 Way better than I expected!May 08, 2008
By Catherine Swinford
First, this thing is much larger than I thought it would be, which means we can weigh a wide variety of items with it. Also, it comes with a set of 5 and 10 gram ingots. My daughter launched into playing with it the moment I removed it from the box (it requires very slight assembly). This was a really good purchase for us.

Better than I expectedApr 18, 2010

This seems to be an incredibly accurate little scale. It was bigger than I expected, but that's been a good thing. We learned that My Little Ponies weigh the same as a ball. It's held up to a two year old trying to "help" and a four year old who really loves measuring all the items in her world. I like the ability to "zero" out the scale using the adjusters on the top.

No batteries Required... only IMAGINATION and EXPERIMENTATION are needed!Oct 10, 2009
By Barbara
A perfect scale for a toddler! Countless hours can be spent... learning by doing! Experimentation of weighing objects to see which is heavier/lighter makes for a more well rounded future scientist! A necessary accompaniment are two sets of weighted numbers! This is a must needed addition to enhance and develop math skills.
A perfect toy for a little one to make a prediction and then prove or disprove the theory! The scientific method in its most elementary form!
All in all... a great learning toy with no batteries!

 Nice Concept, but FlimsySep 09, 2011
By S. Rose
I ordered this pan balance for use in my math lessons. It is a great tool with lots of potential so much that my kids have used it for everything imaginable. Upon receipt of this item, things were already falling out of the box, for example, the hexagrams. When put together, the hanging/attachment part of the balance is very flimsy; the rest of it is seemingly sturdy. If you're looking for something to use for a long time, this is probably not the balance for you.

Math conceptsSep 20, 2011
By Byky
We bought this to help our autistic son who is struggling with several related math concepts (More, Greater than, Less than, Bigger, smaller etc.). The BEST part about this scale is stacking/interlocking number cubes work great as weights! A single cube difference is enough weight to make the heavier bowl OBVIOUS (nearly touching the table!) That really made our day. Also as noted by other customers the scale is much larger than expected. The bowls on this puppy can EASILY hold 50 of the individual cubes with room to spare! (I couldn't find them all to test out 100 lol) This really was a fantastic bargain for us. It's a sturdy enough plastic, although I wouldn't recommend stepping on it... and although a single interlocking cube does make an obvious weight difference in the bowls I wouldn't suggest using this for actual scientific experimentation ;) However if you are looking for a great tool to visually and kinesthetically (hands on) express math concepts, or just a fun and unique toy, I WOULD recommend this one!
