About this item:
Cute plastic bears in three sizes, three weights, and six colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Baby bear weighs 4 grams, mama weighs 8 grams, and papa weighs 12 grams. Proportional weights allow use on balance for measurement discoveries ("How many babies weigh as much as mama and papa?"). We recommend doing these activities on a pan balance, not a teeter-totter type balance where the placement of the bears is crucial (and potentially frustrating for young children). The set includes 24 papa, 24 mama, and 48 baby bear counters and is packaged in a resealable bag. Note that although the bears are slightly different in appearance (bears are standing and wearing backpacks) to the ones featured on the Three Bear Family Sorting and Pattern cards below, the sizes, colors and weights are identical.
