I bought these thinking I could use them with the preschool children that I teach for things such as counting activities. However, I did not read closely, so I missed the fact that they are erasers. And also I did not pay attention to the size dimensions. These are definitely too small for children that still put things in their mouths. With older children they would probably be fine. They are all adorable to look at. However, the different colored parts on some animals come off easily. A few of them already had pieces loose in the bag.

I love the idea of using desk pets as an individual student reward system!
