Can preschool children exert enough pressure to operate independently

Yes, it is perfect, event the two year olds do not have any problem with it.

No i absolutely dont think it would be too advanced. The bottom circle that makes you have to balance is removable and a smaller circle is underneath so you can change the challenge aspect of it to make it a little safer. Also im sure your children could hold on to a chair at first to get used to the balancing part!of it and then be ok on their own:) its actually a lot of fun.

It would be ok with supervision and assistance only if they do not have skilled balance and control. There is tisk of falling and injury and the line snapping back at you if you slip off. I have assisted with kids as young as 3 on it but never let go of their hand.

Good question but my kids are 4 and half years old so I still do it by myself but it's really comfortable and nice I would recommend this like you said she's almost 7 so she should be able to and on the other hand my twin boys have autism so I have to do it for them

I think it may be a bit short, our 3 year old preschoolers use it just fine.

It does not have pressure connectors. We use it without attaching it to the wall as a barrier to separate feuding cats. It does require that it not be in a straight line, that one of the panels is at an angle. it would not be safe to use it in this fashion around children.

I think with enough training and a little strength, a 4 year old may be strong and smart enough to do it. I have 4 yr old nephews I think I could teach how to open it. I doubt they'd figure out how to do it on their own.

Yes. As long as the liquid is not too hot. Then a teacher can help once in awhile. My 5 yo can do it.

I used them on my 2 year old. My kids started using them independently at 5. Easy to use.

The action required may be difficult for someone with sever hand arthritis but for a young toddler it would be difficult. My 34 month old granddaughter has not figured it out, although she does not try any more because the plastic knobs now symbolize "do not enter". I suggest that a preschooler, let's say 4 yo, could easily remove the knob cover, because by that age, they have the hand strength, coordination, and hand-size required.

I gave it for. My 2.5 year old grandson. Who seem to like it and learn without pressure. However I think 3 years would benefit more. I do not remember what this toy was recommended for by the manufacturer. I saw my grandsons interest in his brothers toy that is similar.

Yes, I use these with children all the time in my piano studio computer lab and they are adjustable enough. They have worked very well for this purpose.

You must use two fingers to operate the hot tank's safety device. However, it is fairly easy to do, so I am not that certain if it would be truly safe for younger children. It depends on how inquisitive your children are.

If the child has good coordination, I think they could handle these. The problem that pops up is how they handle the timing of pushing the talk button and then talking and then letting go. My six year old had to work on that a bit. Hope that helps.

Sure. They can use this for yrs. to come too. I have an afterschool daycare and the youngest is 6. She uses it no problem.

I have used in preschool classrooms with children as young as three and have not experienced safety concerns. The domes collapse easily.
