Legato Counting/Sorting Bears and GIVEAWAY!

I grew up using these colorful rainbow counting bears and wanted to get some for my son. Some of the most popular sources of these counting bears is from Learning Resources and and Skoolzy. Legato's bears is the second most popular listing on Amazon and this is my favorite choice if you are only getting one set. The bears on Legato's set is exactly the same as the bears in the Skoolzy set and they are slightly different than the set from Learning Resources (the bears are sitting instead of standing).

One of the main factors I like this set the most is that it comes in a nice carrying case! When you have kids, you accumulate a lot of stuff. So when said stuff comes neatly packaged and can be stored in a container - you want to get this version of whatever the stuff is!

The green tongs pictured above is what sold me. I am an Occupational Therapist so I have a background that helps inform my decisions on what toys I want for my kid. One of them is having different kinds of tongs. The fact that this set comes with tongs and is not priced significantly higher than its competitor (at the time of posting the price difference is $0.98) made this set stand out. You can use the tongs with picking up these bears and sorting them into cups, BUT you can use these tongs for all sorts of other activities. I mean, just having the container sold me in and of itself...but the tongs? It was the cherry on top.

These bears have a nice weight to them and they are solid - plastic through and through! These bears are just over an inch tall so supervision is required if your kid is mouthing - these are definitely a choking hazard. They are non-toxic and have been tested by a third party lab to ensure safety.

When you buy the set of bears, you will be emailed an activity book (ebook) that you can print out and use as a learning tool. These bears are great for STEM learning and can be used in open ended play. The uses for these bears are endless - and that was why this was a must-have item for my son!

The activity book can also be purchased separately on Amazon. The sheets are cover stock paper (thick) and have a nice slick substantial feel to them. The color print is quite nice, but, in all honestly I do feel that for almost $14, they are a bit expensive.

Legato was kind enough to give us a full set, bears and activity sheets, to our dedicated readers! Please comment below with your name, email, and how you'll use these rainbow bears with your little one by September 30, 2018 and you will be entered into our raffle.
