Learning Resources Mix & Measure Set

We just un boxed this toy and it is so cool. I did not know that it came with all the different types of recipes with color coded instructions. The measuring cups all match to make a whole, and the scale is color coded as well. This will be so fun when we make sensory activities. I am planning on making moon sand and now I can have my two year old help. I think we are going to get a lot of use and fun out of this toy. All the contents are really well made and seem like they will last a long time. The scale is the only part I worry about but we will see. LOVE this for learning and pure and simple play.

This is a colorful, durable set for budding scientists and imaginative minds. The pieces are cleverly designed to demonstrate several key concepts like fractions, volume and weight and aside from the scale, the increments of measure are true to life. The plastic is a thick, heavyweight, durable material with rounded edges and a solid feel (in contrast to the primary science lab set that we also own which has a thinner, flimsier plastic pieces). My preschooler and toddler play with this set regularly from measuring out sensory materials like beans, rice, water, etc to using it in pretend cooking and even in the bath. The weakest part of the set is the scale, which is not sensitive enough to really demonstrate significant differences and the use of colors as arbitrary weight measurements. The project cards included with the set are laminated and colorful with a nice addition of visual images. Suggested projects include homemade bubbles, color mixing exploration and trail mix recipe among a few others. I was happy to learn that Learning resources provides links to free additional project cards on their website. As other reviewers have pointed out, the ingredients for the projects are not included in this set.

I was introduced to this product by a friend. We had a home-school event and she brought this kit and another learning resources kit for the toddlers to experiment with. It was so fun to have these cups and measuring scale for the little kids. The quality is so nice and it's just so cute. One downside that we experienced is that I let my kids play with the kit in the bathtub. They brought the blue scale in when I wasn't looking, and the sticker came off in the water.

I bought this for my niece nearly 4 years ago (she was 3 at the time) because I wanted to expose her to science at a very young age. She LOVED it then, and today, 4 years later, she and her younger sister still play with it ALL THE TIME. At first, it was great in water tables, sand pits, etc., and today she uses it to conduct her own science experiments - some legitimate and some that are really just adult-sanctioned messes. When younger, I would perform the experiments for her, just to watch her amazement. We go through almost all of the experiments every year, and it's amazing to watch as she grasps the science more and more each time. Despite the 4 years of constant play and 100s of cycles through the dishwasher, each item is still in great shape. (Just came across this item while looking for a new science kit and figured 4 years of play certainly warrants a positive review.)

My grandbaby loves being able to mix and measure...would definitely recommend!

Our toddler absolutely loves this mix and measure activity. It's age appropriate, comes with fun activity cards to challenge, and the pieces are surprisingly sturdy and well made. Keep lots of dish towels handy for the spillage!

Nice toy for playing and measuring and learning number values. It could be better designed. It would be awesome if the cups stacked together inside each other to equal the value of the largest bowl, like if the quarter and half cups all fit into the 1 cup, the 1 cup into the 2 cup and the 2cup into the 4cup, etc. Also, the scale is a little on the junky side. it would be better if it actually worked with real weight values.

My 3 year old asks to play with this at least a few times every week. Partly because he gets to make a bit of a mess but he will measure and pour and experiment for longer with this than most other activities. Big fans of the Learning Resources toys. They are great quality. Kids love them because they are fun, mom lives because they are learning while they play!

