I was in contact with a Discovery Toys Consultant named Kristen (who was awesome to work with btw!)... and she sent me a Measure Up! Pots & Spoons set, and a Measure Up! Cups set. Both sets are designed to work together.
The Measure Up! Pots & Spoons help to develop motor and thinking skills as well as math, reading and language. All the pots and spoons are proper volume...so you can actually use them :) I really like how thick the plastic is and the colours are awesome! "M" starting stirring the spoons in the pots and stacking them right away...it was cute.. .she really liked them! We had a blast! The set comes with 5 pots and 4 measuring spoons.
The Measure Up! Cups "M" thought were cool.... she's good at stacking...so these nesting cups are perfect for her. They help teach thinking and math skills apart from many other things. I love to watch when she puts the wrong size cup in another. The look on her face is priceless! like... "huh?... why doesn't this look right"?? Then she notices that she missed one and she fixes it... it's almost like she has a little smirk on her face afterwards too.... LOVE IT! She's such a ham! The cup set comes with 12 coloured cups that are numbered... can be used for real measuring, and also have little animals on the bottom so if you're making cookies (or have the playdoh out) you can stamp the animal shapes into it.

The quality is awesome! I haven't seen nesting toys like these that looks like it could actually stand the wrath of "M" and these totally can! We had fun stacking... nesting... throwing and saying the colours of them. Discovery Toys have a LIFETIME guarantee!!!! so...it breaks...you get a new one! They also sell the parts separately too...so if you lose one of the cups..you can order that specific one to complete the set again. Kristen also sent me 5 black eco-totes that have the Discovery Toys logo on it. So for the ladies that I see regularly... hit me up for one... I can share ;)
Thanks Kristen for introducing me to Discover Toys! Both the toys are going on THE LIST!
