Children aren't real good with their hands. This toy is VERY difficult for me to wind up much less my 3 year old grandchildren. Since it is awkward, it doesn't catch or keep children's attention very long. Could be a really good toy if it weren't so awkward. I've had much better. I would highly discourage this purchase for anyone.

My son loves to help my husband around the house. I had the hardest time keeping him away from the real tape measure and then found this tape measure online. Now I just have to say, get your own 'measure' (as he calls it) and there is no more fighting. It's safe and is long enough that he feels he is actually helping daddy. Last night he told me 'look mommy, I am counting too' Great toy.

I bought this for my son's 2nd birthday and it's something he just doesn't want to put down!

It is a bit tough to wind the tape back in, so he pulls it out, hands it back to me to rewind, and then pulls it out again.

We also used it one time, when we couldn't locate our tape measure - so it's fun for parents, too!

I bought this for my 4 1/2 yr old for Christmas. It is easy and fun to use and I loved that it is educational and does not require batteries.

My son played with for less than a week before the tape part completely ripped out.

I would save your money.

This toy is a winner in my daycare. The children love pulling out the tape and reeling it back in. Also pretend to measure objects. They can learn numbers in a fun way. They play with it for long periods of time. Great toy for your child or bought as a gift.

My 2 girls love to measure (ags 2, 4) I purchased 2 so there would not be any fighting. It does not retract, the way "real" tape measures do and the handle is hard to turn for them. Skip it.

Pretty disappointed with this toy. The plus is that the tape is plastic so it cannot whip the handler when it retracts (bcz you have to wind it up). The down side is that it is so HUGE even for little hands. Grossly underestimated its appeal for my little guy - and he LOVES tools. Save your cash.

I bought this toy for my 3-year-old granddaughter who loves tools. This tape measure is big and the quality is great. The problem is that she cannot wind it back in because it is hard to turn. I even have to use a bit of strength to wind it in. So, she gets very frustrated with it.

This toy is probably good for a kid who doesn't understand what the tool is, what it does, or what it is for. But my 2 y/o knows what a measuring tape is, and just needed one that wasn't metal that wouldn't cut his hands! This thing is HUGE, and you have to "wind" it up to roll the tape back up. He hasn't touched it since the day he got it b/c it doesn't roll up like a real one, and b/c it's so big. He literally looked at it and said "Ma-ma, dis is for a baby".

Tape measure is not 2-3yr old kid friendly. The tape part is hard for a 2 yr old to get out and then they can barely turn it to get it reeled back in. I would not recommend for a 2-3 yr old.
