I purchased these for a Halloween costume for one of my two boys. The gloves fit the 5 year old very well. The seem very well made and durable; it's been almost 2 months and there is still no visible wear despite regular indoor play. The only dislike I have is minor, having to do with the length, but I believe that's because my children are younger than the target size for this item. Though the forearm cover is a little long on our 5 year old (stopping about an inch from the crook of his arm) he enjoys them a lot. Our 2 1/2 year old batman fanatic, however, has the forearm covers almost up to his armpits. I'm sure as both grow the gloves and length will fit better, at least until age 8-10, depending on how big the boys grow how fast.

I honestly have no clue why I was prompted to rate the gloves "education value". They're gloves. Superhero costume gloves.

Ultimately we are very happy with these gloves.
