Learning Resources Primary Science Jumbo Test Tubes with Stand, Set of 6 Tubes, Ages 3+, Multi-color (LER2788)

These are a lot bigger in person than I thought which I love! Great value for the price and my toddler plays with them for hours. They came assembled and ready to play so that was a plus as well. Love the different colors so my son can learn his colors as he plays.

Durable plastic and good size for little hands. You can't beat Learning Resources toys!

When I bought these for my daughter, I thought it would be big but never expected this big, she enjoys it... and makes great cups if you are in the kitchen making juice

My 5 year old son wanted to play "potions" in the bathtub. He loves the little colored bath beads that turn the water colors - and wanted to use cups or bowls to make "potions". My wife remembered seeing these sort of over-sized test tubes at a store - and we found them here on Amazon. These are fantastic; durable, fun and easy for kids to use. Unlike cups or bowls, these are plastic and clear - allowing the kids to see their "potions" inside. They are used with love every bath time - if you're looking for a bath-safe "chemistry set", this does the job. Note: instead of bath beads we use some cheap food coloring for the potions - and he loves it.

I ordered these test tubes for my 6 year old grandson. He was playing with a set of test tubes/flask that were simply not made to be manipulated by anyone, but they did look good. I also realized that he had to learn how to use the test tubes, how to pour, how to measure, bow to control his movements. These large test tubes are calibrated for easy use and measuring. They are easy to handle, a child can pour with them and in doing so develope the motor skills to use these instruments. They learn how to pour to measure, such as pour to the lowest line for 25ml. These test tubes are great for instrumentation kindergarden 101.

Sturdy plastic and love the holder for these test tubes. Great size for small hands. My grandkids love them, as do I.

Nice size for young children

I wish it recommended more science suggestions on what to do with it. But there are 3 recommendations that come with it in 3 different languages. Either way my 4 and 5 year old boys still have a blast mixing soap, water, and glycerin for bubbles; baking soda, vinegar, and a balloon or food coloring; or sand, dirt, or grass and what ever bugs they find. They make a mess and I have easy clean up just hosing these down with water.
