aquarium

c'est une super activité de saison mais j'ai été déçue par la taille du bocal qui est à mon gout trop petit

Carole B. on 17/03/2026
Trés joli

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!
