I love the quality, only hope it's not a toy
February 28, 2017
I bought this product because life practice in Montessori. Children can help with basic house chores like sweeping and mopping. Children found accomplished in working on something, rather than aimless playing.
I love the color and great quality of them, but after observing my boys using them, I found the handle of broom and mop is not long enough to sweeping and mopping comfortably. With great wood, it's too heavy to wipe with one hand continuously; if two hands, no space on the handle. Soon boys felt it's more perfect for pretending ride a horse. Then 1o mins later, they began waving in the air, like a sword. If that's the case, I prefer air-filled sword.
Just in my opinion, being a very beginner, child need his/her BOTH hands to hold a broom or mop to clean the floor. Even adult clean with both hands most of time. As a mom, I really hope Melissa and Dough can re-consider the length of the handle for broom and mop.
If you have another opinion, please feel free to let me know. Thank you very much.
