Review: My daughter loves this as she’s just learning about germs. She’s 2.5 months and she’s doing great with these! There are two tweezers in this game set. We have yet to master the big one, but the game is fun, bright and educational. It definitely sparked her attention the moment she saw it. Highly recommend for children who are just learning to handle tweezers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be too advanced for a second birthday gift?**
A: I think if your 2 year old knows colors you could use it for that, but I’m not sure if a 2 year old can play the actual game. And pieces are kinda small so could be a choking hazard if that is a concern.

**Q: Can the test tubes hold water?**
A: YES :)

Mon enfant de 2ans joue beaucoup pour l'instant avec ce jeu qui lui permet d'améliorer sa motricité fine. Côté couleur c'est également ludique. Après l'histoire de des et des cartes c'est je pense plus pour les 3ans. Pour les <2ans attentions aux petites pièces qui peuvent être avalées. Il faut donc rester avec l'enfant.
