Customer review
made with a child from 20 months to 3 and a half years. At 20 months: plays but with delicate gestures, at 2 and a half years, the child doesn't need tweezers, he puts his fingers inside, at 3 and a half years precision with tweezers is a difficult exercise and the fingers no longer fit! The result is very pretty! It is very much appreciated!
fait avec petit de 20 mois à 3 ans et demi. A 20 mois: joue mais geste délicat, a 2 ans et demi, l'enfant n' a pas besoin de pince il passe ses doigts a l'intérieur, a 3 ans et demi précision avec une pince exercice difficile et les doigt ne rentre plus! Résultat très joli! ça plait beaucoup!
it's a great seasonal activity but I was disappointed by the size of the jar which I find too small
c'est une super activité de saison mais j'ai été déçue par la taille du bocal qui est à mon gout trop petit
