This was a fun addition to our homeschool i would recommend

We just received this today and it looks great and pretty durable for a plastic toy. I love the little 'extras' for measuring that it comes with (activity cards for measuring, fraction cup measures, and the cubes), so I give it credit for those, but it wasn't why I purchased it.I purchased this because I thought the scale would automatically shift from greater-than (>), equal (=), and less-than (<) symbols. Instead, I discovered that feature is something you have to do MANUALLY, which doesn't help me at all, because I wanted my daughter to learn this independently through play. (And now, when she DOES play independently, it will often show the inaccurate symbol for the relationship, which is probably detrimental to her learning!) If I'd known that I had to do it manually, I would have bought a different scale that I liked more and just created little cards to show the greater-than/equal/less-than symbols. I'm really disappointed this feature wasn't as expected and I am seriously considering returning this scale.

My kid loves to play with this, but it has a measuring cup missing :(

This scale is decent for introducing capacity to preschool/kindergarten age students. Best if using dry goods in the scale pieces, however, as the clear plastic holders leak water; which was disappointing.

My kid was so excited about this toy but once he started measuring liquids we noticed that both of the cups on the scale had a hole in the bottom. Big mess!

My boys really enjoyed playing with the learn to measure activity set. They liked trying to figure out how to balance the scale and I loved that they were using their critical thinking skills and learning while playing! The quality of the toy is great and worth the money spent.

Great learning tools. Very pleased with this item
