I used this product when I taught pre-school. This was a Christian School, where we did our own daily cleaning with a gentleman that came in once a week to do an overall cleaning of our building. In my 3-4 year olds' classroom, I had a helper chart. My students absolutely LOVED when it was their turn to dust and sweep. My three and four year old students easily managed these implements and did a remarkably good job of keeping our classroom tidy. I am now getting ready to purchase a set for my great grandson. He is only 19 months right now but already a champion mess maker........ smile! As I am a firm believer in kids taking responsibility for cleaning up the messes they make, I know this will be a good investment in his future. : )
