Do you squeeze the product out into individual bowls or do the kids do it themselves? Not sure how to do this with a 3- and 4-year old.

Wish I could attach a picture, I squeezed it out for my 1 & 3 year old granddaughters.

All kids are different, but if you moderate a few games with them so they get a handle on the rules and are used to playing the game together, I would think they should be able to play by themselves. There is no reading involved, other than learning the instructions. If they are used to playing the game and don't need to look up rules, there will be nothing they need to read in order to play.

as long as he is past putting every thing in his mouth it should be fine. It's messy for all ages till around 5 and you can insist they clean it themselves. Worth the mess considering how much kids enjoy it.

I thought the same as well, but they do close, it's just tricky. You have to kind of keep your hand on one side of the bowl while closing the rest. Or press against yourself while closing at the same time, this may not make any sense, sorry! Hope you get it to close!

My wife actually got them apart. Try soaking them in hot, then cold water. Particularly cold (icy) water on the inside and very hot on the outside bowl. Be patient and repeat. Use a thin knife. Plastic or something flimsyer than the bowls, and work to pry them apart. Really have to be patient or you'll break them. Wife said she spent all day working on them. I think the detergent idea from the other poster is good too. That stuff is slippery and should loosen them up.

Very very simplistic..only place the 4 wheeks on which comes inside the container..no fuss! Hope this helps you.

No, but it's play-doh. What sort of directions do you need? All children ages 2-12 to take it out of the container. It's mushy and they play with it. The end.

Very easy. My 5 year old was able to do it by himself. My 2 year old could do it with some help. Just takes a minute or two.

My kids did it together. But there is 2 of them. 9&10 years old. I supervised and double checked their work.

We actually used this at a church event with several age ranges of kids from 4 years old to 4th grade. The youngest that could do this without a lot of assistance was about 6. The 4 & 5 year old children needed more assistance. This is a generalization, of course, but that's about the youngest that played with it and had any interest. The box lists choking hazards for children under 3 so we didn't have those children at do it. My 8 year old daughter actually got very good at this and wound up helping the younger ones. All of the kids older than 6 could figure it out pretty quick and enjoyed playing with it. We actually used this at a church event with several age ranges of kids from 4 years old to 4th grade.

If you are talking about filling from the bottom, then yes, you can use a small spoon. What my friend does is squeeze the ingredients onto her baby spoon before each bite.

I just screwed the lid on like any bottle or sippy cup. I did not over tighten or under tighten. Just snug. Then they suck on the edge and it comes out. I tried it.... Works great. My 4 and 6 year old kids want one too. I have not tried milk in it yet but it should be fine. No leaks that i have seen.

I press in at the numbers and they come apart quite easily. My boys are 14 months now and can get the smaller ones apart. The *key* is to not nest them as balls. If you want to nest them within each other, don't snap the smaller balls together.

You can use a spoon to fill them with some success. Sometimes on the way in the food gets on the seal, which isn't that big of a deal. I have a metal funnel that's perfect for filing them mess free.

it is easy for me with one hand. A little kid might need to use both hands, but that would work too. (The 24oz bottles might be too long and heavy for little ones though when fullif liquid).

You have to "slide" it in from the side, I think. Worth a try. Or maybe have one person hold one side down while another person pushes the axle down with foot (while wearing a shoe!) Try both suggestions. It's been a while since I put ours together. We have so many of these kids things, it hard to remember how they were all put together. I totally understand your frustration!

I actually cut it into 3 pieces. Then I applied one piece at a time being very careful to line them up exactly! Make sureyou do it when you have no interruptions such as little kids running around or you might become extremely frustrated! I've has mine up for almost a year and it is still amazing. Good luck! :)
