Learning Resources Primary Bucket Balance

Bought this for homeschooling and I love it. It's hard plastic, so it feels sturdy, but has no glass I will worry about getting broke. I like that the compartments can come off for easy wash if need be. I would definitely buy this again! Worth the money.

My 4 and 7 year old kids both love playing with this scale. We got a set of Learning Resources weights (https://www.amazon.com/Hexagram-Weights-Set-LER-4292/dp/B000URFT3G/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=learning+resources+weights&qid=1600224656&sr=8-1) to go with it. Mostly I have let them figure out what they can do with it so far. First, my daughter weighed some of her small toys (Scrubby Pets animals) and used the weights to compare them. Then, they realized that the containers could hold water, so they decided to compare weights for liquids. This was just in our first week of owning the toy. Since we are doing a lot of home learning activities right now, I can see us pulling this out more when my older kid learns about measurement or just for fun as we cycle through our different science tools. Using the weights has been a great way to reinforce addition for my daughter (since to make up the weight for one Scrubby Pet she might have to add 10+10+5+1g) and for my younger child to learn the concepts of more/less or heavier/lighter. If I had one complaint, it is that the buckets on either side of the scale slip off easily and have to be put back on a lot. The plastic on the buckets is not as sturdy as it could be. However, as with all Learning Resources items I've purchased, the design is well thought out and it doesn't have more bells and whistles than needed to convey the main function and concept.

Got this as a classroom give for my sons pre-k teacher and she loves the quality of this. It’s fun for all the kids but also teaches at the same time. The size is great and I love the ease of use for little hands. Bright bold colors. She loves this gift 10/10

Good balance scale for the price. I use it in my prek4 classsroom.

I bought this to introduce the idea of weight and balance to my preschooler. It doesn't take much to tip the scales of this balance as it's actually fairly sensitive. I've used it with the counting bears and just one bear will make it tip completely in one direction. The buckets are marked with 100, 200, 300, and 400 ml with 50 ml tick mark graduations. The lids snap on, but not very securely. The containers lift off the balance very easily as only gravity is keeping them on. It will need some adjusting of the calibration weights, located on the arms, once you get it out of the box and I've been able to get it fairly close to center. It's a great teaching tool for the beginner and until you start needing precise measurements in your kid's coursework, this is a good balance to begin with.

These are excellent for math groups and easy for my Kinder class to use! They had a great deal of fun weighing everything in the classroom!

This was the third balance I bought. And it works! Very sensitive to small differences in weight — which is good. Nice tabs for “zeroing” the scale. Looks like resilient construction. I’m satisfied.

Another toy that my son had to have after playing with it at his cousin's house. I had thought about getting him a scale/balance toy but wasn't sure he'd play with it. This is the one I chose after reading all the reviews. He has really enjoyed it, too. The cups sit on the beam well and are easy to place and take off. The drawer is a little bonus as it can store little things to weigh/compare. And there are lids for the cups if you need them. I did not get anything to put in the cups (to balance) as I thought we'd have stuff around the house. And we do, but I wish now I'd gotten some counting bears or something specifically for this as sometimes his choices are less then ideal. It made of a light, hard plastic and probably would not stand up to a huge amount of abuse. But ours has been dropped on hard floors several times in the past year and is not damaged at all. So I would say it is durable if not abused. Edit to add: Two years later and this toy is still intact and has stood up to the wear-and-tear of a couple years play with an active child.

Hours of fun with this great durable scale . Would recommend

Great items for kids
