 Wonderful teaching aid that children love!Nov 26, 2007
By Elizabeth Giromini
These bears are wonderful! The kids at my house loved them! We would have school time on the floor and the kids, ages 10 months to 4 years, would all sit quietly whenever they saw I had the bears.
We counted the bears, we discussed the bear's colors, we discussed the bear's sizes, we sorted the bears, we made patterns with the bears, we discussed similarities and differences with the bears. You name it, we did it with the bears, and I had the kids rapt attention the whole time, especially as they knew right answers "won" them bears. I would give them a bear to hold for each right answer. After I finished the lesson they could play with their bears for a few minutes and then help me put the bears away by color, or by counting as we put them in the bucket, or in a certain order, etc.
The bears are well made, there is nothing on them to break. The bears are small so close supervision is a must with these! We only used the bears during school time so they stayed very special to the kids.
I love how the bears are weighted, they will be valuable teaching tools for a long time! Add the bears, put the bears on the scale and weight them, simple algebra, how many baby bears equals the weight of one papa bear?

bears, bears, bears!Aug 06, 2009
By Lorel Shea
My family has been enjoying our bucket of counting bears for years. The rainbow colors are very appealing to youngsters. Bears can be sorted according to size (there are three sizes, aka Papa Bear, Mama bear, and Baby bear!) and/or color. We have a bucket balance scale that works beautifully with the bears, so that kids can discover how the different sizes correspond to one another. The bears are made of durable, very hard plastic. We have used these with three kids (plus friends) and have never broken one.

Not only can you make color patterns but also pattern by size. Also great play with scales the three bears are each different weights.

 Great but red and orange difficult to tell apartApr 21, 2011
By sg's mom
My daughter loves playing with these bears and the pattern cards I ordered. The only problem is that the orange and the red bears are so close in color it is hard for her to distinguish. Ordinarily, she does know the difference between red and orange. She finds it frustrating when she has to keep asking me if the bear is supposed to be red or orange. But still, it has got her more interested in counting and trying to learn the concept of patterns.
