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.

Great learning tool

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.

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

We’ve already gotten so much use out of this for our little preschool!!! So far we have used it to weigh apples (or apple stuffies) versus toys or loose parts. My students have found it fascinating how it works. Beige mom era me would’ve loved if it was wood toned but the 90s kid in me loves that it is in primary colors! The buckets come off easily and aren’t exactly easy to put back on for tiny toddler hands but overall it is super durable and easy to use!

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

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!

Hours of fun with this great durable scale . Would recommend
