These worked perfectly for my 1.5 year old. I filled sections of an ice cube tray with different colored watercolors and gave her some cotton make-up pads to drop colored water on. The faults of these droppers actually ended up being features for us because she doesn't have the motor skills yet to actually use them correctly. She just stuck the end in the paint and kind of pounded it, and it sucked up a couple drops. Then she put it on the cotton pad and pounded it again and the drops fell out. However, I can see them being hard to control for a child who is just learning how to use them correctly, because they will drip if they are held with the end down.
These are so great! I want to introduce my 2 1/2 year- old and 15 month grand children Science. That is what we call it when we play with water. The droppers fit their tiny hands so nice. and they do not leak water. They have to give a gentle squeeze to expel water. It is helping them with fine motor skills.
So so so cool! My 3 year old and 1 year old are entertained for at least 15 minutes. I used these for my 3 year old Dinosaur Party. Froze little tiny dinosaurs in balloons and presented them as "eggs" and had the kids melt them with the droppers.
I love these! I teach preschool and have used them for 2 or 3 years now! Great for little fingers, the kids love the colors, I love the stand. A lot of liquid can be sucked up with these so it is easier for little fingers to get at least some liquid sucked up. Love using these for science experiments adn fine motor practice!
This is a very nicely made set of eyedroppers for kids.
The droppers are well made and fit well into the sturdy base. We've been using these to mix colored water (colored with food coloring) to reinforce lessons on blending primary colors to make other colors.

Description
Have fun experimenting with cause and effect while building fine motor skills at the same time. This set of 6 perfectly sized and colorful droppers store vertically in a convenient stand. A great addition to any science center or sensory table.
Bought this to go with a science kit for my preschool aged children and they LOVE it. Fun, educational...and did I mention FUN? Even the 2 year old went crazy over these droppers. If you aren't doing any type of real experiment, just fill a few bowls with water and food coloring and kids have a blast mixing and transferring the water and experimenting with colors. Happy with the purchase.
Great for little hands. My son has autism and poor motor skills and the larger grips were a big help. He is able to use his whole hand to squeeze the top. They seem very durable and I like that each top is a different color because I can tell him by color which one to use.
I have a plastic bin of various empty bottles and caps that we collect and he uses them in the sink to make various potions and pretend he is testing pool water to get the chemicals right. It keeps him busy forever and if I add some food coloring to it it blows his mind. These little droppers and the rack are very sturdy and easy to clean and will last a ling time.
Great dropper set for kids. Very durable and user friendly. They can really take what kids dish out. Recommended.
Love these. Use them for my JellyBeanStreet children's finger painting workshops with the kids to drop water onto the powdered paint. They are great for the younger ones to use. They are able to hold and squeeze them without any problems!!
