I do many different types of activities with my kids that help encourage everything from developing fine motor skills to learning their letters, numbers, etc. Even my two year old enjoys getting in on many of the projects we do and does an amazing job. I am always looking for new games, activities, etc...which is why I love Learning Resources!
The leading manufacturer of innovative, hands-on educational materials for classrooms and the home...Learning Resources has been a trusted source for educators and parents for more than 25 years! With a diverse product line of over 1300 products, it's no wonder they are a name known around the world!
I have been a big fan of Learning Resources for many years. I was first introduced to their amazing selection of products when I taught preschool, and have continued to turn to them for hands-on activities that build a foundation of skills through imagination and fun for my own kids. That's why I was excited to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review the Gator Grabber Tweezers!
- helps develop pincer grasp
- 12 tweezers in 6 fun colors
- resealable bucket
- for ages 2-5
When the Gator Grabber Tweezers arrived, I was really happy to see that they come in a resealable bucket. This is the perfect way to make sure we keep all of our tweezers together when we're not using them. It also helps me stay organized! YAY!
Of course, I was drawn to the bright colors of these fun tweezers as well! There are 12 total tweezers, two of each color (red, blue, green, orange, yellow and purple). Not only are the colors inviting for even the youngest of children, but I absolutely love the fact that the tweezer looks like a little gator. This is probably Kaden's favorite part!!
As I said, I enjoy doing different types of learning activities with my kids, and do so almost daily. We do a lot of fine motor work, and the kids especially enjoy sorting and one-to-one correspondence type activities. We've been able to do a lot of this with the Gator Grabber Tweezers and the best part...both my two year old and 4 year old can do it!
I love watching as they grow and develop those important fine motor skills. It's also a great way to develop pincer grasp!
We've really had a lot of fun with these tweezers from Learning Resources. The different things we're able to do with them are countless, not to mention the fact that they will be used for a very long time considering the quality is top notch. I would definitely recommend the Gator Grabber Tweezers to other parents and educators.

Buy It: You can purchase the Gator Grabber Tweezers from Learning Resources for $10.99.
Win It: One very lucky reader is going to win a set of Gator Grabber Tweezers of their own!