Das Experimentierset beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema "Messen & Mixen", geeignet für Kinder ab 3 Jahren. Das Set enthält 22 Teile, verschiedene Messbecher, Waage, Löffel sowie 10 Aufgabenkarten. Das Set ist in englischer Sprache und Einheiten, jedoch ist es auch für jemand der kein Englisch spricht gut zu verstehen. Die Maßeinheiten "Teaspoon & Tablespoon" sind nicht wirklich von Bedeutung, man kann auch so experimentieren. Die Messbecher, wie auch alle anderen Teile sind aus robustem Kunststoff und haben eine sehr wertige, saubere und stabile Verarbeitung. Das Set könnte man auch gut im Sandkasten nutzen. Die Farben sind ansprechend und wecken das Interesse der Kinder, gleich loszulegen. Mit diesem Set lassen sich Verhältnisse & Mengen super darstellen und verstehen! Wieviel ist 1 Liter Wasser, 1kg Reis, Sand - welche Mengen sind es und wie sind die Gewichte dazu, was wiegt wieviel? Auch das Prinzip "Teilen" lässt sich gut darstellen... 1 Ganzes, 1 Halb oder 1/4 - wird mit den Bechern anschaulich. Auch wenn das Set in Englisch ist, gebe ich gerne 5 Sterne - die Qualität und die Möglichkeiten wiegen das ganze auf. Es ist ein tolles Lernset für Kinder ab 3 Jahre, bis ins Grundschulalter. Ein sehr schönes Experimentierset, super zum verschenken!

パッケージ写真からは、化学実験か調理器具セットと言う印象を受けますが、概ねその認知に誤りはありません。 ただ、あくまでも器具のみのセットであり、研究材料と言える食材等は、別途用意する必要があります。 セット内容は、全て樹脂製の軽量カップ＆スプーンに、大雑把な計りも付いています。 そして本商品には『対象年齢3才から』に沿って、初歩的な実験内容を記したカードが付属しており、それに沿って学習していく趣向です。 最も初歩的な物としては『水の形状変化』を学ぶ為に、各容器間で水を移し変えたり、穀物等を用いて『質量』の違いを実感する為に、各容器に入れて観察させたりしています。 内容は極めて単純で面白みはあまりありませんが、親御さんのちょっとした助言があれば、知識へと昇華出来る物ばかりで、歳相応な有用性は認められます。 さらに年長者向けには『絵の具＆粘度＆スライム製造』に『トレイルミックスを作って食べよう』と言う、エンタメ性の高い課題も用意されており、それぞれ年齢に見合った学習内容が提示されていると感じます。 難点としては、求められる実験材料である【各色食紅,各種穀物類】等、小分けではなかなか調達し難い物もあり、予算的には本商品以外に「+2000円」ぐらい見ておいた方が無難です。 また上述実験解説カードは、全て英語表記されており、日本向けにはフルカラー翻訳された別紙で対応しています。 販売元は、米国知育玩具メーカー【Learning Resources】で、パッケージも英語のままでした。 一方で国内販売は、同業の日本企業【ドリームブロッサム】が担っており、上述カード等のローカライズは完璧です。 総じて、欧州安全規格【CE】マークの取得し、総樹脂製で安全性に強く配慮した実験器具セットと言え、親御さんのサポートさえあれば、メーカー提唱通りの用途でお子様の脳を刺激してくれます。 提案されている実験の内容も、お子様の年齢に配慮した段階的難度に調整されており、目新しさも低くは無いので、お子様の気も十分に引けるかと思いますので、☆×5とします。 尚、実験(遊戯)自体には支障は無かったものの、一部のアイテム(計り)は、内部の樹脂部品が破損しているみたいで、振ると「カラカラ」と音がしていました。

all good although some activities that use the scale dont work very well because the scale is not very sensitive.

Inaspettatamente bello! I contenitori sono capienti, indicano la quantità attesa, in plastica robusta colorata e sicura, non si spaccano facilmente e non creano schegge o parti taglienti. Mio figlio che ama i travasi con l'acqua si diverte un mondo! I contenuti sono corredati da ampie schede in cartoncino plastificato a colori in sola lingua inglese (per eseguire gli esperimenti) e da una bilancia giocattolo a colori (non molto precisa e sensibile). I recipienti insegnano le quantità come la metà e il quarto e gli esperimenti sono molto istruttivi in questo senso se eseguiti con attenzione. Ottimo il rapporto qualità/ prezzo.
