We bought the bucket for our 1-year-old son. So far, he has the bucket used in the bath and huge fun with it here, because with every bucket the water from another opening comes out. With the bucket with the screen bottom you can of course also great sand seven! The buckets have just the right size for children's hands. Loaded with sand, they should not be too heavy. Only Ster downside: If, oily bath additive stain the painted eyes from the buckets. The manufacturer was assured that the color is not harmful to health. Still ugly, if the child has black spots on his hands after a bath!
