The kids in my preschool class love this toy. It is played with almost every day by kids of all ages and stages of development. It is a high quality toy that has lasted a few years. I did have to purchase it twice because those little balls tend to roll away into some abyss in my preschool. :-) So now I have a lot of extra balls and tubes in case something gets lost or broken, though I don't anticipate the tubes to break.

I love the simplicity of this activity that develops such an important skill for handwriting. For extra fun, I added a color dice, whatever color it lands on is the color you pick and sort. All items are very sturdy, a great morning arrival activity.

Love this toy. Highly entertaining for my three year old!

One of my grandchildren had a muscle weakness. This toy was not only fun for him but it was very therapeutic. He has come a long way and no longer needs it for strengthening purposes but he still plays with it all the time as does his siblings.

The kids I care for love this toy.At first the younger ones just put the balls in using their hands,then they leave to use the tweezer tongs and place by colors. it is perfect for all ages.It is well made and I have recently bought a second one. It's not only great for fine motor,but talking about colors and counting.Highly reccomend this!

I decided to puchase this product based on the positive reviews. My child was grabbing their pencil with their entire hand. It took time however, my child slowly transitioned their skills from holding the tweezer tongs to holding the pencil. Wish I would've found this sooner. If yiur child is stuggling with hilding a pencil then, definitely give this a try.

This is great for prewriting skills and pencil grasp. My students love this item and enjoy categorizing the balls and even making patterns. The balls do bounce and they are quite small, so just be aware.

I love this toy. We use it for units on balls and tubes/tunnels. It's also great for sorting, counting and practicing pre-writing skills. The three prong tweezer is great for little hands.

Rubber balls, not slippery plastic. Grabber is a little more complicated to grab the balls as it has 3 tongs. Just takes more for the fingers to grip the balls. My Daycare kids love to use thongs this will challenge them.

My students love this toy and it's very popular in my preschool classroom.

absolutely love it to kill time

Great for my pre-k students! Highly requested center that helps develop fine motor skills, colors, counting, sorting, and creating patterns. Although the balls may end up rolling across my classroom, I love this hands-on center for my students.
