Would these be good for picking up with tongs to practice fine motor skills? Or are they slippery?

The bears have slight small grooves, that almost make it look like hair. I think that it would work well.

They would be good for picking up with tongs. My daughter uses them for that purpose - she's 2 1/2 and doesn't have a problem with it!

Yes, in my opinion, they are sturdy enough for little hands. They are not small like dixi cups and might be slightly large for a small hand.

They are flexible enough to allow me to grip a spatula. I use them mainly for cleaning the grills and cleaning the fryer at work and they are waterproof, otherwise they would be of no use to me.

These have a good long reach and can be used to pick up smaller items as the tips are rubber. You can use them if you have trouble bending down or stooping but be careful of the weight of the item you want to grasp. Don't try to lift more than your arms will allow you without damaging muscles.

No they will not be slippery! They grip very well and are well made! Just don't wear them on linoleum or wood floors as they will tear these type of floors up! Ice does not have a chance against these! I wore these during the cold, icy and snowy Afghanistan winter and they did the job great!

I gave them as gifts. The people I gave them to didn't say ,whether or not they were slippery. I would think if you are walking on a surface that is like linoleum it would be slippery I don't know as I said.

Yes! We have found them to be helpful for multiple uses, but we also dulled them out a bit with something sharp to make them less slippery.

yes, they have a good amount of grip for the price you are getting them. i would recommend these gloves if you're looking for a cheaper price and they will last if you take care of them.

No offense, but I look at callouses as part of being a man. That being said, theses grips are smooth and probably wouldn't rough your hands up. Great for grip training. A must have in my opinion.

I think they are soft - they are pliable - I can pinch them between my fingers.

Yes they will. I liked the resistance level on these. It was just enough to feel it the next day but not too heavy during exercise. The only downfall on these for me was that they are not ideal for small hands. They tend to slide a lot since the weight is located on top of your hand. I used these once during my combat class and had to take them off after 30 mins since I was constantly busy holding on to them trying to keep them from sliding to the side. My knuckles were pretty red from the friction.

I suppose the could be. I have small hands but felt they were too small for throwing. They didn't feel comfortable. Now, I gave them to my son--who has bigger hands--and he loves them and says that he is getting good at it. I gave him a book on how to throw also. I would say they are good for beginners based on my son's experience.

They are good on wood or tile floors where, with little weight they slide easily across the floor, but with some weight applied, they grip well. They work well on carpet or outside, but I think their forte is when used on solid floors.

They are semi grippy.. My daughter hasn't launched her phone with them on yet.. She really likes them

No, they are not slippery. I'm a senior, so yes, I think they are okay for an older person. These slippers are fine but I originally bought a pair at Bed Bath and Beyond and they were great. Unfortunately they do not sell them anymore. These had much thicker microfiber strands on the bottoms.

I think they are somewhat bulky, but I have not had any trouble grasping a pot or pan out of the oven with them. They are not stiff. You could also try the Ove Glove...it's like a glove, not a mitten and that handles the heat well also.

Yes, they work very well - I use them daily. They're also very good for the small handle on a cast iron skillet so you lift it safely with two hands.
