Hape Monster Math Scale | 22-Piece Wooden Counting, Balancing, Measuring Weight Toy Playset For Preschoolers

¿Quieres que tus peques aprendan matemáticas sin llanto, amenazas ni fugas teatrales bajo la mesa? Entonces la Báscula Matemática Monstruosa de Hape es tu mejor aliada. Este juego educativo convierte sumas y restas en una especie de feria de monstruitos donde el que pesa más… ¡gana equilibrio mental y numérico! Los monstruitos son adorables (en plan “me como tus deberes pero con amor”), y la balanza es robusta y fácil de usar. Tus hijos aprenderán conceptos como “igual que”, “más que” y “¡ese monstruo tiene sobrepeso académico!” sin darse cuenta de que están haciendo matemáticas. ¿La mejor parte? Ver la cara de triunfo de tu peque cuando consigue balancear la báscula y te dice: "¡Mira, mamá/papá, 3 monstruitos de 2 pesan igual que 1 de 6!" — mientras tú estás ahí pensando que, a su edad, aún te peleabas con las tablas de multiplicar. En resumen: educativo, resistente, divertido y lo suficientemente monstruosamente encantador como para que las mates se conviertan en el mejor juego del día.

I just barely gave mine away. It was heart breaking but my kids outgrew it. They knew their math up to ten. So I bought this for a family member with kids this age. (I almost considered holding on to this for grandkids... but clearly we have a LONG way to go). An adult does need to put it together, but that allows for it to condense back down to the box. (Just putting the hands on.) The child puts a "5" weight in one hand and in the other hand they can put weights that add up to five. Too much and the scale goes down too far. This is all so simplistic. So why is it so fun? I have no clue. Maybe because it's so darling. Maybe because the material the weights are made from feel good in the hand and have the numbers in a fun kid style. Maybe because you can try to squish things on the hand. But it is a BLAST. And somehow, a normal weigh scale just doesn't do it -- or where would I find it that wouldn't pinch my kids' fingers? And the colors are so inviting. And it's just darling! I've used it for ALL my kids. Everyone loved it. (Now tell me how often that happens?!) I think this is the perfect present. I will say, I was actively involved with my kids as they played with it. I don't know if it sings by itself. But because it's purpose wasn't just for pure play. (Had it been, all the weights would have ended up all over the house... although I'm sure they'd try weighing other various things around the house which could have been interesting.). So PERFECT for the grandparent or parent who wants to spend time with their kiddo and help them learn. I'd say ages from 2-6 years old probably. But my 9 year old, after I gave it away told me she snuck it open and played with it often still. Oops! So I guess it goes until older! Thank you whoever made this toy. You have blessed our family!! And my kids get math and comparisons!

Hochwertige Verarbeitung, ansprechendes Design, Waage funktioniert gut; mein Sohn hat viel Spaß daran auszuprobieren wie viel er in welche Hand legen muss, um die Waage auszugleichen, lernt so spielerisch Mengen, Zahlen und Rechnungen kennen; es wäre schön, wenn auch die 1 als großes Teil vorhanden wäre, nicht nur als ganz kleines Monster, aber das ist Meckern auf hohem Niveau; bei kleineren Geschwistern unter 3 Jahren gut aufpassen, da die kleinsten Monster eine sehr ungünstige Veschluckgröße haben; Versand und Liederung schnell und problemlos;

My son is 4.5 and really loves this product. It’s really helped him understand adding and the scale is a great way to keep him engaged!

My son loves this. It is great at teaching inequalities, and is sturdy
