Learning Resources Bucket Balance, 1g Sensitivity, Mass Measurement, Includes Buckets, Ages 3+

My littles aren't using it yet to measure weight, but they've grabbed the buckets off and accidentally dropped the scale a few times, and it still works properly.

This is a nice beginner balance. It serves well for introducing a balance. Gram stackers can be bought separately but not immediately needed (depends on your lesson needs). Use with solids and liquids. It can be easily balanced and the kids wanted to explore this new math tool right away. After they wrote about Math Tools in their interactive notebooks they went to learn and play immediately. It's small and lightweight making it easy to take it on the go. It however, might break easily so some rules for use and a safe location should do. A good homeschooling option as well.

It balanced perfectly out of the box. The cups are very large and I would feel comfortable pouring liquid in them.Bigger than expected.Happy overall with this purchase for my 6 year olds school experiments.

Needed a cheap balance for a maths project for my tutoring job. Not only was it cheaper than I thought i would be but it does the job, and is a little more compact than other models. Well worth purchasing!

This is a very nice scale to teach weight concepts to preschoolers. The baskets hold quite a bit - solid or liquid - and it's easy for small hands to use.

It's a scale and it does what it's suppose to do! We enjoyed using it to measure from liquids to sand or just other things you can weigh, my daughter started to even weigh her own toys including play food toys. It's nice to be able to play with something that gives kids the concepts of how big one thing can be still can weigh less than something so small. It was a great addtion to my daughter's play kitchen as well as for her science set play toys. It's a simple item to have but I got a really great buy from Amazon, Thanks!=)

It does the job for early PreK/K without the bells and whistles.

Just what I was looking for in a balance for my homeschool. The buckets can be used with wet or dry materials. The quality is good as expected from a Learning Resources product. I would buy this balance again.
