Learning Resources Primary Science Measuring Set, 3 years+, plastic, for preschoolers

The primary science measuring set from Learning Resources is an essential educational tool for little explorers of the world of measurement. This colorful set is suitable for preschoolers and toddlers, helping them understand basic measurements, equivalents, and fractions through practical and engaging activities. Children discover how to compare, measure, and understand volumes and fractions in a concrete and fun way.

The set introduces new concepts into children's vocabulary, such as teaspoon, cup, half a cup, volume, and weight. Each measuring resource uses color coding, and the specific colors match the fractions represented on the scale's dial. Thus, children easily associate fractions with the corresponding pieces and retain the concepts learned during play better.

The pieces are made of plastic, with smooth and rounded edges, ideal for small hands. The set helps children understand equivalents and fractions in a concrete way, introduces them to the concept of measuring weight and volume, and at the same time, improves hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. It is a useful resource both at home and in the classroom, within the educational toys for the classroom category.

The set contains a scale with a fractional dial, a bowl with a lid (approximately 12 cm high x 15 cm diameter), 2 measuring cups (one small and one large), 4 measuring cups (1 cup, half a cup, and two quarters of a cup), 3 measuring spoons (tablespoon, teaspoon, and half a teaspoon), and 10 activity cards for practical and applied exercises. Keep the toy away from fire, high temperatures, and humidity, and keep the instructions for future reference.
