Smaller than expected
Great for sensory play in the sand table! The children really enjoy using them. I just wish they were slightly bigger, as the size is a little smaller than expected.

Awesome for the beach
Bought these for a beach trip for my girls, 2 and 4, and they were amazing! My girls played with them for hours and they loved matching the colors and textures. They held up really well and still look brand new after a week at the beach.

Nice product
Perfect for use in my preschool classroom with light tables. Size is large enough for my students to easily manage. They love to sort as well as mix colors by placing 2 shells on top of one another.

We love them
Beautiful and well made. Every kid you sees them wants them. Easy to carry and lightweight. Tons of shells to do different activities with. A sensory table must have.

Colorful, fun and engaging.
Colorful, fun, engaging. Wish they were slightly cheaper. There are 6 different colors (classic rainbow), 12 of each color. Each color has 6 different patterns (2each). They make fun clinking noises when playing with them and are fairly sturdy. They are definitely small enough to be swallowed by a little one, so supervision would be necessary for little kiddos. The bucket it comes in had a nice carrying handle and is about the size of a Kleenex box.

Great for sensory play and counting
Used for a sensory bin for my 1 year old. The size feels appropriate for her age and they're a good price for what you get. Seems like she having fun too!

Unique textures, color and texture pairs for matching
These shells are durable plastic and are easy to wash. They have pairs of textures in each color so you can sort by texture with many colors or sort by color with many textures. My son also uses these for sensory time because the textures keep it interesting. The plastic is an even color through out and doesnโt dull over time. They seem sturdy enough to withstand some biting as none of ours have cracked or chipped. We drop them plenty and no breaks making them durable.

Great open ended toy
I couldn't buying these for a long time. But I'm so happy that I did. Use it with counting, add texture to slime and Play-Doh and we even go treasure hunting in the sandbox. The durability is great. The only disappointment is that they're a little small and his younger sibling can't play with him because of choking risk.
