So, the amazon review was just asking me to rate the educational value, fun, and durability of this "toy".  This is not a toy, exactly.  It's a pair of bright red pvc/oilcloth gloves.  I mean, if the heart of pedagogy is in the "how" and not the "what" than I guess the right teacher could make these educational.  They're certainly fun regardless.

At any rate, they fit great and I can't wait to tweak them for my Molotov costume this halloween.  I have no idea how durable they are yet but they're your average <$10 pair of foreign made costume gloves.  They're perfect for superhero antics and if they hold up for a few wearings I'll be satisfied.  The fingers are a tad long with a great deal of excess in the pinky particularly but not unbearable; I will turn them inside out and fix the fingers.  Also, the fingers are all seem to have a uniform girth that is just over a size 7 ring-ish.  I'd guess the actual glove size in relation to normal quality gloves is a medium / size 7.  I am 5'3", smallish, and usually wear kids sized gloves so I was glad to see they weren't wicked big on me.  They will be functional for the night and for the next comic convention in town in spring.  The wrist size is generous, too, and the length is above the elbows.  I will be cutting them down at least 4 inches so they are hemmed just below my elbow but I'd say if you want to wear them that high, they're probably 10 or 11 inches around the top opening that fits your bicep.  All in all, a fine costume purchase.
