The tiny bowls are just right for a single golden bead and other materials. They are a nice color and add to the natural beauty of the materials in the room.
These are small but terrific for certain uses. I use them more at home than in the classroom but they are fantastic to hold a little edible treat or to give a toddler a small snack that they can carry around with them. Also great for holding small things like beads for activities or salt in the kitchen. They are beautiful, sturdy, and have held up well with a little beeswax polishing.
I mistakenly expected these bowls to be a little larger than the tiny, condiment bowls that they are. The dimensions are accurate. I just didn't pay close enough attention. We currently use them for transferring the smallest pom-poms in the pack, but only a few fit in the bowl.
