> 3 dayThese are amazing! They come in their own storage bag, has cards to change up the games. You can make up your own games with them! The kids loved them, specially since the floor is lava right now lol!

> 3 dayWe’ve had these for about two years of regular indoor and outdoor use and, while we try, we’re not always successful about bringing them inside. They were even left outside for a snowstorm and subsequent freeze and didn’t break. I’m writing this review now because one finally broke. Why still 5 stars you ask? Well, it only broke because we were being maniacs. My 15 y/o footballer of a nephew was in town and bored of playing with my 4 y/o (the usual owner of the turtle shells) so my sister and I decided to make an obstacle course for him. The shells were put further and further apart until he could no longer make tough leaps. We kept encouraging him and eventually he went full on triple jump at full speed landing hard with both feet and one of them finally cracked. I can’t believe it took that much effort to break one. My sister and I were jumping around on them and we aren’t light or light footed and nothing! After that, I’m confident there is nothing my 4 y/o could possibly do to break these things. Highly recommended.

Greater than one weekWe havent used the spinner or cards but the shells are great! They stack inside each other and can be placed in the supplied bag for storage. The grip at the bottom works well on carpet and linoleum. I havent had any issues with them sliding. Ive used them to play the floor is lava, to encourage a child with low muscle tone to step across them then jump off the last one, and to make a popcorn sound by placing a ball pit ball between two upside down shells and shaking them. One kiddo even created a game of throw and catch with them. The ridges at the top are great for grip as well as sensory output. So far the max weight on them has been around 135 lbs and they seem to be holding up well.

> 3 dayThese stepping stones are so much fun! My kids played with them inside while the weather was chilly and then moved them outside to use now that it has warmed up! Very durable material and the don’t slide when they are jumped on- so safe for lots of imaginative play! The colors are bright and cheerful too. The kids liked the cards it came with for fun ideas on how to play, and I love that it is easy to clean and comes with a storage bag! Would absolutely recommend to other parents.

Greater than one weekAfter reading other reviews, I felt confident that these turtle shells were the gross motor activity for which I was looking. They were rated well for durability and had varying sizes and multiple colors. I was sure that my kids and the preschool kids at our co-op would have fun with them. The minute I unpacked them, my kids started playing and have played with them almost daily since! The little ones at co-op also love them! We even took them on a multi-week camping trip where dozens of kids played with them daily, and they cleaned up really well with soap and water after we returned home. If you’ve never experienced the red dirt of Oklahoma, let me assure you that that’s an impressive feat!

> 3 dayMy daughter loves this. We also play games such as counting out syllables and numbers and alphabet with the steps. You can get really creative and come up with so many things to make this fun and lead into education. It also promotes ankle stability and balance in kids. They’re pretty sturdy I have even stepped on them and they supported me just fine.

> 3 dayMy almost-3 year old LOVES these! Stepping, jumping, calling out the colors, counting, putting them in different arrangements, you name it. We haven’t even used the actual games yet :) The 1 year old likes to try to walk over them (with help) as well. It’s been great indoor fun in bad weather, especially since you can just put them in a bag and in the corner- no big structures taking up room.

> 3 dayCute children’s toy that is different and reasonably priced. Stones are sturdy. Wish they all carried in size though.

> 3 dayThese were more fun than I thought they’d be! I bought them to switch it up and diversify the toys in my children’s play area. This has been great! My only “negative” is the cards are a bit boring, but we add our own flare to them and play different versions of “The floor is lava” in combination with some other toys (like a climbing dome). Helps get a lot of kid energy out!
