, perfect for 2nd grade.

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

Fun and Durable Fine Motor Skill Builders – Some Handles a Bit Tight I’ve used these Handy Scoopers in my daycare, and they’re fantastic for developing kids’ hand strength and coordination. The bright colors are very inviting, and the kids absolutely love using them with sensory bins, water beads, or even sand. The plastic is sturdy and easy to clean – I just wash them in warm, soapy water and let them air dry. The only slight drawback is that some of the handles are a little tight for younger or weaker hands, so not every child can squeeze them easily at first. They do loosen up a bit with use. Overall, though, they’re a great tool for playful learning and skill development! ★★★★☆ (4/5)

Fun activity for preschoolers, prepares hand muscles for holding and cutting with scissors.

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 toddlers The 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

Very cool, but one broke the very first time it was used. Disappointed.

We use these all of the time for different set ups. They are durable, good quality and a great addition to many sensory activities. It's definitely worth the money.
