Starter Science Plastic Measuring Cylinders

Designed especially for young learners, the Starter Science Plastic Measuring Cylinders are a vibrant, engaging set of lab tools made from durable plastic with excellent clarity and child-safe features. Each cylinder is colour-coded and features both printed and raised graduations for clear reading, along with a sliding collar to support accurate volume marking. The wide hexagonal bases provide added stability, reducing the likelihood of tipping.

This rainbow-coloured set introduces foundational measuring skills through exploration and play. Children can practice pouring, estimate volumes, compare liquids, and even investigate density and displacement in a fun and safe way. The visual stimulation of colours combined with tactile experiences helps build essential STEM knowledge from an early age.

Educational Benefits:

• Develops numeracy, fine motor skills, and early measurement concepts
