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