Not that great
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
It would be nice if this actually balanced when things were equal. As it is off out of the box, it is not a great teaching tool.
Not quite what I expected.
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I am a preschool teacher and I bought this to use in my classroom. I loved the idea of it being wood – not plastic. I am glad I only bought one – rather than the 4 I contmeplated. I was surprised by how small the bowls were and that they were just attached by a thin string. Somehow, the children kept getting the strings all twisted around the main “post”. I did like that the bowls were fairly high so it was clear which side was higher and which was lower – with some plastic balances I have used, there is so little room for the bowl to move, it is difficult to tell which one is heavier. My students did enjoy playing with it, I am just not sure it is worth the realitively high price.
